In today’s fast-paced logistics and e-commerce environment, third-party logistics (3PL) providers face increasing pressure to deliver efficient, scalable solutions to meet fluctuating demand. This seminar, sponsored by Kardex, explores how automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS), specifically cube-based systems, can be implemented within a six-month timeline to achieve rapid operational readiness—eliminating the need to "settle" for less efficient alternatives.
Many companies opt for Automated Mobile Robot (AMR) solutions due to perceived faster deployment. However, with the ability to implement ASRS in as little as six months, businesses can achieve superior operational efficiency and storage density without compromise. We’ll explore real-world case studies that demonstrate how 3PLs have successfully integrated ASRS within short timelines to manage peak season demands, unexpected spikes, and enhanced competitiveness.
Additionally, in an environment where labor shortages continue to challenge warehouse operations, automation helps companies reduce their dependence on manual labor, driving both productivity and cost savings.
Finally, we will discuss how current economic conditions, particularly the rising cost of capital, have made leasing options for ASRS more appealing than in previous years when capital costs were lower. These leasing models allow companies to start realizing their return on investment (ROI) from Day 1, without the need for a significant upfront capital outlay.
