Redwood City, CA - 25 January 2023 - Dexterity Inc, the leader in intelligent software for full-task warehouse robots, today announced the hiring of Christian Clausen as its Commercial Director of Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA). Mr. Clausen’s hiring marks Dexterity’s move to establish commercial operations in EMEA.

Building on the success of Dexterity’s Japan office, which recently announced a collaboration with Japanese parcel leader Sagawa Express, Mr. Clausen will identify strategic customers that can leverage Dexterity’s AI software to solve the most challenging automation tasks in their warehouse - be it truck loading, mixed case palletizing and depalletizing, or parcel singulation and induction.

“Christian brings a wealth of experience delivering outcomes with cutting-edge technology for customers across EMEA,” said Cary VadenAvond, Dexterity’s Chief Revenue Officer. “We’re thrilled to have him on board Dexterity as we scale our operations in Europe with new customers and partners.”

Mr. Clausen joins Dexterity Inc from Mobile Industrial Robots A/S (MiR), where he served as the VP of Strategic Accounts focused on delivering autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) to logistics and automotive customers. He also had experience leading teams at Nordex GmbH, Dencam, and Skykon.

“EMEA faces many of the same supply chain, warehouse, and parcel delivery gaps as the rest of the world,” said Mr Clausen. “By working with Dexterity’s AI-powered robots EMEA customers will be able to scale operations, reduce injuries, and provide consistent operational throughput like never before.”

Mr. Clausen will be meeting partners and customers at MODEX (Booth A11118) starting on March 11, 2024. For more information visit https://www.dexterity.ai

The industrial real estate market saw a significant increase in leases of “mega distribution centers” measuring 1 million square feet or more in 2024, according to a report from CBRE analyzing last year’s 100 largest industrial & logistics leases.

Occupiers signed leases for 49 such mega distribution centers last year, up from 43 in 2023. However, the 2023 total had marked the first decline in the number of mega distribution center leases, which grew sharply during the pandemic and peaked at 61 in 2022.

How clever is that chatbot?

Oh, you work in logistics, too? Then you’ve probably met my friends Truedi, Lumi, and Roger.

No, you haven’t swapped business cards with those guys or eaten appetizers together at a trade-show social hour. But the chances are good that you’ve had conversations with them. That’s because they’re the online chatbots “employed” by three companies operating in the supply chain arena—TrueCommerce, Blue Yonder, and Truckstop. And there’s more where they came from. A number of other logistics-focused companies—like ChargePoint, Packsize, FedEx, and Inspectorio—have also jumped in the game.

Experts: U.S. companies need strategies to pay costs of Trump tariffs

With the hourglass dwindling before steep tariffs threatened by the new Trump Administration will impose new taxes on U.S. companies importing goods from abroad, organizations need to deploy strategies to handle those spiraling costs.

American companies with far-flung supply chains have been hanging for weeks in a “wait-and-see” situation to learn if they will have to pay increased fees to U.S. Customs and Border Enforcement agents for every container they import from certain nations. After paying those levies, companies face the stark choice of either cutting their own profit margins or passing the increased cost on to U.S. consumers in the form of higher prices.

J.B. Hunt launches solar farm to power its three HQ buildings

Supply chain solution provider J.B. Hunt Transport Services Inc. has launched a large-scale solar facility that will generate enough electricity to offset up to 80% of the power used by its three main corporate campus buildings in Lowell, Arkansas.

The 40-acre solar facility in Gentry, Arkansas, includes nearly 18,000 solar panels and 10,000-plus bi-facial solar modules to capture sunlight, which is then converted to electricity and transmitted to a nearby electric grid for Carroll County Electric. The facility will produce approximately 9.3M kWh annually and utilize net metering, which helps transfer surplus power onto the power grid.
