Take a look in your crystal ball … five years from now , what does the warehouse floor at DHL look like and how are robots used ? Already today we are seeing the first examples entering distribution centres . It seems clear that it is not a matter of “ if ” but rather “ when ” robots will be working in our warehouses . The outlook for robotics is very positive and the world of logistics will benefit from the coming advances in robotics technology . Within a generation , workers in warehouses and distribution centres will be able to work side-by-side with robots . With robots taking over the more labour focused , repetitive jobs , workers will be free to concentrate on more challenging and enriching tasks , thereby helping to drive the progression of the industry .
