Warehousing Wednesday: Hardware Trends Shaping Warehouse Efficiency
In this episode of Warehousing Wednesday, Mark Lewis is joined by Anthony Mattos of Redline Solutions to explore the critical role of hardware in warehouse operations. While WMS software provides the “brains,” tools like scanners, printers, and RFID readers are the backbone that make it all work.
Anthony highlights major industry trends including:
- The shift from 1D to 2D barcodes for greater data storage and flexibility
- Wearable scanning devices that reduce wasted motion in picking operations
- RFID technology enabling faster, more efficient inventory management
- Growing adoption of voice-directed picking for accuracy and speed
Together, these technologies are helping companies streamline workflows, reduce labor costs, and keep pace with rising supply chain demands.
