If you think far back enough, you will realize how automation has been at the core of logistics since it’s inception. There was a time when the steam train revolutionized the industry. Today we take things as simple as a forklift for granted. But these were advances in the industry towards automation. Today we have advanced automation like robotic pickers and packers that industry leaders like Amazon use daily. Automation is not only limited to physical activities but also applies to the handling of company data and transactional flow.
