While many auto executives (42%) expect more industry recalls in 2016, just 8% use advanced predictive analytics to help prevent, prepare for, and manage recalls, according to a recent online poll from Deloitte. Nearly one-quarter (23%) have no operational product safety and recall anticipatory analytic capabilities.

According to Ed Brown, founder of Topper Industrial which services many of the top tier automotive companies and their suppliers migrate to a fork truck free environment, "Traditional fork truck delivery encourages batch delivery of large amounts of inventory or parts to an area for assembly or building.
