Read the source ↓What the company did
GXO used a Dexory robot to scan warehouse inventory at Oosterhout in the Netherlands. Cameras and sensors read labels and barcodes and capture the surrounding space, creating digital inventory models for stock visibility without repeated manual checks.
How it went
GXO reported completing the pilot in March 2025 and expanding deployment in the U.S. and Europe. It said the approach eliminated manual stock checks and cycle counts and improved inventory control, without an independent accuracy evaluation or a confirmed current rollout footprint.
Worth knowing
- This requires warehouse robotics and site integration. Successful navigation in narrow aisles was part of the reported pilot, rather than proof of suitability for every warehouse.
- For your desk: Investigate stock mismatches before changing records; check missed labels, obstructed locations and the time since each location was scanned.
