Iron Mountain implements Dexory artificial intelligence and robotic solution into UK warehouses
Dexory, a provider of AI and robotics solutions, has announced a partnership with Iron Mountain, a specialist in information management, storage, datacentre infrastructure, and asset lifecycle management.
Since 2021, Iron Mountain has expanded into a third-party logistics (3PL) provider, with the aim of disrupting the warehouse and logistics industry with its solutions.
The company has chosen to adopt DexoryView as its preferred inventory and tracking solution at four warehouses across Kettering Symmetry Park, Lutterworth Magna Park North and Rugby Symmetry Park.
Iron Mountain, which lays claim to more than 225,000 customers around the world, was looking for an automated solution to inventory management and space optimisation for these warehouses, rather than opting for a more traditional and manual intensive route.
Using Dexory’s technology, combining analytics with autonomous robots, it will be able to scan 15,000 locations per hour, without impacting its day-to-day operations.
This allows the company to analyse its pallet lifecycle within its warehouses. In addition, it is able to gather full visibility of stock and track inventory movements.
Maria Torrent-March, Warehousing & Logistics Strategy Director at Iron Mountain, says: “Implementing a future-proof, innovative inventory solution is key to our warehousing strategic direction.”
“Dexory’s technology enables our vision for automation and efficiency, especially where we have large rotations of stock, reducing our overall operational costs.”
Dexory’s robots measure, count, track and find inventory across warehouses as they navigate the racks, without workflow disruption.
The data is pushed in real-time to the DexoryView warehouse digital twin platform, offering end-to-end visibility across the state of the warehouse operations.
By implementing autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and the AI powered DexoryView platform, Iron Mountain is able to further improve its process compliance, accuracy in stock counting and improve the response time from its inventory team.
Oana Jinga, Dexory’s Chief Commercial Officer, comments: “We’re thrilled to have Iron Mountain adopt our data driven technology for these warehouses in the UK. Introducing DexoryView will provide them with the ability to deliver greater efficiencies and accurate stock management.”
