IMHX

Hi there 👋, Joel Martin here from #IMHX. This month I’d like to take a moment to consider the latest tech finding its way into UK warehouses.   The UK's logistics sector is witnessing a revolutionary shift with the introduction of cutting-edge warehouse automation technologies. AMHSA Secretary, Dave Berridge, added: “It is an exciting time to be involved in the industry, as new technologies continue to change the automation landscape. We look forward to supporting and attending IMHX 2025 next year when many of our members shall be exhibiting and demonstrating their innovative products and services”. Let's consider a few of the latest tech making an impact... AI-Powered Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) 🤖 The latest AMRs in UK warehouses are equipped with advanced AI and machine learning capabilities. These robots can navigate complex warehouse environments autonomously, adapting to changes in real time. They're being used for tasks ranging from picking and packing to inventory management.   Digital Twins and IoT Integration 🧠 Forward-thinking UK warehouses are implementing digital twin technology, creating virtual replicas of their physical operations. Coupled with IoT sensors, this allows for real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance, significantly reducing downtime.   Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (AS/RS) 🧭 Next-generation AS/RS now incorporate machine learning algorithms to optimise storage strategies. These systems can predict demand patterns and adjust inventory placement accordingly, maximising space utilisation and reducing retrieval times.   Augmented Reality (AR) for Picking and Training 🥽 AR technology is being trialled in select UK warehouses for order picking and staff training. Workers equipped with AR glasses can receive visual cues for navigation and item location, dramatically improving accuracy and efficiency.   Do you have products, systems or services designed for warehouse owners or architects?

Joel Martin here with more facts on a Friday 😎… and this month we’re looking at developments in sustainable warehousing. 2024, has seen a strong push to make warehouse logistics more eco-friendly, and a few key trends are leading the charge. These shifts are all about blending sustainability with the latest tech. 1. #Renewable Energy Adoption - More warehouses are kitting out their facilities with #solar panels and swapping old lighting for energy-efficient LEDs. This isn’t just a token gesture - switching to #LED can slash energy use by up to 80% compared to traditional bulbs. 💡 2. #Automation and AI - Of course there’s been a big move towards automation and AI to boost efficiency and cut waste. Automated systems like Automated Guided Vehicles (#AGV) and smart inventory management powered by AI are making operations leaner. They’re helping to avoid overstock and ensuring orders are spot-on, which means less unnecessary transport and storage, and lower emissions as a result. 🦾 3. #Sustainable #Packaging and Waste Reduction - Warehouses are also upping their game with eco-friendly packaging and waste management. More are using recyclable materials and setting up proper recycling programmes. Plus, warehouse designs are literally getting greener [SEC Group], with some even incorporating green spaces to improve air quality and employee wellbeing. 🌲 These trends show how the warehouse logistics sector is not just focusing on being efficient but also making serious strides towards meeting #environmental goals. It’s clear that being green is no longer just a nice-to-have but a core part of business. 👍 The Green Logistics Zone at #IMHX 2025 is just one of the ways that we’re helping warehouse operators explore the new sustainable developments set to reshape the sector.
