Empowering the Supply Chain with Agentic AI
By Keith Moore, CEO, AutoScheduler.AI
Keith Moore is CEO of AutoScheduler, an Agentic AI Warehouse Orchestration platform in use by major companies in CPG and F&B. We are now expanding our capabilities to other manufacturers, including furniture and automotive. The AutoScheduler.AI platform improves labor utilization, increases efficiencies and productivity, cuts costs in the supply chain and more.
AutoScheduler.AI empowers your supply chain with its Agentic AI-based warehouse orchestration platform that integrates with your existing WMS/LMS/YMS or any other solution to drive value across the supply chain by improving throughput, cutting labor costs, and ensuring customer service goals are met. AutoScheduler automates critical tasks for the warehouse like labor scheduling, task sequencing, and dock management, ensuring everything runs smoothly and efficiently. Our Agentic AI-based platform makes better decisions to create an adaptive, living supply chain.
AutoScheduler sits on top of existing WMS, ERP, and YMS systems to understand the delivery expectations for all warehouses over the next 6, 24, and even 72 hours. It then algorithmically uses this information to identify inventory, capacity, and shipping constraints that will cause future challenges. These constraints can then be dynamically scheduled to ensure that when an inbound or outbound shipment arrives, the dock staff have the capacity to act on it. Because of this constraint-based orchestration across all schedules, AutoScheduler can not only quickly identify future issues, but also highlight the causes of those issues and potential resolution paths. This full-scale orchestration also allows AutoScheduler to create opportunities, like shipping straight from the production line or scheduling more cross docks.
AutoScheduler.AI’s Agentic AI platform for warehouse orchestration is easy to use and can provide answers to questions on just about anything you want to know that is going on in your warehouse, while making suggestions on how to fix any issues.
Warehouse orchestration is designed to address modern distribution challenges by unifying various data sources into actionable plans. Between labor shortages, enhanced customer demands, increased automation, and an influx of data sources, supply chain professionals have a lot to juggle.
Warehouse orchestration brings clarity to this chaos by synthesizing all the disparate data inputs involved in the warehouse. While it may seem like a cutting-edge concept, warehouse orchestration is quickly becoming a necessity for organizations aiming to maximize efficiency and minimize operational hurdles.
AutoScheduler helps warehouse managers predict demand, anticipate bottlenecks, and optimize activities as they arise. The benefits of warehouse orchestration include positive impacts on productivity, budgeting, safety, and client satisfaction.
AutoScheduler.AI’s warehouse orchestration platform helps IT teams perform advanced warehouse planning with predictive decisioning and prescriptive analytics. Because so many sites struggle to manage and plan labor while increasing OTIF, AutoScheduler orchestrates all critical activities inside and around facilities.
AutoScheduler uses advanced algorithms to optimize labor, tasks, and resource allocation. This ensures that every task is executed with maximum efficiency, leading to increased productivity and reduced costs.
AutoScheduler predicts future bottlenecks and disruptions, allowing leadership to proactively address potential issues before they impact operations. This foresight ensures smoother, uninterrupted workflows.
Being able to fulfill orders quickly and accurately is the primary goal of any warehouse, especially in the food, beverage, CPG, and retail industries. Companies must automate all operational warehouse decision-making in a capacity-considerate way, freeing people to fight the fires that pop up. Many companies employ specialized software to assist with warehouse optimization efforts.
By augmenting workflows with artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and digital twins, distribution operations can become more agile and responsive to changing market conditions and better adapt to customers' needs. These technologies can help distributors make more informed decisions, reduce costs, and improve operational efficiency, improving customer satisfaction and profitability.
AutoScheduler leads to indirect labor savings, increased fill rate, increased load on time, and productivity improvements across direct labor by optimizing the work historically released and executed by warehouse operators.
AutoScheduler helps companies become more agile and flexible in responding to changing customer demands. This helps companies stay ahead of the competition and thrive in this dynamic market.
