The interviewer is asking this question to find out how familiar you already are with the industry. In your answer, use terminology you learned from researching the company and the job before the interview. Additionally, if applicable, this is also your chance to say that while you don't know much, you are willing to learn and to ask a relevant question.

"Honestly, not much right now, but I'm willing to learn. I spent some time on your website and from there I learned about storage systems, conveyor systems, and automated systems. In the most general sense, it looks like pallets and containers are stored on racks and materials are moved through warehouses with a combination of automated systems and systems where workers actually pick up each item. Many operations seem to be controlled by computers and robotics. Speaking of which, can you tell me more about AS/RS cranes?"
