The Tech Talks Daily: Exploring the future of supply chain automation
October 14, 2024
As supply chain automation continues to transform the logistics landscape, it’s clear that innovative solutions like robotics and AI are leading the charge. In a recent podcast, Dexory's CEO and Co-founder, Andrei, shared valuable insights on how Dexory is not just optimising warehouse operations but revolutionising the way businesses approach supply chain management. Here’s a recap of some key highlights from the conversation.
Revolutionising warehouses with robotics
One of the most striking innovations discussed was our 12-meter-tall autonomous robot. This towering machine is designed to scan over 10,000 pallets per hour, offering unparalleled efficiency in covering vast warehouse spaces. It's not just about speed but about eliminating errors and providing real-time visibility, a significant challenge for businesses relying on manual processes or outdated systems.
Andrei explained that the DexoryView platform, a digital twin for warehousing, plays a critical role in this transformation. It allows warehouse operators and managers to visualise every part of their operation, reducing inefficiencies such as lost inventory and unnecessary time spent locating pallets. By bridging the visibility gap, DexoryView gives businesses the power to run more efficient operations and prevent costly disruptions.

Harnessing the power of AI for resilience
A major focus of the conversation was on the role of AI in making supply chains more resilient. Andrei emphasised that the pandemic served as a catalyst for technological adoption in logistics. With more businesses moving online, supply chains were under pressure to operate at higher levels of efficiency, and AI-driven insights have become a crucial part of meeting these new demands.
What sets Dexory apart is our ability to collect and process vast amounts of data directly within their autonomous robots. These robots use a combination of cameras, 3D depth perception sensors, and powerful onboard computing to deliver insights in real-time. This allows businesses to address operational issues as they arise, rather than reacting to problems after they’ve already caused delays.

A full-stack approach for adaptability
As a full-stack technology company, we design and build every part of our solution in-house, from the robots themselves to the AI-driven analytics platform. This end-to-end control allows us to quickly adapt their technology to meet the changing needs of our customers. Whether it’s scanning more pallets, covering more ground, or delivering more detailed insights, we are constantly pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in warehouse automation.
This adaptability is crucial in an industry that is evolving as rapidly as logistics. Andrei highlighted that ‘customer needs are constantly changing, and maintaining flexibility in their technology is key to staying ahead’. With deployments across the UK, Europe, and the US, Dexory’s robots are now a global solution, driving efficiencies in warehouses all over the world.
Looking to the future of logistics
The podcast concluded with a discussion on the future of logistics and warehouse automation. Andrei spoke about the exciting potential of combining human expertise with robotic precision, creating a symbiotic relationship that enhances both performance and efficiency. With AI continuing to evolve, the ability to extract deeper insights from data will open up new ways to optimise everything from warehouse layouts to supply chain routes.
As businesses continue to adopt advanced robotics and AI technologies, the question remains: how will they leverage these tools to build more resilient and agile supply chains?
At Dexory, the focus is clear: continuously driving value for our customers, improving efficiency, and staying ahead of industry trends.
