…takes less than eight seconds to develop post-incident alternative delivery routes. In a third application, DHL Supply Chain uses smart piece-picking robots with put walls. In this application, a robotic arm, rather than an associate, picks items and places them in the selected cubbie. The robot utilizes machine learning to better identify and grasp a wide variety of items, improving the robot’s handling and grasp success rate over time. There may even be opportunity for AI to improve warehouse management systems, says Ha. DHL has developed an internal eCommerce Business Intelligent Suite that uses analytical optimization tools to maximize the…
