WERC (Warehousing Education and Research Council) is the association for Logistics professionals. WERC offers resources that help distribution professionals stay at the leading edge including educational events, performance metrics for benchmarking, practical research, expert insights and peer-to-peer knowledge exchange. WERC members are from companies across the gamut whose focus is on warehousing and distribution. Targeted meetings with leading solution providers and unparalleled networking opportunities with high profile industry peers include Seegrid, the leading Robotic Industrial Truck manufacturer worldwide.

Seegrid executives have found that Warehouse and Distribution Centers currently using forklifts, are tired of facility and product damage as well as safety concerns and injuries. Too often there are high maintenance costs and downtime and productivity issues due to forklift operators. Seegrid is a key sponsor and exhibitor at the WERC Conference.
