Despite being a critical component of supply chain and logistics processes, warehousing has historically been overlooked by Indian industries. Following numerous global supply chain disruptions, development and advancement in the sectors have expedited. There is a greater emphasis, attention, and growth in the use of robotics and automation technologies to meet increased customer needs and efficiently manage inventory. Indian industry titans have a significant opportunity to upgrade and design warehouses in accordance with these evolving global standards.
