Abstract
Making a profit from investment involves taking risks. Experience enables these risks to be evaluated and the benefits assessed. The main problem with investment in warehouse automation is that it is frequently a once-in-a-lifetime experience and it is easy to make a mistake. The secret of success is meticulous planning and the use of an appropriate level of technology, taking into account the difficulty of predicting what the various operations within the warehouse may be required to do.
