| |December, 202119try has realised that warehouses require a combination of efficient automation technologies in order to control their operational logistics costs.Automated Guided Vehicles substitute human labour for addressing challenges regarding processing high vol-ume liquid at scale. Addverb Technologies is an Indian startup which offers a customised dynamo AGV with dif-ferent guidance systems including laser, inertial, wire and magnetic tape. Dynamo requires minimum to no human interference in the execution of loading and unloading of liquid materials.ROBOTIC PROCESS AUTOMATIONRobotic Process Automation (RPA) offers automation of repetitive tasks in liquid logistics without any human er-ror and reduces overhead costs. Liquid logistics companies optimize software robotic processes in order to deliver insights and analytics for process improvement. Also, col-laborative robots are used to work with human workers, offer assistance and enhance productivity in logistics op-erations. These robots fill the liquid containers in a brief span while eliminating potential human errors.Many startups are working to create various collabo-rative robots to facilitate supply chain processes. These robots are capable to facilitate a wide range of flexibility and movement that mimic the human arm. Additionally, these robots assist human workers in picking and placing the small liquid containers, palletizing and packaging op-erations.EXPECTATIONS FROM FUTUREWith the continuously increasing customer expectations and as the interests shift towards product variety and personalised services, the Indian liquid logistics industry is focusing to ramp up capacities, improve customer cen-tricity and fast track deployment of new technologies. It will enable liquid logistics industry to cater to prospects of growing demand in end user industries. Technology is changing the landscape of the sector globally at a very fast rate. Industry is thinking to increase the use of robots as it helps to reduce the risk of exposure and downtime, thereby increasing efficiency. Similarly, use of IoT and software can inform operators if a tank is being heated or blended, what pumps are being used and more.
