A new personnel crisis is approaching in one of the sectors of the economy in Russia 14:46

Russia’s logistics sector is experiencing a personnel crisis that could slow down the growth of economic activity and the recovery of international trade volumes. writes about this “Kommersant” With reference to a study by the consulting company “Coordination Council for Logistics” (CSL).

According to experts, about a third of companies in this field consider staff shortages a threat to sustainable development.

The main reasons for personnel shortages are the decline in the prestige of the driver profession and the inconsistency of training programs with market demands. Many employers are trying to retain their employees by increasing salaries, but not everyone is ready to join the “salary race”.

For big players, the solution to the problem may be the robotization of logistics processes. According to experts, modern robots are capable of replacing personnel at every stage of warehouse logistics, from handling goods to picking and shipping orders.

However, the implementation of such systems requires serious capital investments – investments in robotization amount to tens and hundreds of millions of rubles with a payback period of 10-15 years. The company states that this is why medium and small companies are still wary of automation.

Logistics giant Gefco stated that robotization technologies are most relevant to warehouse and production logistics; automated picking points, robotic loading/unloading, inventory using drones. Robots can also be used in courier services.

Before launching automated solutions, companies will need to restructure their business processes. Experts warn that robotics is mainly available to large market players, while small and medium-sized businesses must continue to rely on human resources.
