The logistics sector is undergoing a complete transformation, driven by technological advancements, new consumer demands, and increasing expectations for sustainable practices. 2025 promises to be a year of profound changes in the infrastructure and operation of logistics centers. For Giordania Tavares, CEO of Rayflex, a national reference in the manufacturing of rapid doors in Brazil and Latin America, innovation in the operational base has ceased to be a differentiator and has become a requirement.
According to the reportThe Future of the Last-Mile Ecosystem, by the World Economic ForumAbout 20% of global logistics operations are expected to be automated as early as next year. This trend reflects the need to adapt distribution centers for continuous, agile, and secure workflows, using intelligent technologies.
"A modern logistics center requires from an efficient productive layout to the use of equipment that ensures flow, energy efficiency, and safety in operations," comments Giordania.
Logistics centers require structures that combine technology and versatility. Equipment such as rapid doors not only allow for faster loading and unloading operations but also reduce energy consumption and extend the lifespan of air conditioning systems.
The use of conventional doors, with slow opening or inadequate sealing, facilitates air exchange between conditioned and external areas, significantly increasing the effort and energy consumption of refrigeration systems, as well as compromising the thermal stability of the environment. "The use of shelters and levelers ensures efficient sealing, safety for operators, and load integrity, providing competitive advantages in increasingly demanding markets," concludes the executive.
