Technological advances are reshaping the way dental distributors provide service to their customers. These advancements bring unprecedented efficiency and accuracy to the industry. Automation, robotics and sophisticated storage systems streamline distributor operations, ensuring that dental professionals receive the products they need faster and with more precision than ever before.
Revolutionizing Order Fulfillment with Robotics
Cutting-edge robotics enhance efficiency, speed, and accuracy in order fulfillment across various industries. These robots work hand in hand with staff to optimize the picking, packing, and shipping process, reducing errors and expediting deliveries. A few dental distributors have embraced this technology, including Dental City who have integrated 22 advanced robots into their operations to provide the highest level of service.
To further improve logistics, many distribution centers have adopted Vertical Lift Modules (VLMs) – high-tech, floor-to-ceiling automated storage and retrieval systems. In terms of the dental industry, you can think of a VLM as the most organized and efficient vending machine, full of dental supplies. VLMs streamline product selection, reducing delays and mis-shipped products. In addition to their robotics, Dental City utilizes three VLMs to ensure rapid and precise order fulfillment.
The Balance Between Automation and Human Expertise
While automation plays a crucial role in improving distribution, human expertise remains indispensable. Robotics and VLMs minimize the physical strain on employees, allowing them to focus on quality control and customer service. This synergy between technology and human insight ensures that dental professionals receive exceptional service and support consistently.
For example, with these innovative technologies, Dental City believes they have found the perfect balance between automation and human ingenuity to ensure their customers’ supply needs are met with unmatched efficiency. For example, Dental City now makes over 60% more picks in an hour using their robots.
Shaping the Future of Dental Distribution
With the integration of robotics and automation, Dental City is setting new standards in the dental supply industry for logistics and efficiency. Faster deliveries, higher accuracy, and seamless ordering experiences are transforming how dental professionals access the supplies they need. Companies leveraging these innovations, like Dental City, are at the forefront of this shift, ensuring that practices can focus on providing excellent patient care.
The future of dental supply distribution is here, driven by technological advancements that prioritize speed, accuracy, and service excellence.
