International Warehouse Logistics Association (IWLA) – Your Warehouse Reimagined
In March, Savannah Georgia is home to the second largest St. Patrick’s Day celebration in the United States (after New York); about half a million people attend. This year, it was also home to the IWLA Convention and Expo – with a more select attendance. (Yes, we recognize this as random – perhaps for that reason alone … it’s interesting.) Embracing this, the IWLA convention had a secondary theme of Luck o’ the IWLA – because, really … why not?
Our own Tamas and Lee were at the convention and, as has been the case for the last 6 years, had a very worthwhile time. First, a shout-out to Jay Strother and his team for their work pulling it all together.
This year people were talking about robots as the standout emerging idea. Robots hold a practical place in the future of the warehouse industry … and, let’s be honest … they are just super cool. We had many conversations about robot technology and in particular, with 6 River Systems. Integral Group is about blending people and technology to make EDI and integrations faster, easier, less susceptible to errors and more cost efficient. 6 River Systems applies the same philosophy to warehouse robotics.
