Some warehouses beginning to use gamification to incentivize workers<\/strong><\/p>\n

Companies like Amazon and Kenco Logistics have been using gamification techniques in their warehouses in an attempt to increase productivity<\/a> and employee engagement. They use data systems with game-like elements, including rewards, to incentivize worker competition and track their performance.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome employees reportedly enjoy the distractions provided by playing games during a day of repetitive tasks.\u00a0But employee advocates fear the big-brother-is-watching aspect, turning humans into automatons driven by rewards and penalties that could lead to injuries and burnout.\u201d<\/p>\n

Supply chain 4.0 \u2013 the digitization of supply chain logistics <\/strong><\/p>\n

According to SDC Executive supply chain logistics have reached a new age<\/a> where all decisions are driven by technological advancements and customer experience. Big data, robotics, analytics, and automation will all play an important role in the shift towards customer convenience. Speed and efficiency have become the new normal, with customers expecting short delivery times and the ease of digital transactions. Three key components of supply chain 4.0 are \u2013 automation, analytics, and integration.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe product is no longer an island unto itself. How you get the product matters, and that puts the supply chain front and center. The solution is framed by fast, effective data coupled with personalized, quick delivery. As sensors, monitors and smart devices proliferate and robust data sets are matched with machine learning and AI, we will move further inside the consumer\u2019s mind to meet their needs and desires.\u201d<\/p>\n
