In the ongoing digitalisation process, no other industry is currently undergoing such a large-scale transformation as the wholesale and retail trade. With more than 3 million employees, the industry has an enormous area coverage, but also a very high degree of logistical maturity.
This is why there is now a trend towards automation in order picking and more flexible production processes. One basis for this is a fundamental optimization of warehouse processes, which results in faster and more cost-effective procedures. Of course, this also has an effect on order processing, warehousing, picking, packaging and transport of merchandise.
