  The logistics industry is undergoing a significant transformation, and at the heart of this change is automation. From robotics to AI-powered systems, automation is revolutionising warehousing operations, helping companies meet the growing demands of e-commerce while also tackling one of the most pressing challenges of our time: sustainability. Warehouses are massive consumers of energy, from lighting and heating to the operation of heavy machinery. As companies expand their logistics operations to meet e-commerce demands, energy usage soars, along with costs and environmental impact. Fortunately, automation provides a solution that not only improves efficiency but also significantly enhances sustainability. By automating repetitive tasks such as picking, packing, and sorting, warehouses can reduce human error, improve accuracy, and speed up processes—all while using less energy. Automated systems can run on renewable energy sources and be programmed to operate only when nece...
