You have seen the ads. We are looking for motivated tall e commerce pick and pack workers willing to work for minimum wage. It is a good thing that the NBA retires basketball players with many working years left. Or out of science fiction fantasy, this is a genetic engineering conspiracy theory, We are trying to breed 20 ft tall skinny workers that are dumb enough to work for minimum wage. What is really occurring is that a shift in the marketplace toward e-commerce is obsoleting a warehouse designed to store and ship full skids of material. It is less efficient to bring down a skid to collect one part for shipment. This is true even if you already own a fancy lift that can lift. pivot, and stuff
The real estate in a warehouse that is at worker height is like ocean front property. It is in high demand. This is why companies like Amazon build warehouses with lower ceiling height. They find that it is more productive to put their facility dollars into larger footprints and less of their dollars into rebar reinforced concrete floors that high lift fork trucks require. The legacy owners of tall warehouses find that the top shelves of their warehouses are a less efficient match to e-commerce. IKEA is going through that pain now. They keep hoping that tall workers or “My Favorite Martians” will solve the issue of picking eaches from the top shelves.
Competitors to IKEA like HON have adopted the goods to man (Kiva/ Amazon) approach. Portable shelving racks move goods around the facility in Japanese KANBAN fashion. This approach is spreading and is guiding the new product production systems for horizontal material handling equipment builders like Wesley International {Pack Mule)
