The reality of under-automation and manual labour in 2022 | Orderwise
Summary
We now live in a world where automation is a critical aspect of navigating some of the biggest disruptions global supply chains have experienced in years. And whilst automation doesn’t exist to replace humans in the workplace, it has allowed employers to change the type of work their workforce are concentrating on. Imagine a manufacturing company investing in digital technology to manage their clients, resources, product quality and accounts, but are still relying on a manual process to cover some of their most basic warehousing tasks. Combine that with the fallout of Brexit, and you’re left with one of the biggest labour shortages the UK has seen since 1977. Business owners across all industries need to be flexible enough to conquer these new worldwide changes. Ultimately, automation is a key component to navigating the speed and efficiency that 2022 demands and relying on outdated processes is only denying your business the opportunity to thrive.
