Kardex launches a free Warehouse Automation Roadmap to help leaders assess operations, prioritize investments and scale automation step by step.

WEXFORD, PA, UNITED STATES, July 28, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Kardex, a global leader in intralogistics and automated storage solutions, announced the release of a monumental resource, A Practical Warehouse Automation Roadmap, built to help warehouse leaders move beyond manual processes and build a more scalable operation, one practical step at a time.
The guide comes at a pivotal moment for the industry, as the 2026 Integrated Warehouse Systems Survey Report, conducted by Kardex, revealed that 63% of warehouse operations remain fully manual. Among the organizations that have implemented automation, the vast majority are working with standalone automation technologies, unsure how to expand, integrate, or prioritize future automation investments. Whether organizations are evaluating their first automation system or determining what system to integrate next, the question remains the same: How do I begin? Or where to go next?

Instead of promoting a one-size-fits-all approach, the guide introduces a practical framework focused on helping organizations assess their current operations and build toward mature warehouse operations over time. Built around four automation maturity levels, the roadmap begins with Automation Level Zero, the phase of assessing and stabilizing their current operation. The roadmap then progresses through connected automation strategies before culminating in Automation Level Three, where advanced systems are implemented for long-term operational growth. The result is a roadmap that meets warehouse leaders where they are now while providing a vision for where they can go tomorrow.

For decades, Kardex has helped organizations improve warehouse performance by addressing the operational challenges that matter most. Drawing on that experience alongside insights from warehouse leaders across the industry, A Practical Warehouse Automation Roadmap provides printable assessment worksheets, technology overviews, planning tools, and a structured automation maturity model. Whether a warehouse is at level zero or level three, this roadmap equips leaders with support at every stage of their automation journey.

A Practical Roadmap to Warehouse Automation is available now as a free download from Kardex.
