The increased adoption of automation technologies, coupled with the spurt in connectivity, has resulted in fruitful propositions for industries such as e-
commerce, manufacturing, logistics etc, which have turned out to be more efficient as well as resilient. A very crucial node in the supply chain that exists between businesses and their end consumers is the makeover or automation of the warehouses at a large scale. Here we look at a few top tech-enabled warehouse automation products that can be leveraged by businesses in India to boost their overall efficiency.

Atmos A42N:

It is an autonomous case handling robotic system that has the potential to enhance inbound as well as outbound efficiency of a warehouse. Introduced recently in India by warehouse automation solutions provider Atmos Systems, A42N comes with a load capacity of 150 kg and is equipped to handles cases of different sizes. The robotic system can enhance the storage density of any warehouse by up to 130%, once connected with the business management system of the warehouse.
