Ian Abbott

With over 14 years of professional experience in Logistics and Supply Chain, I specialise in the solution development of Warehouse Execution Software for highly complex logistics automation. At Dematic, we optimise warehouse operations with the help of finely tuned algorithms and data analytics. This forms the basis of a large number of smart strategies which we employ in solutions such as waveless order fulfilment, task interleaving, operator move logic, dynamic slotting in ASRS, vision guided robotics, hot zoning, task reallocation etc. I have designed and delivered automated solutions for customers across multiple markets and sectors, particularly: multi-channel order fulfilment; high rate item picking for eCommerce; automated full case palletising; high speed sortation; continuous flow manual pick and order consolidation. I have used skills I have in Mechanical Design Engineering; Data Analysis; Bid / Proposal Management; Project Management; Sales; and Software Development to create and broaden relationships with customers throughout Northern Europe. I continue to find new ways to improve and establish Dematic's position as a global leader in Intralogistics with a Software Centric vision.
