The top three application segments of the global IoT market in warehouse management are discussed below:

Global IoT market in warehouse management by warehouse automation

The automated equipment is used to decrease and sometimes replace the need to handle material physically. Most material handling equipment are only semi-automated because an operator is needed for tasks like loading or unloading and operating the equipment.

According to Sushmit Chakraborty, a lead automation research analyst from Technavio, “The automated order fulfillment system helps operators in discrete order picking, packing, and quality check of products in the warehouse. The automation of packaging operations helps in carton identification, carton erection, automated product placement, and status tracking.”

Global IoT market in warehouse management by workforce management

The automation in labor scheduling helps in allocating the work to employees based on their skills and expertise. This helps in easing operations and improving the efficiency of workers. Similarly, time and work data collection help in capturing and reporting highly detailed data about the use of labor in the warehouse.

“The leave management systems for employees improve the visibility into staffing and liability complications and in allocating work to employees, considering the number of leaves applied. The task and activity management systems provide a comprehensive view of labor management requirements to help with the sophisticated decision making,” says Sushmit.

Global IoT market in warehouse management by inventory management

With the introduction of the IoT, the capability to track and interconnect with products increases. Radio frequency identification (RFID) tags hold more information about an object and can communicate that information to an inventory system. RFID tags can be built into objects that then sends information about the temperature, weather, damage to the object, and traffic.

GPS technologies are also incorporated into products to know the whereabouts of every item precisely. This decreases the number of lost or stolen products, improves the management of stock shortages and overstocks, and identifies inefficiencies.

The top vendors highlighted by Technavio’s research analysts in this report are:

  • Cisco
  • IBM
  • Intel
  • Vantiq
  • Zebra Technologies
