Retrofit Considerations and How to Successfully Implement
It has now been 60 years since the opening of the first “automated” high bay warehouse (HBW). Since then, thousands of HBWs and other automated warehouses have been built and some of them have been going for decades. After years of operation though, very few systems still exist in the same format as they were installed. When product ranges, volumes or customer demands change, modernization and expansion become necessary.

For years, the terms “big data” and “artificial intelligence (AI)” in supply chains were just words. A few early adopters began exploring the potential of these technologies, but the majority of supply chain operations struggled to figure out how they could be applied to solve daily business challenges. Now big data and AI are being used in a multitude of forms could help leaders better manage and adapt to unforeseen disruptions.
