Automation – Innovation – Sustainability

Imagine a supply chain, a warehouse management system or a production process without identification and data capture technologies. That would take us decades back in time. AIDC represents a broad range of technologies with specific characteristics, challenges and opportunities to speed up processes and reduce costly human errors.
