Developed in partnership with robotics and data analytics company Dexory, the project enables automated inventory reporting at a warehouse in Oosterhout, the Netherlands. Further implementations of the solution are planned in the US and Europe.

‘Customers who entrust GXO with the management of their logistics expect the implementation of state-of-the-art automation to transform warehouse operations and deliver meaningful results,’ said Willem Veekens, GXO’s Managing Director for Belgium, the Netherlands and the Nordics. Dexory allows us to efficiently navigate the complex warehouse environment, providing more accurate inventory control and better customer service. With this solution, we have eliminated manual stock checks and cyclical counting, while increasing the safety of our employees.

Equipped with intelligent cameras and sensors that take detailed 3D scans of the space, labels and barcodes on pallets, packaging or products, the robot moves autonomously around the warehouse, scanning areas up to 13m high at a speed of 10,000 pallets per hour.

Based on the data it collects, the robot creates real-time digital models of stock levels, providing a complete picture of the inventory and ensuring optimisation of available space.

As part of the Operations Incubator programme, GXO works closely with leading developers to test the practical application of new solutions in a warehouse that is a real laboratory.

The aim of this programme is to widely implement new technologies in GXO’s operations, reducing capacity constraints and creating more attractive jobs in GXO’s warehouses.
