Abstract
This research focuses on exploring the adoption of automation in warehouse practices. Warehouse automation literature mainly investigates the technical side of automation projects. However, this research aims to have a managerial focus on the subject and seeks insights into the human and organisational side of the new technologies. Online semi- structured interviews have been conducted with employees of a global supply chain company which is both a user and a developer of warehouse automation technologies (WATs). This paper discusses the motivations and challenges of WAT adoption. We intend to provide accurate knowledge to businesses to support their automation decision- making processes.
