In recent years warehouse operations have experienced an increase in the use of robotics to meet the need for better productivity efficiency and accuracy. While growing in popularity, the percentage of warehouses that have converted to using robots has not changed much from year to year. This project will identify the key barriers to or catalysts of warehouse robotics adoption by assessing the underlying economic technological organizational infrastructural and environmental considerations influencing company's decision about whether it is willing to implement robotic systems within its warehouses. Potential economics include initial cost of investment, maintenance costs, and financial readiness. Possible technology includes system complexity, reliability, and compatibility issues. Organizationally key influences include the level of management support, the readiness of employees to adopt new technology, and an organizations resistance to change. In addition to financial, technological, and organizational hurdles, the project also assesses the state of warehouse infrastructure readiness (ex: facility layout, power supply, and system integration). Finally it will evaluate the environmental factors affecting warehouse robotics use (ex: workplace conditions, safety concerns, and regulatory influences). Ultimately this project provides warehouse managers and consultants with valuable insight into the difficulties they face however it also demonstrates the importance of balancing the elements of financial technological and organizational readiness to successfully implement robots into their warehouses.
