Greenwich-headquartered GXO Logistics Inc. (NYSE: GXO) is partnering with California-based robotics developer Dexterity on a pilot program that will use AI-enhanced robotics in a warehouse setting, with the goal of making operations safer and more efficient.
According to the companies, GXO and Dexterity will leverage AI to power the robots with human-like capabilities to depalletize, label and repalletize packages, optimizing the inbound and outbound processes in the warehouse. Because the robots utilize AI, they will require almost no instruction or setup prior to implementation – and they will also be able to self-train while on the job, thus improving their performance with every pick.
“We’re leading the charge on integrating automation into our customers’ supply chains to help them grow and meet their strategic objectives,” said Adrian Stoch, chief automation officer at GXO. “This pilot is especially exciting as it combines advanced robotics with artificial intelligence and machine learning into a practical application to make warehouse operations safer, more productive and more efficient.”
