Investing in Logistics Automation Technology—Linked White Paper Sample

Making the Right Investments in Automated Warehouse Technology

The issue is that warehouse automation requires investment, and lots of it. Significant up-front capital expenditure combines with multi-year infrastructure projects and concerns around future demand and technological relevance. This makes warehouse automation investment decisions difficult—balancing enormously significant promises and benefits on one side with questions about ROI and risk appetite on the other.

This paper explores many of these concepts, in particular the most important factors for investing in automation, and the best ways to achieve that. At the heart of this is the tension between promises and risks—what automation could deliver, versus the direct and indirect costs of investment. This paper also proposes a solution to these challenges: shifting the risks by moving towards true, end-to-end third-party logistics (3PL) providers who are leading the field in automation investments.
