Explore the Latest Warehousing Trends

Innovative Warehousing Trends – Combining hardware, software and connectivity to enhance supply chain performance .

In the increasingly competitive world of logistics, efficiency across supply chains is more vital than ever. 

Boosting the sector, great strides have been made across hardware, software and connectivity technologies. These not only increase the productivity of warehouse operations but also make working environments safer and reduce costs. 

This Knowledge Base article will focus on some of the key technologies that supply chains need to adopt in 2025 and provide useful insights for businesses looking to increase order output, fulfil contracts and improve customer satisfaction levels. 

We’ll also look at Renovotec and Honeywell’s industry-leading integrated solutions and how they can improve productivity and efficiency across warehousing, logistics, and manufacturing. 

Renovotec & Honeywell will also be demonstrating these solutions at ICON in Nashville (4^th-7^th May).

Voice Tech – Keeping Your Team Focused 

Recent innovations in voice technology and mobile hardware have opened the door to a wealth of opportunities to reduce costs and boost order fulfilment. 

Voice technology can improve warehouse efficiency, using hands-free hardware to allow operators to complete tasks without the need to manually check inventories. This helps to reduce errors whilst improving performance.  

Another key feature warehouse managers love is voice-guided instructions. This technology helps to reduce onboarding time, whilst multilingual support improves accessibility and helps to overcome language barriers.  

There are also benefits for stocktaking and reverse logistics, with voice tech helping improve accuracy and reduce waste. 

 Advanced voice solutions (including those from Honeywell) are also known to improve safety, with the hands-free hardware reducing the risk of distractions from screens.   

Designed for comfort and ease of use, voice technology is a must-have in the modern world of logistics based on efficiency, safety and accuracy. 

Improved Barcode Scanning & Mobile Technology 

Improvements in barcode scanning and mobile tech are continuing to improve efficiency in warehouse operations.  

The latest (like Honeywell’s CK67 Rugged Mobile Computer) offer faster, longer-range scanning and more precise data capture. This latest generation of scanners helps to reduce manual effort whilst improving accuracy.   

Integrating with warehouse management systems (WMS), devices like these also provide real-time inventory updates for greater visibility and operational control.  

With 5G and Wi-Fi 6E connectivity (see below), mobile scanning and computing is helping to keep the industry a step ahead in meeting the exacting demands of clients. 

Latest Wi-Fi and Advanced Connectivity 

Connectivity is obviously a lynchpin of a well-organised and efficient warehouse, so it needs to be reliable and fast. 

Devices equipped with Wi-Fi 6E and 5G are largely protected against connectivity drop-outs, helping to keep things moving and improve integration with warehouse management systems (WMS), keeping inventory and order processing updated in real time. 

Improved network technology also supports multiple devices simultaneously, preventing slowdowns in high-demand environments.  

Whether on foot or using vehicle-mounted computers, consistent connectivity enhances worker productivity, optimises automation and strengthens overall supply chain performance.  

Advanced connectivity is the backbone of efficient, scalable and future-ready warehouse operations. 

The Benefits: Accurate, Efficient, Safe & Scalable 

Precise data capture is critical for warehouse operations. Modern barcode scanning and voice technology helps to minimise errors and ensure synchronised inventory updates, whilst integration with your WMS improves order accuracy, optimising stock control and fulfilment rates. 

Hands-free voice technology and fast, longer-range barcode scanning are proven to boost productivity. Workers can complete tasks much quicker and with less manual effort. Wi-Fi 6E and 5G connectivity helps to avoid data blackspots and keeps operations online across the entire site. 

Voice solutions are helping to improve worker safety by allowing them to focus on their surroundings, rather than looking at a screen. This helps to reduce the risk of accidents in warehouse environments. The advanced connectivity again helps to minimise unnecessary movement, keeping workers efficiently and safely positioned. 

Scalability is a crucial advantage of modern warehouse technology. Honeywell’s mobile computing and voice solutions are designed to adapt and scale with evolving business needs. Whether increasing warehouse size, workforce or demand, these technologies support continuous improvements in efficiency and productivity. Using the latest connectivity tech, businesses can also add devices without compromising performance.  

With straightforward integration with existing systems, Renovotec and Honeywell can also help you to scale up without overhauling infrastructure. This flexibility ensures that your technology investment remains relevant and effective, even as your operations evolve.
