Efficiency in warehouse management has become a competitive advantage for companies in a world with the rise of e-commerce, nearshoring, and increasing global competition. Nuevo León, a prominent logistics hub in Mexico, is at the epicenter of this change.
"By 2025, warehouse management systems (WMS) will be key strategic allies for companies," said Alejandro Luna, Country Manager of Infor Mexico, emphasizing their importance in a report on logistics and technology trends. These tools, along with sustainable practices and the integration of artificial intelligence (AI), are driving a new direction for logistics in the region.
Statista's projections indicate that global revenues from third-party logistics will reach $40.25 billion by 2025, and in Mexico, states like Nuevo León are seen as leaders in the adoption of advanced logistics technologies.
Among the trends that will transform the sector are the application of AI for predictive analysis and decision-making on WMS platforms, as well as the implementation of sustainable practices and the adoption of techniques such as advanced packaging and warehouse space optimization to reduce costs and waste.
Advanced workforce management, a crucial process, is being affected by labor shortages, especially in industrial regions like Nuevo León. The use of cloud platforms is enabling the implementation of advanced capabilities at lower costs and with greater agility to adapt to new demands.
Thanks to its strategic location, industrial infrastructure, and innovative capacity, Nuevo León is well-positioned to lead the adoption of these logistics trends. Companies that get ahead of these changes will have advantages against market challenges and the opportunities that a technology-driven future offers.
Warehouse management systems now allow real-time monitoring of employee productivity, dynamic task assignment, and automation of repetitive processes, giving local companies greater competitiveness on a global scale. Meanwhile, robotics, with autonomous mobile robots optimizing routes and processes in distribution centers, is projected as a growing trend.
In summary, logistics is facing unprecedented challenges and opportunities today, where technological innovation is key to competitiveness and success in an ever-evolving business environment.
