Ocado deliveries

Supply chains and home deliveries involve a great logistical juggling act. I have previously written on the nature of this work, and how it can impact on cities and am working on something in that area currently, which will be out later in the year.

An RGS-IBG lecture on Monday the 13th of January explored the connections between food and geography / spatial analysis. I am looking forward to this appearing on the RGS website so that I can view it (as a Fellow I have access to past lectures in this format - one of the benefits of RGS fellowship)

Raconteur special edition on supply chains.

OCADO Technology looks very impressive in the warehouse in this film here.



I also came across this article giving an alternative perspective on the impact of OCADO deliveries, with a group of residents saying 'NOCADO' to a distribution hub close to a primary school.

One to follow up and consider, as it links with some of the ideas we will be developing for our D3 ERASMUS toolkit for teachers.
