The speed of technology over the last century has been incredible, so it's hard to believe that in 1908 the head of the London Patent Office almost opposed all future technological progress. The proposal was to shut the Patent Office down as all the important inventions had already been made! In that year the key innovators were led by Henry Ford who launched his Model T and the Wright brothers successfully trialled a motorised plane. What would this gentleman have said 100 years later if he'd experienced the amazing technological developments that we now all take for granted?
As a distributor, technology is the lifeblood of the business. We wouldn't function without it. And we can't sit on our laurels, we must continually research, develop and innovate across all areas of the business, progressing our systems to keep pace with the ever-increasing demands of the market.
Technology underpins product at the development stage through the use of computer-aided design where thanks to modern simulation software virtual prototypes can be checked prior to production, saving time and money.
Logistically warehouses must operate a virtually paperless system with all procedures revolutionised through technological advances in distribution systems.
Computer technology allows customers to place orders directly into sales order systems in real time for instant stock allocation and delivery dates. A bank of product and technical information should be accessible at the click of a mouse.
Intelligent technologies have revolutionised the kitchen industry so everyone in the supply chain stands to benefit. The challenge that manufacturers and distributors face in the future is to continue to evolve and harness the next generation of technology.
