People are able to respond flexibly and process complex and unusual orders.
Automated systems (robots, conveyor belts, warehouse and picking systems) can carry out repetitive tasks quickly and precisely.
Automated systems enable precise and consistent processes with fewer errors.
Human checks can identify and resolve errors in the automated processes.
Combining both methods reduces bottlenecks and shortens cycle times.
Automated systems perform heavy and monotonous tasks, while people carry out more complex tasks.
Hybrid systems are able to adapt better to order volumes and customer requirements.
These systems can scale up or down as needed.
Reduced error rate and enhanced efficiency bring down costs.
Long-term savings help recoup the initial cost of automation.
