[Logprofs] New handbook published: Warehousing 5.0

[Glock, Christoph]

We are happy to announce the publication of our new handbook entitled "Warehousing 5.0 - Managing the transition from techno-focused to human-value-centric intralogistics".

Warehouses are no longer just simple storerooms, but instead central pillars of business success with a strong impact on the efficiency of supply chains. However, warehouse managers continue to struggle with improving operational performance and cutting costs, and in the ongoing transition to smart warehouses, constantly new challenges, such as labor shortages and sustainability requirements, arise. The concept of Warehousing 5.0 guides managers in addressing these challenges by harnessing the benefits of automated and digitally supported warehousing processes enabled by Industry 4.0 technologies. This book summarizes the most recent research results on Warehousing 5.0 and supports managers in successfully transforming their warehousing processes and management concepts.

Written by experts in the field, the book offers a comprehensive thematic perspective of the concept of Warehousing 5.0, with a focus on practical insights and guidance for managers. Key topics covered in this book include:

- Conceptualization of Warehousing 5.0
- Implementing human-centric management concepts in warehousing (e.g., competence requirements, ergonomics, worker safety, error avoidance, inclusion, coaching).
- Managing the various human-technology interactions in warehouses (e.g., pick-by-x systems, digital assistants, chatbots, indoor positioning systems, smart boxes, exoskeletons, drones, eye tracking, automated guided vehicles, autonomous mobile robots, service robots, robotic mobile fulfillment systems).
- Advancing sustainability and decarbonization of warehouses (e.g., social and environmental sustainability, green warehousing, smart lighting systems).
- Achieving resilience and fostering innovation in warehouses (e.g., brownfield planning, digital twin, data compliance, startup management, additive manufacturing, urban warehouses, emerging countries).
