New AI Technology for Warehouse Optimization

UK-based robotics and data intelligence company Dexory is introducing a first of its kind, AI-powered logistics engine to help warehouses maximize operational efficiency, optimize inventory management, and enhance the overall warehouse agility and responsiveness.

Through its multi-site, digital twin platform, DexoryView, Dexory will now enable warehouse operatives to process millions of precise data sets captured daily across warehouses via its autonomous robots, providing real-time access to insights and predictive analytics that enable businesses to make smarter, faster decisions.

The combination of computer vision, machine learning, NLP (natural language processing) and LLM (large language models) will allow warehouse operators to maximize efficiency across critical drivers such as space utilization, inventory, working time and machinery utilization.

AI-powered applications will transform three key parts of the users’ business:

• Warehouse performance: Implementation of slotting methods, consolidation of stock, space optimization and path planning will maximize warehouse value to enhance revenue and drive cost optimization. Rapid audit and analysis of inventory across reserve, pick and bulk locations will drive operational efficiency by saving thousands of hours yearly.
• Advanced issue detection and response: State of the art image analysis and machine learning models will automatically detect and address issues like damaged stock, fallen inventory and rack infrastructure damage to enhance compliance.
• Environmental monitoring: Sensor fusion across various data sets, including temperature, humidity and gas detection will track and address critical surrounding factors over time to control if goods are stored in the correct conditions.

Global challenges such as the pandemic and geopolitical issues, require businesses to operate highly resilient supply chains. Yet, according to Gartner, 60% of leaders say their supply chains have never been designed for resiliency. Traditional systems have severe limitations on both the volume and frequency of data captured, forcing blind decisions, based on stale or incomplete data, resulting in a growing data gap – the Visibility GapTM. Last year, the global research and advisory firm IHL Group estimated the combined cost of stock mismanagement at $1.77 trillion.
Eliminating this gap helps companies react faster and make fact-based decisions on how to manage supply chain disruptions and where to focus their investments (Accenture).

The new AI functionality unlocks the next level of intelligence in DexoryView. The platform combines the use of autonomous robots to scan warehouses of 1 million sq ft and over 100 000 pallets in a day, providing accurate, instant, real time information on goods and assets across the sites it operates in. Leveraging AI algorithms, alongside the use of enhanced sensors across Dexory’s robots, DexoryView will now power logistics teams with accelerated time to insight and action to make better data-driven informed decisions on operations, expanding outside of inventory – all through one intuitive and interactive cloud platform.

“Traditionally the logistics industry relies heavily on historical data snapshots, making it highly reactive and prone to error,” says Andrei Danescu, CEO and Co-founder at Dexory. “The pandemic started a major shift towards real-time, actionable insights. Our autonomous robots already give an unprecedented level of visibility on inventory within warehouses. Now combined with AI, we’re allowing our customers to enter a new era of efficiency and productivity. Dexory is thrilled to be leading this transformation.”

By addressing critical use cases with cutting-edge technologies, Dexory is helping to propel the industry forward, making supply chains more efficient, agile, and responsive to emerging challenges.

Dexory Robotics and AI into USA

Dexory, a leading provider of cutting-edge AI and robotics solutions announced the first deployment of its robotics and artificial intelligence solution in the United States. Dexory’s technology is now in use at one of DB Schenker’s significant sites in Utah. This follows Dexory’s strategic expansion announcement into the North American market in early February.

In a swift and efficient implementation, Dexory unveiled its cutting-edge DexoryView solution, featuring state-of-the-art autonomous mobile robotics (AMRs) and a seamlessly integrated digital twin. The rapid deployment has resulted in the generation of real-time data points, providing DB Schenker with immediate insights into its operations.

DB Schenker, a global leader in logistics and supply chain management, is to leverage Dexory’s technology to enhance its real-time visibility of stock and occupancy tracking capabilities. With a focus on promoting efficiency and optimizing resource utilisation, the DexoryView solution scans the Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) area of the site, covering a staggering 40,000 pallet locations daily.

Leveraging advanced computer vision and AI, DexoryView provides clear, visual insights for every shelf and height level. This eliminates the need for manually checking discrepancies and ensures important operational information is easily accessible. It emphasizes priority actions, helping to make operations more efficient.

Daniel Spencer, Director – Solutions & Engineering at DB Schenker Americas comments “We are excited to introduce Dexory’s promising technology in our warehouses. The deployment of Dexory’s robotics and AI solution underscores our dedication to staying at the forefront of technological advancements and highlights our pursuit of operational excellence.”

Digital Twin

The collaboration between Dexory and DB Schenker teams has been instrumental in ensuring a comprehensive success of the integration and utilization of the DexoryView solution. Working in tandem, both teams are committed to maximizing the potential of the collected data, enabling the effective deployment of robotics and AI in the logistics and supply chain industry.

“This live deployment signifies a major step forward in Dexory’s mission to revolutionise how businesses approach logistics and operational efficiency. The progress achieved with DB Schenker serves as a testament to the power of innovative technology in transforming traditional practices, ushering in a new era of precision, speed, and insight in the world of logistics”, says Oana Jinga, Chief Commercial & Product Officer at Dexory.

Dexory looks forward to further collaborations and deployments that will continue to redefine industry standards and drive operational excellence. To find out more for yourself, Dexory will be exhibiting at MODEX in Atlanta from March 11-14 alongside representatives of DB Schenker at booth #B708.
