At the exhibitions, we saw a wide range of futuristic technology designed to streamline the entire logistics process. From automated warehouses powered by AI to autonomous delivery vehicles, everything is being designed to work seamlessly together to ensure the smooth and efficient movement of goods.
We were impressed by the possibilities that these advancements could offer and can't wait to see how their implementation will grow over the next few years.
As mentioned, the adoption of automation has garnered immense attention in the exhibitions held this spring. The cobots and conveyers featured in these expos were impressive, showcasing the latest technological advancements.
Joel Stillson, a regional sales manager in the US, has recognised the importance of manual labour in the age of technology:
When it comes to designing workbenches in the in-house logistics sector, knowing the entire process is crucial. Manual workstations must be designed in a way that allows for integration with automated systems. During the exhibitions in which we took part, we noticed the importance of integrating manual workstations with automated lines.
In each exhibition, we were glad to see that visitors were impressed by the possibility of attaching workbenches to conveyer lines, for example, through the use of ramps. This highlights the need for well-designed workstations that can keep up with the demands of modern, automated logistics systems.
Among other things, Joel Stillson has noticed the importance of constantly growing the need for ergonomic workstations in the in-house logistics sector:
In the in-house logistics sector, it is typical to use the same workbench for multiple employees, which often neglects the ergonomic needs of each individual. Stillson emphasises that competition among the workforce is directly correlated with the working conditions provided:
As workspaces continue to evolve, there is an increasingly apparent demand for workbenches that offer modularity and flexibility to support the workflow. By optimising the workbench for specific tasks, productivity can be greatly enhanced.
However, in order to continuously improve the workflow in processes, workbenches must be capable of being modified more extensively than simply adding a few standardised components. This need for adaptability is key to staying ahead of the ever-changing demands of modern workplaces.
At Treston, we are ready to offer, in addition to the modular workbenches with an excessive number of accessories, many different kinds of customised solutions.
