This doctoral thesis generates new perspectives on the warehouse of the future. Specifically, it develops a research agenda for human-machine interactions in warehousing including behavioral issues, theoretical foundations and unifying themes. One of those issues, that is mental impoverishment and stagnating system performance, is tackled utilizing an intervention-based research approach. Finally, a novel mathematical optimization model is introduced and formalized to shed light into the order picking solution selection and assignment problem.
