Automation is no longer just an option—it's a necessity for businesses looking to stay competitive and efficient. But scaling automation successfully requires more than just adding new technology. It demands a strategic approach that aligns with your operational goals and growth plans. Here are a few key ways to scale smarter: 1️⃣ Assess Before You Invest Take a deep dive into your current operations. Identify bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and areas where automation can provide the most value. A targeted approach ensures you’re solving the right problems. 2️⃣ Start with Scalable Solutions Choose automation technologies that can grow with your business. Scalable solutions like modular AS/RS systems, flexible software platforms, and adaptable robotics allow for phased implementation. 3️⃣ Integrate for Efficiency Automation isn’t just about individual technologies—it’s about how they work together. Seamless integration between WMS, WES, and ERP systems ensures optimal performance and data visibility across your supply chain. 4️⃣ Future-Proof Your Investment Consider long-term trends and emerging technologies. Solutions that leverage AI, machine learning, and predictive analytics can help you stay ahead of evolving demands. 5️⃣ Work with the Right Partner Partnering with an experienced intralogistics provider ensures you get the right mix of technology, consulting, and support to scale efficiently—without disrupting your operations. At Hy-Tek Intralogistics, we help businesses scale their automation efforts smartly, ensuring long-term success with tailored solutions that grow with you.

St. Andrew’s Robotics Team – which is both a class and a club – is in the midst of completing their robot to compete at the FIRST Tech Challenge this winter. Team members can now practice driving it on their recently constructed field. The theme of this year’s competition is "Into the Deep.” Teams score points by dropping samples into the buckets, placing specimens onto the chamber, and hanging on the low or high rung. Check out the video to see the robot in action!

"The real heart of collaborative robotics is this notion of using automation for 80-90% of the job and people for 10-20% of the job. That gets you both a better ROI and a better solution because people can provide the context that robots aren't anywhere close to and won't be close to providing for decades - in some cases ever." Our CEO Anthony Jules sat with Pam Simon, Conference Chair & EVP of Manifest: The Future of Supply Chain & Logistics to discuss what it's like building a human-focused robot from the ground up and how Carter™ is uniquely positioned to drive results and a different kind of automation mentality heading into 2025. February is right around the corner, and we can't wait to see everyone at Manifest! Link to the full conversation in the comments 💡
