Increased use of technology is changing the way businesses operate. At Crown Equipment, New Bremen, Ohio, we are always monitoring new technologies and evaluating how their adoption impacts refrigerated warehouses and distribution centers. More specifically, we’re thinking about the evolving work experience for warehouse managers and forklift operators created by the opportunities of new technologies. And, as a forklift provider to the refrigerated warehouse segment, Crown knows that forklifts and associated technologies operating in cold storage environments must be designed and built for increased durability to perform in harsh conditions.
Regardless of environment, the forklift—and warehouse as a whole—is becoming more connected. The everyday experience of operators and warehouse managers will be drastically impacted as they learn how data can be captured by forklifts, how to effectively use data to support decision making and how to be informed by and engaged with their equipment.
