of various technologies driving this change. From so ware solu ons to advanced
robo c fulfillment systems, including Autonomous Case-handling Robots (ACR) and
Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR), the key innova on lies in how these elements are
seamlessly integrated.

The real game-changer is how so ware and automa on work together. It is not just
about having cu ng-edge robo cs in your warehouse; it’s about crea ng a seamless

ecosystem that connects everything from so ware orchestra ng opera ons within the
warehouse to ERP systems, last-mile delivery, and passport management systems. This
holis c and integrated approach is revolu onising the industry, driving innova on and
efficiency.

At the end of the day, it is all about crea ng a unified, end-to-end solu on that

enhances efficiency and ensures all the different pieces of the supply chain work
together seamlessly. This is what sets companies apart in the MENA region, making
logis cs opera ons faster, more accurate, and more compe ve.

Logis csGulf.com interviewed Alain Kaddoum, Managing Director, Savoye Middle
East.

Logis csGulf.com (LG): How are automa on and robo cs shaping the future of
warehouse management and distribu on centres, and what key benefits are these
technologies bringing?

Alain Kaddoum (AK): Building on the previous discussion about robo cs and

automa on in warehouses, these technologies offer significant added value beyond
their tradi onal benefits of saving space, increasing accuracy, and speeding up
opera ons. At present, automa on and robo cs are revolu onising the industry
through their adaptability and ability to integrate seamlessly with other systems.

The key focus is on the agility and modularity of solu ons and adop ng technologies

that can adapt, grow, and even be customised over me. For instance, modern
systems can allow flexibility in storage size without the need to change the robot itself.
This agility is crucial for businesses that require their warehouse systems to evolve as
their needs change.

Another major area of innova on is AI integra on into robo cs. In the current
systems, robots operate in a reac ve mode, repea ng pre-programmed ac ons with

precision. However, the future of warehouse management involves smart warehouses
where AI enables robots to make decisions autonomously.
