Warehouse automation is moving quickly from a specialized investment to a core component of modern distribution strategy. Automated storage and retrieval systems, or AS/RS, are increasingly central to that transition, helping companies increase storage density, improve throughput, reduce manual travel, and make better use of increasingly expensive warehouse space.
In this Logistics Viewpoints video, recorded in Orlando, we discuss the evolution of automated storage and retrieval systems and what these technologies mean for warehouse and distribution operations.
The conversation looks beyond the equipment itself. As warehouses become more automated, companies increasingly need to think about how storage, material movement, software, labor, and broader fulfillment processes operate as an integrated system.
For supply chain leaders evaluating warehouse automation, AS/RS is becoming part of a much larger question: what should the warehouse of the next decade look like, and where does automation create the greatest operational value?

AI Is Reshaping Supply Chain Execution. Here’s What Comes Next.
Two ARC Advisory Group white papers on the next stage of AI in supply chain operations.
AI is moving beyond isolated copilots and technical architecture into coordinated operational decision systems. This ARC Advisory Group white paper explains how supply chain AI is shifting from capability to execution, where context, governance, workflows, thresholds, and action pathways determine whether AI improves real decisions across planning, logistics, sourcing, fulfillment, and risk management.
