Artificial Intelligence has extensive abilities to impact many aspects of our daily lives. With the growing development of new and improved technologies we are beginning to be surrounded by speech recognition software such as Google Assistant and Siri, autonomous robots and self-driving cars.

The warehouses around the globe have seen significant changes and automation processes implemented over the past decade. Within the warehouse industry, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the capacity to have a substantial impact on improving and adapting processes from:

performance through the use of robots,
machine learning to monitor inventory statistics and,
productivity increases by following orders from voice recognition.

Voice Recognition software has the ability to teach machinery and equipment within the warehouse to follow an order with little effort, commonly known as hands free experience.

Just as any employee's performance is governed by a given set of measures. Likewise, the same principles applies to Artificial Intelligence. For instance, the warehouse KPIs can range from:

Order fulfillment accuracy
Employee efficiency
Inventory accuracy
Order fulfillment time.

In conclusion, automated processes and procedures are taking over many industry's including the warehouse industry. With the rise of eCommerce, the warehouse is requiring faster and more flexible systems to keep up. Above all, by obtaining data from AI it can provide suggestions and improve processes to optimise the running of each warehouse.
