We�re proud to share a new byline from our Co-Founder and CEO, Daniel Sokolovsky, published in Total Retail.Inbound freight is where efficiency is won or lost, and automation is changing the game. Robotics and advanced orchestration software help move goods faster, safer, and with fewer errors. Automated unloaders, mobile robots, and vision-guided palletizers make every movement more cost effective.Daniel highlights four ways automation is transforming inbound freight:1. Container and truck unloadingAutomated unloaders can scan mixed cartons and move hundreds of cases per hour. This reduces bottlenecks, lowers labor costs, improves safety, and minimizes product damage.2. Sorting and inter-warehouse transportationAutonomous mobile robots and robotic induction systems move goods between receiving, staging, and storage with greater speed and consistency. One human can supervise multiple robots, multiplying labor productivity.3. Palletizing and depalletizingVision-guided robotic arms build and break down mixed-SKU pallets quickly and accurately. This improves throughput, reduces rework, and allows employees to focus on supervisory roles rather than repetitive heavy lifting.4. Picking and storingAI-enabled piece-picking robots, goods-to-person systems, and AMRs accelerate the transition from received freight to ready-to-ship inventory. This improves inventory availability, accuracy, and cost control during peak periods.At Warp, we see automation not as individual tools but as a system. The future of inbound freight belongs to operators who coordinate robots and processes across the network to drive efficiency, consistency, and resilience.We would love to hear your thoughts. How is your organization using automation to improve inbound freight operations?Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/d3x-6hhE#Technology #RetailSupplyChain #MiddleMile
