With the advancement of innovative technology such as robotics and automation it is very clear that the more standardised you are the easier it is to drive innovation through your operations . We have been putting a lot of effort in the last five years into the standardisation of our backend systems so that all sites are running on the same software and processes , making it much easier to connect robotic platforms and other innovative technologies ,” concludes Voss .
