QC Software Looks at Material Handling Trends Warehouse Management News

In the current issue of Warehouse Management News

, http://qcsoftware.com/PDFs/Newsletter_Aug_2010.pdf, QC Software President Rich Hite, noted, "According to recent surveys taken by industry professionals, manufacturing and warehousing companies are more optimistic about the economy. Compared to 2008, more companies are planning to invest in material handling technology in the next few years in an effort to become more efficient and competitive. Specifically, they are interested in RFID, automated storage, and bar code scanners. As for information technology, companies are emphasizing warehouse control systems to manage their equipment. Managers believe there will be fewer jobs as automation increases. Since sales have decreased in the past few years, it is not surprising that companies are focused on continuous improvement, productivity, cost containment and faster return on investment. Companies are evaluating their resources to improve throughput. To facilitate the movement of product, companies are emphasizing collaboration with trading partners, which means an increase in cross docking. Managers are concerned about security issues regarding records and data, probably because more information is shared with supply chain partners. Warehouses, distribution centers and manufacturing plants are now operating at a lower capacity, though this will change as orders increase. As for sustainability, companies will continue to recycle. Many companies also plan to find out if solar panels are feasible, probably due to incentives and new regulations. By most indications, the economy will continue to improve at a slower pace. An upward trend is certainly good news. So is the optimism."
