This is the way of the future in manufacturing, warehousing and logistics. Even with the recent uncertainty in the economy due to recent bank failures and inflation, customers want their products, and some manufacturers struggle to keep up. Logistics requires improving digital information flow, too.

Robotics aren’t only for the largest manufacturing or warehousing applications. Vining: Autonomous self-flying drones, flying robots, have collision avoidance and would not be used in warehousing or other application if unsafe. This also would make robotic integration easier for information technology (IT).

Logistics, warehousing, and shipping organizations are struggling to operate faster. In a warehouse or distribution center, pallet loads typically mark the beginning and end of the warehousing process. But most warehousing and logistics operations move packages that can be any color, size, shape, and material.
