The Modex show floor is packing with autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) that are focused on moving product: AMRs that move pallets to picking locations, AMRs that move bins of products out of storage locations, AMRs that move single products to packing stations. A new AMR from the U.K.-based company Dexory, however, does something different. 

Equipped sensors, cameras, and LIDAR, the DexoryView AMR scans your distribution center and can make a digital twin, or digital map, of the facility. On subsequent occasions, the AMR can scan your facility again and can provide real-time visibility of your facility that can be checked against your warehouse management system. From that real-time visibility, companies can identify such things as stock that is in the incorrect position or is missing, bar codes that are unreadable, rack that is damaged, and space that is being underutilized. The robot has the ability to scan 10,000 pallets in an hour, meaning it can eliminate the need for annual or quarterly cycle counting.


Dexory recently announced its first U.S. installation at one of third-party logistics provider (3PL) DB Schenker’s warehousing facilities in Utah. 

DexoryVisoin is also up for one of MHI’s annual Innvoation Awards. (Dexory, www.dexory.com/)

Supply chains continue to deal with a growing volume of returns following the holiday peak season, and 2024 was no exception. Recent survey data from product information management technology company Akeneo showed that 65% of shoppers made holiday returns this year, with most reporting that their experience played a large role in their reason for doing so.

The survey—which included information from more than 1,000 U.S. consumers gathered in January—provides insight into the main reasons consumers return products, generational differences in return and online shopping behaviors, and the steadily growing influence that sustainability has on consumers.

Automation delivers results for high-end designer

When you get the chance to automate your distribution center, take it.

That's exactly what leaders at interior design house Thibaut Design did when they relocated operations from two New Jersey distribution centers (DCs) into a single facility in Charlotte, North Carolina, in 2019. Moving to an "empty shell of a building," as Thibaut's Michael Fechter describes it, was the perfect time to switch from a manual picking system to an automated one—in this case, one that would be driven by voice-directed technology.
