It has been said <\/strong>that the implementation of the idea of \u200b\u200bIndustry 4.0, including Warehouses 4.0, may lead to a serious reduction in the number of jobs. Automation and robotisation raise many concerns. But is it right? Will machines actually take jobs away from people?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fact is that machines could take our jobs now: we could be working much shorter hours even today. Why is this not happening? Because the use of modern technologies requires a change of mentality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fourth industrial revolution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Currently, we cannot imagine a situation where a full-time working day lasts 4 hours and a working week only 3 or 4 days<\/strong>. We are no different from our ancestors who, back in the 19th century, could not have imagined that it is enough to work only 8 hours a day and spend the rest of your time on relaxation or entertainment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Giving the working class free time (a concept unknown in previous centuries) was expected to cause the collapse of the economy and the destruction of social order. Today, similar concerns are raised by the idea of replacing manual labor with machines. The inevitable finale will be, or actually is, a revolution – the fourth industrial revolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless of the attitude to robotisation, the fact is that it will continue and gradually warehouses will become darker – there will be more <\/strong>stores of <\/strong>the dark store<\/a> model<\/strong> [link do artyku\u0142u Dark Store. Supermarket with no customers] and people won’t even know where those facilities are. They won’t need to know because they won’t have to go to the stores to stock up on the goods they need – from fresh rolls for breakfast to a new car. Some may remark that trading is already working like this. True, but it’s about scale \u2013 trading in a stationary model will completely cease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the benefits of automating warehouse processes?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Warehouse automation<\/a> is progressing because it brings real business benefits. Here are the most important of them:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
