Scope

• IKEA has started using GreyOrange’s AI-based GreyMatter Fulfilment Operating System to optimize operations at its store in Kuopio, Finland. The software analyzes incoming customer orders and orchestrates a fleet of robots to pick the ordered items from the store’s inventory on the mezzanine floor and deliver them to human workers who pack orders on the ground-floor. IKEA claims that the AI technology helps it to accurately and quickly fulfil a greater number of customer orders and make the store a safer place for its workers.
• IKEA uses drones for accurately taking inventory at its warehouses and avoiding discrepancies between the actual inventory and inventory data. The drones help IKEA’s store staff determine the exact quantity and location of products in its warehouses. Currently, 100 Verity drones fly across IKEA’s warehouses in Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Croatia, Slovenia, and the Netherlands for taking inventory.
• IKEA has started using an autonomous truck by Kodiak Robotics Inc. for transporting furniture from its distribution center in Baytown, Texas to one of its retail stores in Frisco, north of Dallas. The truck runs once a day, seven days a week. Kodiak claims that its autonomous trucks are more fuel efficient than manually-driven trucks and help companies overcome the truck driver shortage challenge in the US.
