Shoppers probably don't think much about what happens next when they place online grocery orders. For them, everything is simple: you select the items you need, press a button, and the courier delivers all the purchases to your doorstep. In reality, it sets off an intricate process of interaction between software, artificial intelligence, robots, vans, and workers. In the early days of online shopping, when you placed an order, humans would dash around a warehouse or a store collecting your items. But for years now, companies such as Ocado, Asda, and Walmart have been using robots to collect and distribute products, bringing them to staff, who pack them into boxes for delivery. For example, the Luton warehouse has 44 robotic arms, which account for 15% of the products that flow through the facility. The rest are handled by staff at picking stations. Ocado expects the robots to account for 70% of the products in two or three years. Does this mean we are heading to human-free warehouses that can run 24 hours a day? Yes and no. Still, implementing this technology will be too expensive for small and medium-sized businesses. However, corporate giants can take advantage of this opportunity and start benefiting from it now.

🚨 BREAKING: Dexory got $80 million in a Series B funding round! They offer inventory and warehouse management solutions, so creating a digital twin of your warehouse. Dexory provides real-time visibility into inventory and operations through stock-scanning robots and analytics, allowing users to monitor up to 12,000 locations per hour with 99.9% accuracy. Fully autonomous robots navigate the warehouse and scan inventory to collect data. This data is continuously fed into Dexory's system, creating an accurate, real-time 'digital twin' of your warehouse and inventory. Analyzing data helps them identify bottlenecks, boost productivity, and accurately predict demand, stock, and capacity. 📈 They already partner with big players like DB Schenker, A.P. Moller - Maersk (in the video), GXO Logistics, Inc., and many more!

Digital Twins can save a ton of money in the long run. There is no better way to perform analyses on those “what if” scenarios.

Amazing example of using Robotics to capture data to create a digital twin of giant physical warehouses for stock tracking and inventory management. Data Collection is essential for any system to function, and this greatly saves manpower in doing stock taking and improving accuracy. Not just that, the robots are also trained to avoid human's within the floor space. So the idea of robots and humans working together introduces a workplace friendly environment to "get things done". #automation #robotics #dataanalytics #artificialintelligence #logistics
