Temp agencies have a peak season too. And their peak season is your peak season.
When order volume spikes in Q4, every warehouse in your market is calling the same staffing firms, competing for the same workers, paying the same rate premiums. You get what’s left. Sometimes that’s enough. Often it isn’t.
The labor shortage in warehouse and fulfillment isn’t a short-term disruption. It’s a structural condition. The available workforce for repetitive manual picking roles is shrinking while order volume and customer expectations keep rising. Overtime is expensive. Turnover resets the clock on training. And no-shows don’t warn you in advance.
Robotic piece picking doesn’t call in sick. It doesn’t leave after 90 days for a different warehouse down the street. It runs the same throughput on shift one as it does on shift six.
CMES AI Robotics piece picking systems run at 650 picks per hour on mixed SKUs, with 99.9% accuracy. That output is consistent across days, weeks, and peak seasons. Three robotic automation cells with one monitoring operator replace a headcount that was never reliable to begin with.
The operations that solve their labor problem this year aren’t waiting for staffing markets to improve. They’re removing the dependency.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English.
