1. Automation is based on complicated technologies
It is commonly thought that the automation of logistics infrastructures involves the installation of tools with very complex technology: actually, minimum skills are required to work with an automated warehouse and its integration is always supported by adequate training.
2. Installing an automated warehouse is very expensive
People are often surprised when they discover that the costs of automation are lower than they thought. This is because the equipment can be purchased individually and adapted to the real needs of the company. Moreover, the installation times are rather short, avoiding production stops and consequent delays in order processing.
3. An automated warehouse is not flexible enough
Although it is thought that automated equipment is difficult to adapt to the infrastructures and machinery already present in the logistics department, this solution is actually easily adaptable to the production needs of the area in which it is installed, ensuring an almost immediate optimization of warehouse activities.
4. Automated solutions are not compatible with warehouse management software
Another misconception: you can request a customized solution that communicates seamlessly with the software that is already in use in your company, keeping track of all picking and order processing operations more effectively.
5. An automated warehouse is not reliable in the event of a breakdown
The fear that a machinery downtime could slow down production pushes many entrepreneurs not to rely on warehouse automation: although this equipment is very reliable, in the event of a breakdown an automated warehouse can also be used manually, working directly on the mechanical components and thus avoiding blocking production. In addition, it is possible to request continuous support and immediate assistance from the company that provides the automation solutions, effectively eliminating the risk of machine downtime.
