According to a recent report by DHL, an international delivery service, the majority of warehouses around the globe are still not automated, despite the fact that having modern warehouse operations will be ‘a critical factor for the success of any supply chain-centric business such as eCommerce and retail.’
80% of warehouses are still manually operated with no supporting automation, mechanized warehouses account for only 15% of total warehouses, while only 5% of total current warehouses are automated. In the report, DHL’s experts also note that there are ‘no off-the-shelf solutions in warehouse automation – each system is customized to the individual customer’s business needs.’
And this confirms Aitheon’s own approach to warehouse automation, as we have a range of various solutions for warehouses that are very adaptable to the specific needs and problems of each of our customers in a short time.

Creators Studio, another powerful tool that is a part of the Aitheon Platform, allows you to create unique custom applications for the specific needs of your warehouse operations. For example, in Creators Studio, businesses can design apps to run robots and various machines, to monitor and manage workstations, various kinds of guide and quality control apps for workers on different positions, dashboard apps with real-time data updates and analysis, tools to set tasks for AGV robots, and much, much more. Creators Studio makes it easy to create, change and support the logic of business processes that control software and hardware, with both Full-Code and Graphical / Low-Code Experience versions available.
