Initial Challenge or Current Challenges

A leading logistics company faces significant challenges in managing the large number of packages flowing through its distribution centers. Handling thousands of packages of different shapes and sizes every day to meet customer demands for same-day or next-day delivery can be difficult in real-time tracking with sorting accuracy because misrouted packages not only cost money but can also disappoint customers. Heavy reliance on traditional manual sorting methods and basic barcode scanning often do not work well, leading to misrouted packages, increasing labor costs, and delayed deliveries.

Implementation by xis.ai

To address these challenges, xis.ai implemented an AI-driven machine vision solution across its distribution centers. This solution included automated package scanning, where high-speed cameras scanned each package, enabling deep learning algorithms to quickly identify and read labels, even if they were damaged or partially covered, ensuring accurate sorting based on destination codes. Packages then move along a conveyor belt with industrial cameras that check dimensions, shape, and label orientation. AI algorithms assign each package to the correct chute, allowing for fast sorting without manual help. The AI system also gathers data on each package, such as weight, size, and destination, using past performance data to predict the best routing and loading strategies, which minimizes transit time and ensures quick delivery. Additionally, the machine vision system reduces the need for manual scanning and sorting, allowing staff to focus on managing exceptions and overseeing operations, improving overall efficiency and better using the workforce.

Benefits

The benefits that a logistics company can gain is perfect sorting accuracy, cutting down on misrouted packages and costs with increasing speed and allowing the company to handle more packages per hour, meeting customer expectations for quicker reliable deliveries with reducing reliance on manual labor, and lowering labor costs that can also increase customer satisfaction and the company’s reputation. xis.ai solutions made it easy to scale operations during peak times without needing more staff.
