With the advent of online shopping, prompt product delivery to home has become a new norm. The growth of these online shopping portals has added a massive impact on the logistics industry.
Thus, actually tremendously increasing the number of parcel shipments to be done.
For this, the industry needs to accelerate its operational efficiency. But this cannot be quickly done by following conventional working patterns.
Here AI-led solutions come into play. To uplift the efficacy, we can deploy three AI-led automated solutions.
Automated parcel dimensioning systems
The first is, of course, is Automated parcel dimensioning systems. Well, you all know dimensioning plays a crucial role in both logistics and shipping industries.
An automated dimensioning system actually eliminates the conventional dimensioning method.
Where the warehouse associates use tape and rulers to measure the dimensional information of the package, but this is both time-consuming and prone to error.
Autonomous mobile robots and Guided vehicles
The second way is by using autonomous mobile robots and guided vehicles. Yes! Moving mid-sized parcels from one place to another is a hectic task in the logistics industry that consumes time, energy, and resources.
Moreover, this traditional material moving approach sometimes ends up in serious human injuries and also product damages. By deploying autonomous mobile robots and guided vehicles, we can rapidly consume time and energy, pointless chargebacks, and cut down the chance of human injuries.
Drone
The last but yet another robust AI solution is Drone. These autonomous drones are not only helpful in conducting surveillance but also for carrying and identifying products.
These unmanned aerial vehicles help upgrade warehouse and logistics processes using optical sensors.
It will quickly locate an item from several meters; it can RFID tags, gauge inventory levels and transfer all the data directly into the warehouse management systems.
The above discussed are the three paramount AI-led solutions we can deploy in our vertical to aid logistics providers and rapidly increase productivity.
An this, my dear friends, is the logistics insight for today.
This is Alphonse, signing off.
Bye!
