Warehouses are no longer just places to store goods. They are dynamic hubs where efficiency and precision are crucial, and we can already see the increase in adoption of warehouse robotics and automation as 77% of organisations are serious about automated warehouse systems and mapping a plan to maximise data-driven performance.

The Dexory Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) scans up to 15,000 locations per hour, capturing over 36 TB of data as it autonomously navigates around a warehouse. This data is a mixture of high-resolution images and 3D point cloud information which is used to analyse the barcodes, size and shape of each pallet in a warehouse.

Traditional manual methods are not only time-consuming but also prone to errors, leading to misplaced goods and unnecessary expenditure.

Though technological changes have happened, the reality is that many warehouses still rely heavily on manual labour, and the level of automation varies widely across different industries and regions of the world.

Larger warehouses present new challenges to warehouse managers, particularly with inventory stock taking and operational visibility. To keep track of the higher volume of goods, warehouses now need to audit more pallets per hour and reach racks that can be up to 14 m tall.

The surge in e-commerce demands, coupled with issues such as high staff turnover, errors, and space constraints, has become a real challenge for warehouse managers. In this blog, we'll explore how integrating warehouse autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and how embracing warehouse robotics can be a game-changer for the industry.

The supply chain industry is often characterised by peak seasons: seasonal spikes during holidays, heightened demand during promotional events, and surges related to industry-specific trends.

Over the last few years, the surge of e-commerce has led to a paradigm shift in supply chain, manufacturing and logistics, which is now one of the fastest growing industries in the world. This has led to an exponential increase in the global volume of goods, all of which require manufacture, warehouse storage and transportation.

On 18 January, Dexory hosted its first own event: Supply Chain Fast Track . Held at the RedBull Racing in Milton Keynes, the team is absolutely thrilled to announce it was a success.
