Derek Rickard, Director of Sales, Cimcorp Automation Ltd., commented, “We are excited to bring our insights and experiences to MHI’s members, as well as learn from fellow industry leaders. At Cimcorp, we know that implementing an AS/RS can have a big payout for warehouses and solve some of the biggest challenges in modern distribution—from labor shortages and safety concerns, to SKU proliferation and shrinking storage space, to rising customer demands for faster fulfillment speed. We also know that every organization’s warehousing needs are unique and that successful automation projects require so much more than technology. We bring extensive project management expertise to the table, and can help educate MHI members in best practices to reduce uncertainty, while ensuring safety and quality, during the implementation process.”
