LSI provides complete systems integration and upgrade/migration services to the logistics and package handling industry.
Logistic companies play an ever-increasing role for businesses and consumers alike, delivering goods during lockdown restrictions, including critical vaccines. Companies require their sortation and distribution facilities to have improved throughput, scanning accuracy, and reliability in their systems to stay competitive. Downtime is unacceptable, and LSI understands what it takes to mitigate the risks of installing new or upgraded controls, performing retrofits or expansions.
