TRENDS IN WAREHOUSING AND MATERIAL HANDLING SOLUTIONS – PAST

Abstract

Today's world is changing and evolving with incredible speed. The constantly growing population leads to a large number of demand for increasingly diverse products. Since our main goal in logistics is to make the customer satisfied, so in order to do this, it is essential to develop technology. Over the past few years, mainly due to a pandemic, e-commerce has boomed. However, companies need to store the ordered products somewhere, that is, they need warehouses. We have to choose carefully which warehouse is the ideal one for us, since if we do not choose the right one, the final delivery may even be delayed. Although warehousing is of great importance in today's world, no one has summarized, like this paper, how we got to the warehouses we use today. The paper shows from antiquity to the 2000s how the development took place.
