Kenco launched Automation Guidance, a consulting offering dedicated to helping operations managers upgrade their existing facilities with automated material handling equipment (MHE) assets.
“The reality for most supply chain professionals is that the ‘warehouse of the future’ isn’t new construction – it’s the step-by-step automation of existing facilities, which can be an arduous process when tackled alone,” says Denis Reilly, CEO of Kenco. “Kenco is already known for our robust MHE maintenance and planning solutions, so we’re well positioned to help facility managers not only design an achievable MHE automation strategy, but also execute in the long term.”
Key takeaways:
- Automation Guidance helps supply chain professionals access a complete lifecycle of MHE benefits and help managers envision, execute and maintain upgrades to their existing infrastructure – from forklifts and pallet jacks to conveyors and robotic picking tools, and everything in between.
“For years, customers have pointed to Kenco’s trove of real-world data as one of our key differentiators. It gives us the ability to not only help customers manage their MHE day-to-day, but also counsel them on the best approach to MHE automation for their specific needs,” says Jeff Burns, president of Kenco MHE Solutions. “Executing automation can feel like a Herculean task, but when customers apply our data pool to their project, it’s easier to find the needle in the haystack – the automated MHE tools that will make the biggest difference in their operations.”
