The advantages of the e-commerce process are broad and practically are a forced implementation for the growth of any company. However, adapting to this new modality of virtual commerce has been a challenge for small, medium and large companies, thanks to the complexity of the intralogistics processes that must satisfy the requirements of a new client.
In this blog we will talk about great allies for your company: technologies that allow the intralogistics automation of e-commerce. Stay with us and discover all that innovation and current trends are changing in the processes of buying and selling.
Why do new technologies for intralogistics automation arise in e-commerce processes?
From the outset we know that the basic logistics operations are complex because of the combined variables, where the workflow, delivery date, expiration, traceability, balance, greater rotations per season, that is, the entire production of the Distribution Center, are combined: inputs, outputs and internal processes.
However, e-commerce has marked additional premises that make it more complex, because it demands an instant response time, because of the promises of value to the current customer, which requires multiple product options, low cost and immediate delivery (hours) .
What are the best technologies for intralogistics automation in e-commerce processes?
Technologies for intralogistics automation improve productivity and help with the planning of workflows. Among the best technologies and current applications are the following:
1.- Collaborative robot
The collaborative robot has the ability to respond dynamically to the requirements of e- commerce. Help processing and re-processing inputs and outputs. Thanks to the accumulation of information that manages, you can send the products to places that are most urgently required, for example, currently in Mexico will begin the heat season, so the collaborative robot decides to send them to Bogotá, where the weather cold is at its maximum point.
Currently, collaborative robots go alone, pretending that they have "own thoughts". Amazon in United States has bet heavily on this technology of intralogistics automation, has about 10,000 collaborative robots working in its DC.
