Firms hit by Covid-19 embrace automation

Warehouses are increasingly automating their operations due to the pandemic, which is reshaping the way business is done in the post-Covid world.

With the virus triggering a reverse migration of labourers from urban centres and the need for social distancing becoming a necessity, FMCG, e-grocery, e-commerce and pharma industries are heavily investing in automation.

According to industry analysts, the trend will continue for the next 3-5 years.

During the lockdown, Addverb Technologies saw a 300% surge in number of enquiries concerning automation, and was able to increase its order book by 3 times as compared to the pre-Covid levels.
