Ongoing tracking of deliveries and products means that modern warehouses rely on extremely precise inventory management systems. For instance, items are often traced through the supply chain from the point of arrival, to storage in the warehouse, to distribution. Technological systems, such as radio frequency identification chips, sensory software, barcodes, and others, mean that warehouses today are becoming more efficient and productive.

More and more warehouses are also now relying on AI and robotics technology than ever before. Robotic solutions add precision, accuracy, and speed to warehouse operations and therefore boost their overall productivity. They often work alongside humans, giving support with tasks that might be otherwise repetitive or tedious. Examples of robotic tech in modern warehouses include automated guided vehicles, robotic cube storage systems, autonomous mobile robots, and pick and place robots.
