India, March 6 -- During the pandemic, the supply chain sector suffered from labor shortages, greater demand, and over-ordering. Managers naturally looked for technological solutions to generate greater productivity and automate the distribution process.

31.52% of supply chain executives adopted robotics that allowed efficient distribution, rapid sorting, and labor assistance.
