There are more than five hundred distribution centers scheduled to open across North America in 2015. There are certain basic processes that can be evaluated now to avoid the risks of poor automation planning. ”Too often planners of new distribution centers consider automation too late in the planning process,” according to John Hayes, founder and thought leader of No Risk Automation (www.NoRiskAutomation.com). Hayes started the firm to inform and protect automation decision-makers. Hayes noted, “The company also targets large multi-site manufacturing and distribution customers that want to explore automation but does not wish to assign the resources nor has the appropriate resources readily available. The CEO and senior management often provide the leadership in forming an effective relationship with No Risk Automation.” Hayes also suggested that many of these new distribution centers may also include traditional users including manufacturing, automotive, food & beverage, consumer packaged goods, pulp & paper, textile, and distribution. Manufacturing companies tied to distribution in the same building can realize optimal benefits as well.
