GXO Pilots AI-enhanced Robotics in Warehouse
February 06 2024 - 7:00AM
GXO Logistics, Inc. (NYSE: GXO), the world’s largest
pure-play contract logistics provider, announced today that it is
partnering with California-based robotics developer Dexterity to
pilot AI-enhanced robotics in a warehouse to make operations for a
leading beauty brand safer and more efficient.
“We’re leading the charge on integrating automation into our
customers’ supply chains to help them grow and meet their strategic
objectives,” said Adrian Stoch, Chief Automation Officer, GXO.
“This pilot is especially exciting as it combines advanced robotics
with artificial intelligence and machine learning into a practical
application to make warehouse operations safer, more productive and
more efficient.”
GXO is working with Dexterity, which leverages AI to power
robots with human-like capabilities to depalletize, label and
repalletize packages, optimizing the inbound and outbound processes
in the warehouse. Because these smart robots utilize AI, they
require virtually no instructions or setup prior to implementation,
and they self-train on the job, improving their performance with
every pick. Deploying robotics for these functions increases
operational efficiency and safety, while freeing up team members to
focus on higher-value-add activity.
Samir Menon, Dexterity’s CEO, said, “GXO is at the forefront of
using technology to enable superior operations performance. We are
proud to support them with robots that are smart, fast, and easy
for their team to deploy in their warehouse operations.”
The robots’ adaptability means they can be swiftly deployed into
operations across a range of industries. This adaptive technology
is highly flexible and can be deployed either as a standalone
solution in a previously manual operation or in a highly automated
warehouse, representing the next chapter in supply chain
automation. To see this exciting new technology in action, click
