While a discussion of ASRS solutions vs. sustainability focus on improved energy and operational efficiencies, Mike Kotecki at Dematic points to the human element of sustainability. "An often overlooked component in automation is the human perspective and using people to their fullest potential while allowing them to achieve personal satisfaction in their work is an element of sustainability. Having people working on fork lifts in a freezer environment is not a good use of human resources; you can have them do order fulfillment or something more important in a safer environment. Allowing people to engage in more cerebral activities requiring more decision-making and performing higher levels of customer service is another side to the sustainability conversation."
