Discover How DMW&H is Revolutionizing Food & Beverage Distribution
“In today’s rapidly changing food and beverage industry, automation has become essential in overcoming labor shortages and ensuring operational efficiency. As Michael Roe of DMW&H explains, ‘People just don’t want to work in a warehouse anymore, and even when they do, retaining those individuals is difficult. This creates an opportunity for companies to look at things in a different way and to leverage automation, new technologies, and other innovations to run their operations.”
“Credit the lack of labor with driving these types of decisions in a work environment where “throwing more people at it” was generally considered the best way to solve a problem or to ramp up an operation. Instead, companies are looking at options like Movu’s pallet shuttle automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS) combined with DMW&H’s indaGO warehouse execution system (WES) software to move products in and out of frozen facilities. The pallet shuttle can operate in temperatures as low as -13 degrees Fahrenheit.”
