…solution combines hardware and software to provide visibility into inventory and operations. Using 12-metre-tall autonomous robots to capture warehouse data and images in real-time, the digital twin technology enables analysis of stock, occupancy and stock movement. The digital twin then offers instant access to the data captured, highlighting any discrepancies with other warehouse systems in a digital format. The analytics extracted address operational bottlenecks, increase efficiencies (allowing for faster put-away and picking) and provide insights into site operations (for real-time occupancy fluctuation, route planning) - all of which used to be manually done before, the company says. Using AI it…
