Last week (10th-11th March), we had the chance to attend the Warehouse Distribution Fleet Forum at Hinckley Island Hotel. This event brought together industry leaders to discuss the latest trends, challenges, and tech innovations in warehousing and logistics. As experts in infrastructure and technology solutions, we were excited to share our knowledge of how we’re helping the industry evolve.
Meeting key decision-makers
One of the highlights of the forum was the ‘speed dating’ style event, where we had quick, focused meetings with decision-makers from various warehouse operations, from large 3PL’s to newly formed logistics companies. This gave us the chance to learn about the specific challenges they face, including the need for scalable, flexible solutions that improve efficiency and support growth.
The challenges warehouse managers face
Through these conversations, a few key themes emerged:
- Operational efficiency: Warehouse managers need smarter, data-driven solutions to reduce downtime, increase output, and cut costs.
- Automation & technology integration: Many are exploring automation, but integrating new technologies with existing systems can be a challenge.
- Sustainability: There’s a growing focus on green logistics, with decision-makers seeking solutions to reduce their carbon footprint.
- Supply chain resilience: With recent disruptions, there’s an emphasis on building more resilient supply chains that can adapt to global changes.
- Generative AI & Internet of Things (IoT): From using AI to optimise warehouse layout and predict demand fluctuation, to using IoT temperature and humidity sensors to monitor your environment and respond in real-time, the cutting edge of technology can positively impact the sector.
