Recent Publications

Occasionally, we publish technical articles online. Here is a selection.

• Most Companies Don’t Solve Problems. They Shop for Tools.
  Many warehouse improvement efforts start in the wrong place. Instead of defining the actual problem, companies often jump straight to automation tools and end up treating symptoms rather than causes. This article explains why structured problem solving, root-cause thinking, and a clearer distinction between data, information, decisions, and interventions matter so much in warehouse operations.
• On Technology Engineering vs. Systems Engineering
  Logistics engineering is systems engineering. Let us put systems engineering into perspective. We talk about systems, we talk about technology, we call certain pieces of technology “a system” — for instance, a computer — and sometimes we call certain systems “technology.” And we frequently deal with systems of systems. A factory, an automated warehouse, or… Read more: On Technology Engineering vs. Systems Engineering
• Between Picnic and Phone Orders: The Strange State of Online Grocery
  Over the past ten years, online grocery has developed into my home turf. Ten years ago, online grocery was a relatively obscur industry. People knew, or assumed, it existed, but the vast majority of people had never tried it, let alone was using it on a regular basis. It was the time when companies like… Read more: Between Picnic and Phone Orders: The Strange State of Online Grocery
• Mobile Picking Robots: The Rationale and Pitfalls
  Mobile picking robots are increasingly marketed as a flexible automation solution. But they often automate inefficiency at a high cost. Here’s a critical analysis.
• The End of Spare Parts Logistics as We Know It. And Nobody Talks About It.
  Management Summary Additive Manufacturing (AM), often referred to as 3D printing, has long been hyped as a revolutionary technology in manufacturing. But I claim its transformative potential in spare parts logistics is not properly understood. Unlike past innovations in logistics, which improved existing systems, AM changes the very logic those systems are based on. It… Read more: The End of Spare Parts Logistics as We Know It. And Nobody Talks About It.
• Automation Won’t Solve Your Problems
  This post explains why so many warehouse automation problems, and poor financial performance of automation projects, have little to do with the technology itself—and everything to do with poor process, bloated inventory, and lack of root-cause analysis. A couple of years ago, I visited the warehouse of a regional logistics operator. A well-known automation company… Read more: Automation Won’t Solve Your Problems
• The Warehouse Engineering Podcast #8: Innovation, Attabotics, and more
  In this episode of The Warehouse Engineering Podcast, I discuss expensive conveyors, innovation and pseudo-innovation, the recent bankruptcy of Attabotics, and 6 River Systems—and why I’m not like your grandpa. This episode stems from a recent frustration I had with the pricing of simple bin conveyors. These days, the cost of conveyors is nothing short… Read more: The Warehouse Engineering Podcast #8: Innovation, Attabotics, and more
• The Warehouse Engineering Podcast #7: The Risk of Large Projects
  One of the earliest texts I published here dates back to 2019 and is titled The Risk of Large Projects. In it, I argued that large-scale automation projects are inherently risky and often fail to deliver the expected returns—and I explored the underlying reasons why. I recently revised and updated the text, and have now… Read more: The Warehouse Engineering Podcast #7: The Risk of Large Projects
• The Warehouse Engineering Podcast #6: Ole-Erik Endrerud (Shoreline Wind)
  Welcome back to another episode of the Warehouse Engineering Podcast! I usually focus on warehouse engineering and automation, so this episode marks a departure from my usual topics. Ole-Erik is an entrepreneur in the offshore wind sector, and we were fellow PhD students at the University of Stavanger—where his entrepreneurial journey began. In our conversation,… Read more: The Warehouse Engineering Podcast #6: Ole-Erik Endrerud (Shoreline Wind)
• New eBook on ABC Analysis in Warehouse Logistics
  There are topics and tools that everyone knows. Everyone has used them or been confronted with them; they are familiar and considered important, but receive no special attention beyond that. In logistics, ABC analysis is one of these topics. It is known and associated with the Pareto principle or the “80/20 approach”, and there are… Read more: New eBook on ABC Analysis in Warehouse Logistics
