With less than 10% of warehouses currently automated, the industry is on the verge of a major transformation.
As automation surges, one element will define success: the power of high-quality data.
In this episode, Ries Bouwman, Product Manager at KNAPP, and Gasper Gulotta, Director of Software Consultancy at KNAPP, join hosts Reid Jackson and Liz Sertl to discuss how accurate data is essential to the future of warehouse automation.
Reis and Gasper share examples of how poor data can disrupt automated systems, causing costly delays and inefficiencies. They emphasize that by improving data management, companies can not only prevent these issues but also unlock the full potential of automation.
Automation isn’t just about the machines—it’s about ensuring accurate, complete data that systems can rely on to function smoothly.

-
Why data accuracy is critical for successful warehouse automation
