Smart Warehousing, a national warehousing and fulfillment solutions company, has launched an Innovation Hub in its original headquarters in Edgerton, Kansas. The company positions the move as enabling it to become one of the leading fulfillment players, while also supporting strategic partnerships with warehousing automation companies that will use the Kansas facility to test equipment in real-world scenarios. The Innovation Hub is attached to a 500,000-square-foot warehouse, allowing Smart Warehousing to test and optimize its technology and automation in-house before deploying it to over 34 national warehouse locations.

As we return to a new normal, industrial innovation is accelerating.  A renewed focus on sustainability, the circular economy, and climate change is sparking innovation and powering transformational and technological change throughout the industrial sector. Resilience has been prioritized in the supply chain and throughout production operations.  Digital leaders have now validated their strategies against the real-world challenges brought on by the pandemic, and are accelerating their innovation and transformation initiatives.  Many companies supported ‘connected’ remote and frontline workers far earlier than they anticipated, and will now do more.  Having seen the power of disruptive technologies to transform business operations and competitive strategies, improve resilience, reduce costs, and better serve customers, it’s full speed ahead.
