Dexory is a leading provider of cutting-edge AI and robotics solutions.

Its solutions have been specifically tailored to the warehousing and logistics industries.

Its end-to-end solution, DexoryView, uses fully autonomous mobile robots to offer businesses a real-time visibility platform into their global operations. Dexory introduced DexoryView into two Maersk UK warehouses in June 2023 as it faced multiple challenges across their expanding supply chain and logistics services, as global demand grows and supply chains become more complex. As Maersk’s logistics operations expanded alongside their warehouse footprint across the world, Dexory and Maersk have been leveraging existing technology and collaboratively working on addressing discrepancies in ‘block stack’ inventory through advanced counting and identification methods. Managing inventory in block stacking areas of warehouses poses a significant challenge, primarily because this section of the warehouse is susceptible to frequent changes, lacking a predetermined structure.

Consequently, it tends to be more disorderly, making it difficult to maintain consistency and uniformity. DexoryView provides a real-time view and comprehensive understanding of warehouse inventory and resources, complete with detailed location occupancy information.

This enables rapid identification of inaccuracies and allows for instant cross-checking and validation with the Warehouse Management System (WMS). For more information, go to: www.dexory.com
