Emerging trends in Material Handling Equipment in the Indian context in Warehouses

Abstract

The primary goal of this study is to look into trends in MHEs in India, particularly in warehouse settings. Descriptive research was done, gathering and analysing quantitative data from stakeholders in Indian warehouses. The study revealed the key challenges in AGV adoption, the status of technological adoption in Indian warehouses and the application of AGVs in warehouses in the country. The study's hypothesis testing demonstrated that AGV awareness and understanding have a substantial impact on their prospects in India. The findings of the second research hypothesis suggest that the location of AGV implementation has no major impact on AGV prospects in India. As a result, AGV may be used in any type of project and has a great deal of promise in Indian warehouses. Based on these results, suggestions for practitioners and future scope of research are provided.
