According to Gartner, recent statistics highlight a modest alignment increase from 40% in 2019 to 41-44% today, with high-performing organisations reaching up to 71%.

Maintaining visibility is increasingly challenging as raw materials and goods move through a supply chain. Fragmentation, silos, and data deserts have persisted within many industries, hindering the seamless flow of data and insights.

In a recent episode with Femme Lead Podcast, Alexandra Ciobotaru had the pleasure of diving into the world of innovation and robotics with Oana Jinga, Co-founder and Chief Commercial Officer of Dexory, a pioneering robotics and data company based in Central London.

High-performance and high-quality supply chains thrive on a deep understanding of the flow of raw materials and goods. Visibility is at the core of this concept.

There are over tens of thousands of goods stored in a typical warehouse, with thousands moving in and out every day. Keeping track of this rapidly changing warehouse operation whilst utilising all the available storage space is extremely challenging and can often lead to errors, inefficiencies and extra costs.

It’s no secret that with the implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies, supply chains are becoming more efficient, resilient, and responsive. This transformation enables workers to shift their focus from repetitive and tedious tasks to more strategic and value-added activities.

As the majority of companies increase their investment in supply chain resilience, it’s vital to consider the impact of each dollar put to work. Visibility has a crucial role in enabling resilience. With only 6% of logistics companies claiming full visibility over their operations, the industry has significant scope for quick wins and strategic solutions to support better outcomes.

Robotics and automation warehouse initiatives offer a compelling solution to streamline operations, enhance productivity, and drive cost savings. However, we know that gaining approval for such initiatives requires a strategic approach and a clear understanding of the value proposition they present.

For many businesses, the key to maximising efficiency lies in automation. However, transitioning a brownfield warehouse, one that is already in operation, to an automated system can be a daunting task. With the right strategy and approach, it can be a seamless and rewarding process.
