Starting an AI project is Simpler Than You Think
-
Artificial Intelligence (AI) will be transforming the landscape of future distribution centers and warehouses. These controlled environments offer the perfect setting to experiment with cutting-edge technologies like robots and AMRs.
The application of AI in logistics is slowly gaining momentum, with a recent industry survey highlighting its growing adoption. Several large companies such as Amazon and Walmart have been using various AI tools for several years to optimize their supply chain.
However, challenges such as cost, complexity, and a lack of understanding regarding AI's potential are hindering further investments in this field. In reality, AI can significantly simplify and economize warehouse optimization without the need for massive investments in data science departments. Here are five compelling AI applications for your initial warehouse project.
AI solutions have the potential to reduce costs and minimize the manual engineering efforts required for various warehouse optimization tasks, from slotting to labor management. Importantly, these AI-based solutions do not necessitate the development of extensive in-house AI expertise. With AI's promising capabilities, the future of warehouse optimization looks brighter than ever.
-
Imagine orchestrating a seamless dance between humans and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) in the order-picking process. AI-based execution systems can optimize the schedules of both robots and human pickers. These systems leverage machine learning algorithms to predict the locations of robots and pickers at any given time, ensuring efficient coordination and task sequencing. Moreover, they offer flexible communication tools for directing workers independently of the AMRs, using wearable mobile devices instead of robot-mounted tablets.
-
Traditional labor management systems based on Engineered Labor Standards (ELS) have been a staple for years. AI can revolutionize performance management by automating data collection, eliminating labor-intensive processes. Learning algorithms predict task completion times based on real-world performance data, incorporating various variables such as work type, location, product, and quantity. This predictive accuracy allows for continuous adjustments when operational changes occur.
-
Warehouse employees often spend a significant portion of their day traveling within the facility. AI steps in where automation alone falls short, utilizing vast datasets to learn and reduce travel inefficiencies. It achieves this through intelligent order batching and pick sequencing, considering factors like congestion areas and slow-moving routes. AI-driven travel optimization has shown impressive productivity gains, even reaching up to 2x in piece-picking applications and 20-30% in case-pick to pallet operations.
-
Efficient labor allocation is crucial to meeting order deadlines while avoiding overstaffing or understaffing issues. Many DCs currently rely on supervisors' experience and skills to make real-time allocation decisions. AI-driven solutions offer predictive capabilities for labor requirements and task completion times. They can simulate different scenarios to determine the most efficient use of labor, preventing delays and ensuring optimal workforce utilization.
-
Proper product slotting significantly impacts labor productivity, throughput, and accuracy in warehouses. However, this task is complex due to numerous factors and a multitude of products and locations to consider. Traditional slotting solutions demand extensive engineering, measurement, and data collection efforts. AI simplifies this process by learning spatial characteristics and travel time predictions based on real-time data captured within the DC. This adaptable model continually optimizes product placements as conditions change.
-
AI solutions have the potential to reduce costs and minimize the manual engineering efforts required for various warehouse optimization tasks, from slotting to labor management. Importantly, these AI-based solutions do not necessitate the development of extensive in-house AI expertise. With AI's promising capabilities, the future of warehouse optimization looks brighter than ever.

Understanding the key building blocks to successful automation projects
Nothing is black and white when it comes to automation and digital transformation projects.
Automation software is highly complex and needs to be written ‘elegantly to allow for highly dynamic and flexible warehouse environments.
Most customers want to select their hardware vendors’ solution first. Customers will usually then ‘embrace’ the software platform the automation vendors propose without any thorough research. The claim from the automation hardware vendors is that “our software is best ‘tailored’ to our hardware and is most optimal for ‘scaling’ into the future”.
How to avoid your automation project from becoming a money pit?
There are no easy answers.
In our extensive experience most automation projects ‘underachieve’ and underperform in productivity, flexibility, and various associated costs. Why is this? Here are some possible answers:
Software takes a ‘back seat’ until the late stages of a project and is not subject to a thorough review.
Most customers don’t allow enough time and resources to the future specifications of the final design of the warehouse software ‘ecosystem’.
Engineers from various hardware components are challenged to make software work and properly connect all the final hardware components within project timelines.
When purchasing the software solution from the hardware vendors, there is high probability you will not be able to use all the features in some of the systems and more importantly future upgrades will be complex and expensive.
Users are unable to take advantage of all the new features in future upgrades because the different automation vendors do not collaborate with each other and have different agendas for the future.
Select your software partner before buying automation hardware
Customers who select their software partners first before finalizing the automation hardware components are seeing a much higher success rate in their digital transformation automation projects.

WarehouseIQ CoPilot
Introducing our world-class data analytic platform for the modern enterprise with conversational AI (like ChatGPT).
Automated decision-making in the modern-day warehouse is “the process of using software to recommend that a person take an action, or automatically taking it based on the amount of information available to it.
AI is the application of a computer’s ability to recognize a pattern, and machine learning determines whether that pattern generates success or failure.
The system learns with experience, although it can be effective from the very beginning because its algorithms are derived from a rules-based environment. When it confirms that a customer got an order on time and at the best cost, “the next time it sees that same situation, it’s going to reinforce that decision and do it again.
Artificial intelligence and machine learning are key elements in the automation of decision-making, although both have gotten “a bad rap” because most people can’t visualize anything concrete when they come up for discussion,
Data flows into the system from multiple points, both inside and outside the warehouse — so much data, in fact, that humans can’t possibly make sense of it. Critical information includes the current state of demand and supply, which orders and tasks need to be completed, the workforce that’s available to do the job, and the natural constraints of the facility.
