Dexory's New AI and Robot Aim to Make Warehouses Safer and Smarter

LAS VEGAS, NV – February 09, 2026 – As the logistics industry grapples with unprecedented complexity, Dexory today unveiled a two-pronged advancement in warehouse intelligence at the Manifest 2026 conference. The company launched its next-generation autonomous robot alongside a new AI-driven software feature, 'Storage Health,' both designed to provide a real-time, high-fidelity view of warehouse operations that was previously unattainable.

These innovations promise to move beyond simple inventory tracking, offering a comprehensive data layer that enhances everything from operational efficiency to worker safety. By combining enhanced robotics with sophisticated AI analysis, the company is positioning itself as a critical player in the digital transformation of the supply chain.

The Evolution of Warehouse Vision

The centerpiece of the announcement is Dexory's new autonomous robot, an evolution of a design that has been operating in live warehouses since 2023. The new model is engineered to be faster and more efficient, but its most significant upgrade lies in its data-capturing prowess. With an extended scanning range of up to 60 feet—a 50% increase from the previous 40-foot range—the robot can now create a comprehensive digital picture of even the most challenging storage environments.

This extended reach allows the system to consistently scan racks of all sizes, including complex configurations like double-deep racking and unstructured block storage areas. Operating safely alongside human workers and machinery without disrupting daily workflows, the robot continuously feeds high-frequency data into DexoryView, the company's digital twin platform. This creates a perpetually updated, live view of the entire facility.

“Warehouse performance depends on how closely operational systems reflect reality on the floor,” said Richard Williams, VP of Robotics at Dexory. “By continuously capturing accurate data across every storage type and operational area, our next-generation solution gives customers a trusted, real-time foundation for decision-making. This enables warehouse operators to make decisions based on what is actually there, not what they assume is true.”

The Invisible Guardian: AI for Proactive Safety

Complementing the new hardware is 'Storage Health,' a software feature that acts as a vigilant, digital safety inspector. Powered by computer vision and AI, the feature runs in the background during every scan, analyzing the high-resolution images captured by the robot to identify potential risks that often go unnoticed during manual checks.

'Storage Health' is trained to flag a host of critical issues that compromise safety and operational integrity. These include damaged racking that could lead to catastrophic collapses; defective or unstable pallets that pose a falling hazard; and hanging shrink wrap or empty pallets that create significant fire and contamination risks. It also identifies damaged or crushed goods, allowing inventory teams to address stock control issues and prevent losses before they escalate.

This technology represents a paradigm shift from reactive to proactive risk management. Traditional safety protocols rely on manual inspections, which are often infrequent, time-consuming, and ineffective at spotting problems deep within high-density racking. The ability to automatically and continuously monitor for these hazards is a significant leap forward.

“The biggest risks often sit higher up or deeper in the racks where manual checks are infrequent and ineffective,” said Chris Coote, Director of Product at Dexory. “Storage Health changes this, enabling operations, health and safety, and inventory teams to act early and reduce risks before they escalate into costly incidents, injuries, or compliance issues.”

Beyond the Barcode: Redefining Warehouse Intelligence

The dual launch underscores a move toward total warehouse intelligence, going far beyond simple barcode scans and inventory counts. By providing a rich, multi-layered data stream, Dexory enables a holistic understanding of a warehouse's physical and operational state. The results from existing customer implementations already point to a dramatic return on investment.

Clients have reported an 80% reduction in audit time and a 20% improvement in throughput. Some have virtually eliminated manual stocktaking, saving days of audit downtime and achieving inventory accuracy levels of up to 99.9%. For one global brand, logistics partner Maersk used the system to increase inventory accuracy by 4% while boosting operational speed from scanning 150 locations per hour to an astonishing 10,000. These metrics translate into tangible benefits: reduced labor costs, optimized space utilization, and a more resilient supply chain.

This level of granular, real-time data empowers managers to make strategic decisions with confidence. They can identify bottlenecks, reallocate resources, and optimize workflows based on a complete and accurate picture of their facility, not on outdated reports or assumptions.

Future-Proofing the Supply Chain

In a rapidly growing and competitive warehouse automation market, which is projected to exceed $100 billion by 2035, Dexory is carving out a niche focused on data intelligence. While competitors like Symbotic and Berkshire Grey offer end-to-end automation solutions, Dexory's strategy is to provide a foundational data layer that enhances existing systems.

The new robot's modular architecture is a key part of this future-proofing strategy. It allows for the seamless integration of additional capabilities, such as pick face analysis or temperature monitoring, without requiring costly overhauls. This flexibility ensures that warehouses can adapt to evolving needs and new technologies.

Furthermore, the DexoryView platform is designed for rapid deployment—often in less than a week—and integrates with existing Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. By elevating the systems already in place with a continuous stream of accurate data, the solution provides immediate value without the massive disruption often associated with technology implementations. This approach allows logistics leaders to optimize their current operations while building a robust, data-driven foundation for the future of their business.
