Supported by insightful case studies, Warehouse Management is a new text which considers many aspects of warehouse management including:

Leading manufacturing journalist, Thomas R. Cutler, hosted a new episodic video series called, "Kanbanversation." Sponsored by, Ultriva by Upland, Cutler exams all aspects of the demand-driven supply chain by interviewing industry experts and thought leaders. Episode 8 of Kanbanversation is titled, "Kanbanversation: Supplier Collaboration."

Thomas R. Cutler, leading manufacturing journalist, will be reporting throughout 2016 that advanced cartonization software delivers enhanced order fulfillment efficiencies and operational cost savings over many of existing solutions. New software solutions include an advanced algorithm to determine the optimal shipping carton size for the greatest packing efficiency and lowest shipping costs. The software also works well as an audit tool to detect discrepancies in planned versus actual dimensions on outbound shipments, a common source of expensive carrier charge backs.

In order to remain as nimble as smaller competitors and as relevant as large ones, middle market companies must leverage the supply chain to create value beyond simple cost management according the manufacturing journalist Thomas R. Cutler. Cutler reports that SME are moving to a value-driven supply chain from a cost-based model with great alacrity.

According to the founder of the Manufacturing Media Consortium, Thomas R. Cutler, one of the more intriguing automation trends of the past few years has been the rapid development and introduction on new robotics technologies. Much of this trend has been driven by the rise of collaborative capabilities—meaning these robots can work alongside humans rather than in secure areas or cages. This trend seems to be gathering enough speed now to affect both collaborative and non-collaborative robotics—as can be seen in the recent introduction of goods to person technologies. MODEX 2016 will be held April 4 – 7, 2016 in Atlanta and as the largest Material Handling event of the year will illustrate these new collaborative trends.
