Logistics
The logistics sector and AIDC technologies go hand in hand. Many of the first uses of the technology were developed within this field and the demands of supply chain management have been important in driving innovation in AIDC.
The benefits of AIDC within the logistics sector are clear:
- Management can have all the information they need to make the right decisions quickly and confidently—at their fingertips, all the time
- Customer satisfaction sky-rockets: the right product is always delivered to the right place, at the right time, at the right price
- As a result, repeat business is much easier to win
- Processes at every stage of the supply chain are accelerated and data-entry happens without errors
- Stock levels and locations are accurately recorded and instantly retrievable, and remote workers have instant access to stock information and delivery schedules
- The moment goods are signed for, you know they’ve arrived—and there’s proof of delivery without drivers having to complete mountains of paperwork
- Company assets are accounted for, and premises are secure.
