When I was starting out in the military in the 1980s, we had something called “green machines” – very large computers in suitcase-sized cases that were tough enough to be parachuted out of a C-130. This was how we did logistics in the dirt. It was the cutting edge back then, and it got me thinking about technology and what it might be capable of in the future. I’ve now been in warehousing and distribution for decades, running after pallets, chasing down orders and learning how to turn overstock into success. I’ve seen how logistics technology has evolved. Innovations like advanced AI and robotics make those old green machines look like dinosaurs. This article is part 5 in a series about how distributors can get the most out of today’s tech.
