Over the past year, the company has increased the salaries of employees by 55%, which entailed additional costs. Moreover, the systemic problem of improving industrial floor transport at the IC warehouse in the city of Tula entails a lack of development in the speed and productivity of pallet handling. The issue of introducing robotic and automated solutions is becoming increasingly relevant, therefore, in order not to lose competitiveness, enterprises must implement tools that will allow them to get higher productivity.
