The Importance of Smart Warehousing Services in the Logistics Industry
Warehousing services have been in use since the times of the Industrial revolution. Since then, they have evolved a lot and the modern warehousing services have very little in common with the first warehousing services that were used in Victorian England. However, one thing that has been constant through the centuries is that they have always remained integral parts of a logistics network.
Fast forward to modern times, smart warehousing services have become the backbone of logistics services across the globe. Be it in-land, or overseas, warehousing services have evolved according to the needs of various industries. As civilization evolved and industries, economics, and business have come together, warehousing services too have grown to cater to the needs of the times.
Why we need different types of warehousing services?
It is not always practical to create a one size fits all warehousing service for different goods. For instance, warehousing services that is designed store electronic gadgets may not be the best fit to store perishable goods and certain types of medical equipment. Each of these scenarios would require specificwarehousing servicesthat are designed especially to cater to the norms of these, i.e. storing perishable goods would require sophisticated and temperature facilities whereas, in the first scenario, a normal warehousing facility would do just fine.
Some challenges faced by traditional warehousing services
The challenged faced by warehousing services are not limited to just the type of goods ferried by a particular industry. Modern logistics industries, unlike their older counterparts, are designed to transport different types of good to many different industries across multiple different locations, both nationally and internationally. Time, geography, capacity, and variety therefore are some of the things that any warehousing service needs to take into consideration. Further, manpower and technology are also important clogs within a warehousing service. Finally warehousing service now also needs to have a sound digital management system at its back.
Current trends in warehousing services
Some of the modern trends in warehousing services include having automated warehouses, the emergence of retail themed warehouses and the convergence betweencold storageand warehouses.
1.Automated warehouses: Some of the modern warehousing services offer completely automated warehouses. Most of the times a single operator monitors and controls these spaces with the help of a lot of automated machineries.
2.The retail-themed warehouse. Some retail stores often adopt this method. In an innovative way, these retail stores often utilize the space and aligning systems that a typical warehousing service will adopt. The only difference is that here unlike most cases, here the warehouse is on display right in front of the consumers! Yes, we have all been inside these warehouses!
3.Cold storage warehouse: Advancement in the FMCG industry and the evolution of supply chain management systems have created a whole new brand of warehousing services, one that is
focused upon storing time and weather sensitive goods, often for a longer time. These create a set up where the cold storage and the warehousing services merge.
