Warehouses run on data, yet that data often lags behind reality. The system shows a pallet on the shelf. The shelf stands empty.
In this episode, Oana Jinga, co-founder and Chief Commercial and Product Officer of Dexory, explains what physical AI means. Digital AI is really good at giving answers, physical AI needs to sense, reason and act in the real world. And pressing Ctrl+Z is not an option.
Dexory’s robots reach up to 18 metres, scan between 10,000 and 12,000 pallet locations an hour with cameras and lidar, and feed a live digital twin of the warehouse. Oana describes a site where 350 picking robots kept stalling at empty locations. A month after Dexory started scanning continuously, the site posted three record days.
We also discuss who signs off on warehouse automation, why scaling from one site to hundreds is the real test for physical AI start-ups, and why Dexory sees its future as a data company rather than a robot maker.
