摘要

Zebra Technologies announced the results of its "2024 Warehousing Vision Study," analyzing IT and operations decision makers' current and planned strategies for modernizing their warehouses, DCs and fulfillment centers. The study reports on the forward thinking fulfillment strategies companies are focusing on to keep up with the growth of the on-demand economy. According to the survey, more than three-quarters (77%) of respondents agree that augmenting workers with technology is the best way to introduce automation in the warehouse, but only 35% have a clear understanding of where to start. In the meantime, 87% of those surveyed are in the process of or planning to expand the size of their warehouses by 2024, with 82% anticipating an increase in the number of warehouses during this time.
