It is reasonable that further prosperity of such entities are impossible without tracking modern trend and innovative technologies, which are providing the opportunity to rise, develop and stay profitable. Warehouse logistics is an essential part of companies’ activity and takes on a significant part of the costs. Following the main worlds trend and their implementation designed to improve the financial result and quality of services. That’s why this paper is devoted to analysis of the warehousing logistics innovative development and the ways how to reach it, of the most progressive world trends, namely robotics (manipulator robots, palletizer robots, sorting robots, mobile robotic carts, etc., due to whom automation of warehouse operations is carried out), Big Data (as an efficient processing of structured and unstructured huge amounts of analytical data from various sources coming at high speed), electronic data exchange technology – EDI (allows to automate the creation, sending, receiving and processing of any electronic documents and integrate them with existing business applications), drones (automated unmanned aerial vehicles, which can be used in the warehouse to gain access to goods at high altitudes, where other modes of transport will not be able to get), Internet of Things (IoT, which would give the opportunity to maintain communication between sites or premises and to control business processes of the warehouse complex), additive technologies (allows to create the necessary products and various components using 3D-printing technology), etc. Moreover, it is not only given the general characteristic of each type of innovative ways of developments, but also presented the advantages, disadvantages and prospects of using global trends in warehousing infrastructure. It is shown that implementation of modern technological solutions and automation of processes promotes the development of multi-storey warehouses. |
