Why Robotic Process Automation is perfect for Supply Chain and Logistics

Technology is flooding the freight industry, leveraging apps to streamline singular tasks like load matching, and checking in and paying carriers — tasks that not too long ago were completed manually is now taken over by automation intelligence.

Frankly, it’s more human.

A fast-growing Robotic process automation (RPA) technology that uses machine learning, natural language processing, and artificial intelligence to imitate human behavior and has taken root in the
financial services and hospitality industries is slowly making its way into
logistics.

Let’s now have a peek into what RPA can bring into Logistics.

The benefits of RPA

E-commerce giants like Amazon and Walmart have already deployed robots in their warehouses and fulfillment centers, especially in the wake of current situations. The adoption of Robotics in warehousing and freight has proved to be 40 % more effective and a significant reduction in labor cost.

RPA in supply chain and logistics can bring tangible benefits to the  freight industry

1. Tremendous power and potential to perform tasks with near-zero error rates.
2. Robotics executes mundane tasks in a brief time thereby reduces process cycle time and  increases work efficiency.
3. Increased workforce productivity.
4. Increased revenue generation as a result of spiked sales and customer satisfaction.
5. Robotics may reach where human hands might not.

Looking into the future

RPA can automate various points of the supply chain, including email communications, order processing, and parts of inventory monitoring to reduce the need for constant manual oversight of these activities.Even more, it can be used to identify and improve deficiencies within these operations.

For these reasons, RPA technology can support digital transformation within the global supply chain. As its adoption continues,

RPA will enable businesses to more effectively manage their growing operations and distribution networks on a global scale.
