A key focus is on Multimodal Warehousing, a concept that integrates various technologies like voice, visual aids and video into the warehousing process. This approach is illustrated by describing how warehouse workers might use wrist-mounted devices, bodycams and headsets to facilitate a more efficient and accurate order picking process.

The emergence of Multimodal Cobots (collaborative robots) is also considered. These cobots are designed to seamlessly integrate into existing warehouse environments, offering scalability and ease of adoption. They allow human workers to concentrate on specific tasks, improving overall efficiency.

This e-book presents these technologies as practical, implementable solutions that are already available, rather than distant futuristic concepts. Through the adoption of adaptable, efficient, and cost-effective warehouse management solutions, these advancements are a realistic future of warehouse technology, suggesting a more practical and immediately beneficial approach to innovation in the sector.
