Abstract

Warehousing is an integral component of supply chain management, serving as a link between procurement and distribution. After witnessing a downfall during the COVID-19 pandemic, the 3PL market has experienced a rebound due to the adoption of digital solutions and technology. Gone are the days when organisations were using traditional warehouse management systems to manage and track the activities of a warehouse. Modern warehouse managing systems are software-based and are designed to be cost-effective, improve order fulfillment and delivery times, optimise inventory levels, improve lead times, reduce logistics costs and increase competitive advantage. This chapter focuses on introducing and analyzing the concept of smart warehousing. This chapter aims to enable the students to understand how the supply chain industry is embracing digital transformation by using Artificial Intelligence, IoT and analytics, advanced robotics and automation, RFID, automated guided vehicles (AGV) and Blockchain Technology.
