Utilising advanced AI and simulation technologies, KION Group has joined with US AI and robotics company Nvidia and Dublin-headquartered professional services company Accenture, to showcase a “future warehouse” at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.

The warehouse is built using Mega, a Nvidia Omniverse blueprint for large-scale industrial digital twins powered by AI “to improve the performance of intelligent warehouses that operate with automated forklifts, smart cameras and the latest automation and robotics solutions”.

Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of Nvidia says the development of industrial AI and autonomy gives future warehouses the capacity to function “like massive autonomous robots, orchestrating fleets of robots within them”.

KION Group CEO Rob Smith adds the company has leveraged AI-driven solutions as integral to its strategy to optimise both supply chains and productivity.

“With Nvidia’s AI leadership and Accenture’s expertise in digital technologies, we are reinventing warehouse automation,” Smith continues. 

"Bringing these strong partners together, we are creating a vision for future warehouses that are part of a smart agile system, evolve with the world around them, and can handle nearly any supply chain challenge.”

Julie Sweet, chair and CEO of Accenture added that modernising supply chains making them more resilient with real-time flexibility is the “next digital frontier”.

“This collaboration … will break exciting new ground in not only reinventing the warehouse, but also in raising their performance standards with technology, data and AI, helping our clients operate autonomous, safe supply chains,” she adds.
