Logistics automation is gaining ground amid cost pressures
Rising labor, energy, and transport costs are pressuring margins in Europe. Logistics is now a strategic priority, and automation is key to efficiency. At Smartlog, we are driving the intralogistics transformation of the sector.
The sustained rise in operating costs is forcing companies to thoroughly review their supply chains. According to Eurostat data, labor costs in the eurozone rose by around 5% year-over-year in 2023, while transportation and energy costs remain high following the inflationary impact of recent years. This scenario has a direct impact on margin structures, particularly in sectors such as retail, food, and manufacturing, where logistics account for a significant portion of the final product cost.
At the same time, logistics has evolved from an exclusively operational function to become a central element of business strategy. Supply chain efficiency is increasingly seen as a driver of competitiveness, growth potential, and resilience in the face of market volatility. This shift in focus is driving greater investment in technology applied to warehouse management and distribution.
