By Marcus Schunemann, head of autonomy at Dexory

Warehouses are under growing pressure to do more with less. Labour shortages, rising operating costs and continued supply chain disruption are forcing logistics operators to rethink how goods are stored, tracked and moved.

UK Warehousing Association research shows that recruitment difficulty remains widespread in warehousing, with only 13 percent of employers reporting no difficulty hiring staff and more than half expecting critical skills shortages, indicating a persistent labour gap across the sector.

At the same time, the push towards automation is accelerating. According to McKinsey, warehouse automation adoption is growing at more than 10 percent annually, driven by the need to improve efficiency, resilience and cost control.
