Warehouse Operations Leaders Provide Insights on Trends & Future Plans

Zebra Technologies is back with a timely update to its 2019 Warehouse Vision Study ! The new 2027 Zebra Warehouse Vision Study is the result of survey of warehouse operators and decision makers worldwide, who were asked about their investment plans and expectations between 2022 and 2027. We are happy to present the Vision Study as a free download (see below).

2027 Zebra Warehouse Vision Study Key Takeaways

  1. Challenges in the marketplace have created a catalyst for positive change: Covid, supply chain shortages, difficult in attracting staff. These have all created major headaches for business. However, ‘necessity is the mother of invention’, and thus these crises have pushed warehouses to adapt and improve… adopting technology, creating more flexible work environments, and rethinking supply chains for more future robustness.
  2. Clarity on the most significant warehouse challenges: Shipping volumes are up (>20%), rising e-commerce activity creates unpredictable customer demand and faster delivery expectations, and returns management and fulfillment are challenging execs. At the same time, it’s harder to hire workers and retain warehouse associates.
  3. Presentation of the 5-year warehouse operations outlook: Eliminating unnecessary tasks is a priority, and there is an intention to improve labor optimization with mobile technology and warehouse automation solutions such as robotics and the autonomous mobile robot. There is a strong trend towards facility automation (over 30% intend to be fully or partially automated in 5 years).
