The future is upon us as automatic systems shift warehouse efficiencies

As the world becomes increasingly digitised, businesses are turning to automation to increase efficiency and productivity in their operations. One area where this is particularly evident is in warehouse management, where the use of robots is becoming increasingly common.

HAI Robotics is one company at the forefront of this trend, offering cutting-edge robotic solutions for order fulfilment and warehouse management. Their robots can handle a variety of tasks, including picking, packing, and transporting goods, and can be programmed to work alongside human employees to increase productivity.

One of the key benefits of using robotics in a warehouse setting is the ability to maximise space utilisation. Robots can navigate narrow aisles and reach high shelves, allowing for more efficient use of vertical space. This, in turn, can lead to increased storage capacity and reduced costs.

However, it’s important to note that while robots are great at performing repetitive tasks and can increase efficiency in a warehouse, they are not a substitute for human employees. Human workers still play a critical role in the supply chain, particularly when it comes to tasks that require decision-making, problem-solving, and creativity.

In this special interview, the Earth.io CEO discusses the critical role of soil carbon in tackling climate change and her mission to reshape the future of sustainable business.

Samantha Jewell, founder and CEO of Urth.io, is on a mission to change the way businesses think about Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles, particularly in the area of soil carbon stewardship.

In a recent on Ticker News, Jewell underscored the importance of reducing carbon emissions and the critical role businesses can play in addressing climate change.

One key focus of Urth.io is supporting farmers in creating carbon offsets through responsible soil management.

“Soil carbon is one of the most underappreciated tools we have to combat climate change,” Jewell explained.

However, she acknowledges the challenges, particularly the complexity of regulations and the need to shift mindsets among both farmers and buyers.

Revealing book

Jewell’s book, *Carbon is Not a Dirty Word*, serves as a practical guide for businesses and individuals looking to implement sustainable practices.

“The book is about making sustainability accessible, whether you’re a business leader or a farmer,” she said.

As ESG becomes a central concern for many industries, Jewell believes that education and a commitment to long-term change are essential.
