About
Ilenia Zennaro’s research lies at the intersection of industrial engineering, logistics, and human factors, with a focus on optimizing manual and automated warehouse systems. Her most-cited work, “Investigating different manual picking workstations for robotized and automated warehouse systems: Trade-offs between ergonomics and productivity aspects” (2023, 13 citations), exemplifies her core contribution: systematically analyzing the critical trade-offs between worker well-being and operational efficiency in modern logistics. By examining how workstation design configurations impact both ergonomic risk and picking throughput, Zennaro provides actionable insights for tactical and strategic decisions in warehouse management. Her research addresses a pivotal gap, as the number and design of picking workstations are among the most consequential choices in automated systems. Through her work, Zennaro bridges engineering optimization with human-centered design, offering evidence-based frameworks that help companies balance productivity gains with worker health. Her findings are particularly relevant as industries increasingly adopt robotized and automated solutions, ensuring that human operators remain central to system performance. With a growing citation record, Zennaro is establishing herself as a key voice in sustainable logistics and ergonomic system design.
