Technology is the Future for The DOD

It has become a new wave of electronics and DoD contracting equipment for warfare in the U.S. military. The Pentagon wants to implement advanced electronic technology that may hold up on the battlefield for a generation or more. As amazing as that sounds, electronics and other advanced technologies are capable of giving the military that type of edge.

Weapons Types

Some of the weapons that are ready for production or that are being made as prototypes are naval rail guns, which use electromagnetic energy to fire projectiles at 5 times the speed of sound; drone swarms that will break apart like a flock of birds and attack en mass; Iron Man type suits that will aid the soldier on the field; and LASER beam weapons made for land, sea and air deployments.

The Private Sector

For the most part, many of these weapons are being developed by the private sector and not by regular military contractors. This “outside of the box” thinking is allowing little known advances in such technology areas as fiber materials, artificial intelligence, software, and diverse equipment such as robotic-controlled ships, helicopters and planes.

Of course, with every new advancement in technology, regardless of what it is, equipment will be needed to move it around warehouses and other spaces, and that’s exactly where the movement solutions from DJ Products will shine.

The Future of Material Handling Innovation

Grand View Research in San Francisco has detailed the outlook for a wide variety of equipment and projects a global market of more than $208 billion in 2020.

The in-depth forecast for material handling equipment confirms that advanced technology and a growing need for automation and efficiency are driving steady gains in the industry.

The Forecast for Material Handling Equipment

With more businesses using material handling equipment to automate tasks and make human labor more efficient, we’re seeing industry rely more and more on material handling solutions to attain and maximize profitability.

The growing Asia Pacific region has the largest market for such equipment, and it continues to grow. North America and Europe are also seeing growth in the coming years, however.

In warehousing and distribution, material moving products like industrial tugs are growing. Infrastructure projects are also spurring massive sales in excavation, cranes and related equipment.

Highest Growth Seen in Material Handling

Automated material handling systems like industrial tugs and sortation devices are expected to grow more than construction, excavation, and other types of industrial machinery. The report predicts a compound annual growth rate of 5.7% through 2020.

This growth will not surprise anyone who has seen the wide range of uses for today’s material handling equipment. Industrial tugs can be used in industries ranging from warehousing to hospitals and hotels.

The latest devices have applications fit for virtually any employee in any industry where inventory, equipment, or raw materials need to be transported or distributed.
