North Carolina Increased New Distribution Centers Ideal for International Business

Monroe, NC -- (SBWire) -- 01/20/2015 --"North Carolina, and the entire Southeastern United States is quickly becoming the hub of new distribution centers. Many are currently considering automation currently as part of the planning process," according to John Hayes, founder and thought leader of No Risk Automation.

North Carolina has a growing number of shovel-ready sites within 20 miles of the Port of Wilmington. Ideal for international distribution centers, manufacturing facilities or retail distribution centers; the strategic locations available at the North Carolina Ports are perfect for reaching the entire Eastern seaboard and offer improved access to major mid-Atlantic highways and railroads. At-port site selection in North Carolina allows corporations abundant state/regional/local/ports tax incentives and provides access to a skilled and plentiful labor market.

There are certain basic processes that can be evaluated now to avoid the risks of poor automation planning. Too often distribution center planners are fooled by vendor promises. Vendors promise a broad portfolio of automation equipment, software, and service through a network of national, regional and local service centers. These vendors are in the thousands and suggest their automation solution delivers distribution and fulfillment success.

Hayes started the firm to inform and protect automation decision-makers. Hayes noted, "The company also targets large multi-site manufacturing and distribution customers that want to explore automation but does not wish to assign the resources nor has the appropriate resources readily available. The CEO and senior management often provide the leadership in forming an effective relationship with No Risk Automation."
