In conclusion, Dorman’s decision to adopt intelligent intralogistics bots is a great example of how companies can embrace technology to optimize their warehouse operations. By using automation to overcome the challenges of manual forklift operations, Dorman has not only future-proofed its operations but also positioned itself for sustained growth and competitiveness.
