n the realm of modern logistics, the efficiency and reliability
of warehouses, both for cold storage and ambient facilities,
play a pivotal role in maintaining the quality and safety of
perishable dairy products. The demand for robust storage
solutions continues to surge, driving innovation in the sector.
There are a number of advancements in technology that
are reshaping the landscape of warehousing. Automation,
supply chain transparency and predictive analytics are helping
processors work more efficiently with smaller workforces.
A well designed and efficiently operated warehouse has
several key features that make it a critical component of the
supply chain for temperature sensitive products.
Understanding these elements can help businesses select
the right cold storage warehousing partner and ensure their
products are safely and adequately stored.
AUTOMATION
One of the most significant developments in warehousing
is the integration of automation and robotics. Automated
guided vehicles (AGVs) and robotic arms have streamlined

operations, reducing human error and optimizing workflow.
These robotic systems can efficiently navigate through
narrow aisles, picking and placing items with precision.
Moreover, advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and
machine learning enable these machines to adapt to changing
conditions, enhancing efficiency and productivity.
In response to labor shortages and the surge in
e-commerce, consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies
are increasingly adopting warehouse automation solutions,
as highlighted in a report by PMMI, The Association for
Packaging and Processing Technologies.
PMMI's Packaging and Automation in the Warehouses
of the Future report revealed that the complexities arising
from rising e-commerce and direct-to-consumer demands are
driving the need for mixed and layered pallets in warehousing
and fulfilment operations.
The PMMI report indicates a significant shift towards
warehouse automation solutions, including palletizers and
mobile robots. Projections show that more than one in four
warehouses will have some form of automation by 2027,
