TechFirst podcast: The world's tallest autonomous robot works in a warehouse
The world of logistics is undergoing a massive transformation, and at the forefront of this change is Dexory, a leader in warehouse automation and data intelligence. Recently, Andrei Danescu, CEO and Co-founder of Dexory, joined John Koetsier from the TechFirst podcast for an insightful discussion on the future of AI and robotics in logistics.
The conversation covered everything from the challenges faced by modern warehouses to the cutting-edge technology behind Dexory’s solutions, including the world’s tallest autonomous robot.
Tackling warehouse challenges with AI and robotics
Warehouses today face unprecedented challenges. From the sheer scale of operations to the need for flawless accuracy, the logistics sector is under constant pressure to evolve. Andrei kicked off the discussion by highlighting these challenges and how Dexory’s innovative solutions are designed to meet them head-on.
Dexory’s technology is all about enhancing efficiency and accuracy. Traditional methods of inventory management are often labour-intensive and prone to errors, but Dexory’s AI-driven robots are changing the game. These robots can scan vast warehouse spaces, creating a digital twin that enables real-time monitoring and management of inventory. This not only reduces human error but also significantly speeds up operations.
“Exactly as you mentioned, there are all kinds of errors in the day-to-day operation of a warehouse. The technology we develop works to close and eliminate what we call the "visibility gap." The reason we call it that is because you'd like to know everything going on in the warehouse—every single pallet movement, how much product you have in every single location, and also conditions like temperature, humidity, and how long the goods have been there.” says Andrei.
Meet the world’s tallest autonomous robot
One of the standout moments in the podcast was the introduction of Dexory’s latest innovation: the world’s tallest autonomous robot. Standing tall and equipped with advanced scanning technology, this robot can cover an astonishing one million square feet of warehouse space in a single day, scanning up to 100,000 pallets with pinpoint accuracy.
This isn’t just a feat of engineering; it’s a game-changer for the logistics industry. By creating a digital twin of the entire warehouse, the robot provides an up-to-date, comprehensive view of inventory, enabling businesses to make smarter, data-driven decisions.

A technical deep dive into robot design and functionality
For those interested in the nitty-gritty details, Andrei took a deep dive into the technical aspects of Dexory’s robot. From its sophisticated sensors to its AI-driven decision-making capabilities, the robot is designed to operate autonomously, seamlessly integrating with existing warehouse systems.
The robot’s design is not just about height; it’s about precision and adaptability. It can navigate complex warehouse environments, avoid obstacles, and perform tasks that would be time-consuming and error-prone for human workers. This level of automation is crucial for businesses looking to scale their operations without compromising on quality or speed.
“What's unique about it is that this information is captured and collected daily using autonomous robots. We use the world's tallest autonomous robots to scan the warehouses, recreate the digital twin, process the information, and make this data available to eliminate operational errors.” explains Andrei.
Operational efficiency and AI integration
One of the key themes of the discussion was operational efficiency. Andrei explained how AI integration is at the heart of Dexory’s approach. By leveraging AI, Dexory’s robots can continuously learn and adapt to the unique conditions of each warehouse, improving their performance over time.
This integration extends beyond just the robots themselves. Dexory’s systems are designed to work in harmony with other AI-driven tools, creating a cohesive ecosystem that optimises every aspect of warehouse management. The result is a more efficient, responsive, and reliable operation that can keep pace with the demands of modern logistics.

The future of autonomous systems
Looking to the future, Andrei shared his vision for the continued evolution of autonomous systems in logistics. He emphasised the potential for AI and robotics to revolutionise the industry, driving greater efficiency, accuracy, and scalability.
Dexory is already leading the charge, but the journey is far from over. As AI continues to advance, we can expect to see even more sophisticated systems that will further transform how warehouses operate. Andrei’s insights offered a glimpse into this exciting future, where autonomous systems will play an increasingly central role in the logistics ecosystem.
Conclusion: A new era in logistics
As the conversation wrapped up, it was clear that Dexory is not just keeping up with the pace of change in logistics—it’s setting the standard. With Andrei Danescu at the helm, the company is poised to continue leading the way in AI and robotics, delivering solutions that are not only innovative but also practical and impactful.
For those interested in the full conversation, the TechFirst podcast episode is a must-listen. It’s an exciting time for the logistics industry, and with Dexory’s technology, the future looks brighter than ever.
