• The Technological Plateau in Warehouse Automation: Where Real Change Happens
  Warehouse automation has been around for many decades. It is a complex and expansive industry that has, in recent years (specifically the last five to ten), been characterized by a surge of innovations — or rather, a lot of “new stuff”, some of which is genuinely innovative, while other is less so. I thought it… Read more: The Technological Plateau in Warehouse Automation: Where Real Change Happens
• Organizational Culture Doesn’t Go Away, So We Better Take Care of It
  Some time ago, I published a text entitled “Remote Work and the Underrated Concept of Organizational Culture”. The point of the article was what the title suggests: I wanted to highlight the importance of organizational culture to business performance and I connected it to the Covid-induced trend of working from home arrangements, which does not… Read more: Organizational Culture Doesn’t Go Away, So We Better Take Care of It
• Takeoff Technologies and the Predictable Demise of the MFC Model
  A few weeks ago, Takeoff Technologies filed for bankruptcy (Douglas Moran 2024). Takeoff Technologies was one of the first, if not the first start-up to coin the term Microfulfillment Center. Perhaps they’ll be rescued, I’d certainly be sorry to see them go and I have lots of respect for them trying to shake up the… Read more: Takeoff Technologies and the Predictable Demise of the MFC Model

• BionicHIVE & SqUID: Is This Going to be a Revolution?
  Making a Dent It is rare for new entrants in an established industry to do something completely novel and different from all the incumbents. In a way, that may be the only way to succeed when the established competitors have all the experience, all the experts and all the expertise, all the infrastructure, all the… Read more: BionicHIVE & SqUID: Is This Going to be a Revolution?
• The Warehouse Engineering Podcast #5: Gili Ovadia of BionicHIVE
  It is not that long ago that friends and colleagues sent me the same video several times a day: A robot drives through the warehouse, then climbs up a seemingly conventional rack and picks up a box. The video went viral in a short amount of time because, on the one hand, it inspired laypeople… Read more: The Warehouse Engineering Podcast #5: Gili Ovadia of BionicHIVE
• LogiMAT 2024 Recap & Gebhardt Instapick
  LogiMAT 2024 is over – and it was great! In this video I summarize some impressions and also say a few words about Instapick, the Gebhardt Group’s new storage system.

• There is no Such Thing as “Sustainable Logistics”
  I would like to say a few words on the subject of “sustainable logistics”. The combination of “sustainability” and “logistics” is quite widespread. Google delivers almost 62,000 hits for the German combination “Nachhaltige Logistik” and around 521,000 for the English equivalent “Sustainable Logistics”. This does not include synonyms such as “green logistics” etc. for both… Read more: There is no Such Thing as “Sustainable Logistics”
