As warehouse automation technology evolves, so does its accessibility.📈 This latest DC Velocity article highlights how innovations in automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS) are breaking down traditional barriers — making warehouse automation more scalable, flexible, and cost-effective than ever before. Automation is no longer limited to the largest operations — it’s now a practical, strategic investment for businesses of all sizes. 👉 Dive into the full article to see how the new wave of ASRS is transforming supply chains across industries (🔗link in the comments). #WarehouseAutomation #OrderFulfillment #ASRS #Logistics #SupplyChain #WarehouseStorage #WarehouseRobotics

A high-speed loop sorter can do more than move goods from A to B. In a well-designed set-up, it becomes the backbone of a distribution centre, connecting inbound, outbound, and everything in between. Our latest deep-dive article explores how loop sortation can act as the central link between systems and processes in complex Distribution Centre (DC) environments. When integrated into a broader network of technologies, it helps create a more connected and responsive operation that’s ready for the demands of retail and e-commerce. From loose-loaded cartons and pallet handling to multi-route sorting and data-driven oversight, the loop sorter brings together the full material flow into one cohesive system.

For decades, warehouses have been automating workflows like pallet moves, storage, and even picking. But there’s one process that has stubbornly resisted automation: case picking. Why? Case picking combines nearly every complexity in logistics: Wide variability in case size, shape, and weight Constant re-slotting of SKUs in fast-paced environments The need for precise sequencing to meet order requirements Heavy labor dependence, with high turnover and rising costs Traditional automation struggled here. Fixed infrastructure lacked flexibility, while mobile solutions couldn’t adapt to real-world variability. The result? Case picking remained the bottleneck, forcing operations to rely on labor that’s harder and harder to source. That’s why we built CaseFlow. Vecna Robotics’ CaseFlow is the industry’s first scalable solution to truly automate case picking. By combining advanced autonomous mobile robots with our orchestration engine, Pivotal, CaseFlow: ✅ Adapts dynamically to case variability and slotting changes ✅ Integrates seamlessly with existing warehouse workflows ✅ Scales up during peak demand and flexes back afterward The outcome is not just higher throughput—it’s a path to end-to-end warehouse automation, where case picking is no longer the weak link. Case picking has been one of the last frontiers in automation. With CaseFlow, we’re proud to say the frontier is finally open. 👉 Learn more about how CaseFlow is transforming one of the toughest challenges in logistics. https://hubs.ly/Q03FyfYX0

Vanderlande recently delivered a cross-dock sorting solution to Harris Farm Markets’ distribution centre (DC) in Sydney, Australia. The new building consolidates the functions of several facilities previously used by the company. It resolves capacity constraints and facilitates supply chain synergies across a number of operational areas.
