Ziegler UK has taken another bold step towards the future of logistics with the introduction of our newest innovation: a state-of-the-art autonomous inventory management robot, powered by Dexory. This latest technological advancement reinforces our ongoing commitment to operational excellence, digital transformation, and future-proofing its services for the evolving needs of the supply chain industry.
At the heart of this breakthrough is a fully autonomous robot capable of scanning up to 10,000 pallet locations per hour. Equipped with a 12-metre extendable tower, lidar technology, high-definition cameras, and precision sensors, the robot continuously collects real-time data as it navigates through Ziegler’s warehouse environment without human intervention. It performs routine scanning tasks consistently, regardless of lighting conditions or time of day—ensuring a constant stream of actionable data that’s immediately available for operational insights.
The data captured feeds directly into DexoryView, an intelligent platform that builds a live digital twin of the warehouse. This creates a full visual and data-driven model of inventory positions, conditions, and volumes—offering unparalleled transparency and control. With this capability, we can now make quicker, more informed decisions, significantly reduce manual errors, and elevate service levels for our clients by improving order accuracy and reducing lead times. Teams across warehousing and logistics can now collaborate with greater clarity, supported by a single source of truth.
Beyond visibility, the robot actively identifies discrepancies in stock data as they happen. This proactive error detection supports greater stock accuracy, helping us maintain seamless logistics flows and minimise disruptions—key factors in the time-sensitive world of modern warehousing. It allows us to correct issues before they affect order fulfilment or inventory planning.
Another transformative benefit lies in space optimisation. Through detailed analysis provided by DexoryView, Ziegler can identify underused locations, consolidate stock more effectively, and maximise every cubic metre of its storage footprint. The result is not only improved capacity but also streamlined workflows that support greater throughput and flexibility, even during seasonal peaks or demand fluctuations. This enables us to scale our services dynamically, without needing to expand physical infrastructure.
Designed with safety in mind, the robot operates smoothly around personnel and machinery, enabling 24/7 data collection without halting operations. This means we can scale efficiency without compromising on health and safety, reinforcing our high operational standards and ensuring business continuity.
This technological leap illustrates Ziegler’s progressive mindset. As a company with over 117 years of logistics heritage—evolving from horse and cart to combustion-engine vehicles, to electric fleets and now AI-driven automation—we continue to demonstrate an unwavering focus on innovation. This implementation of advanced robotics enables us to stay current and ahead of the curve, building smarter warehouses, and setting new benchmarks for logistics performance.
