Why is the Demand for Intralogistics Rising So Fast?

“Surging Utilization of Automated Storage & Retrieval Systems in Manufacturing Processes”

AS/RS or ASRS, also known as automated storage and retrieval systems, are composed of different systems that can be controlled with the help of a computer. It is an automatic process that allows for the retrieval and placement of loads from fixed storage locations to achieve speed, precision, and accuracy.

AS/RS has many distinct features and makes it an appropriate choice to be used in the manufacturing sector. This system provides many features such as buffer storage can be managed, unused space can be used for proper purposes, reduction in labor costs, and an increase in the efficiency of order picking.

AS/RS increases labor productivity by nearly 80% and saves around 85% of unused floor space. It can increase output efficiency up to 99%. Also, there is large migration of user-generated data. It is considered a vital tool that will increase the operational efficiency of manufacturing sectors. All these factors will enhance the growth of the market over the coming years.

“e-Commerce Industry Fueling High Demand for Intralogistics”

e-Commerce is a booming industry that has the potential to help intralogistics solutions grow. e-Commerce has showcased significant growth globally as demand is driven by increasing connected customers. This industry is booming as its offers products at an affordable price.

• According to the research, the e-Commerce sector in India rose by 7%-8% in 2020.

The intralogistics market has experienced great turbulence over the past few years due to changing end-use markets, including massive B2C volumes in courier, e-Commerce, and express with added penetration of related technology and automation.

Prominent trends in the e-Commerce sector that are shaping the business of intralogistics are zero-defect objectives, seasonal peaks, reduced delivery time, bidirectional flows of commodities, flexible delivery slots, and an increased variety of parcel sizes & weights. As e-Commerce gains new heights, the intralogistics market will also grow in tandem.

How is the Intralogistics Market Being Held Back to a Certain Extent?

“Higher Installation Costs Can Dampen Market Prospects”

The emergence of intralogistics as a vital infrastructure entity for advanced global trade and the fast-paced adoption of digitization across sectors makes this industry the potential target of cybercrimes.

The installation of intralogistics in any sector is a challenging job. The complexity of the process is high and so are the associated costs. The set-up cost involves the designing, planning, and installation of intralogistics. The cost of automated guided vehicles, robots, AS/RS, and sorting systems is higher than expected.

The installation of such superior technological equipment, along with software, hardware, and the rest of the services, leads to high costs, which limits the adaptation of intralogistics to some extent.

Key players should shift their focus such that they overcome all the above challenges. Minimization in the costs of intralogistics will be beneficial not only for the market but also for end users.
