INTERVIEW WITH DOKS.

Data collection and aggregation made easy. doks. innovation develops intelligent sensor-based solutions for inventory recording and optimization in various warehouse types in intralogistics.

Easy Engineering: What are the main areas of activity of the company?

DOKS. INNOVATION: doks.’ customers include 3PL, automobile manufacturers and their supplier as well as logisticians and producers from the food, furniture and craft sectors. The intelligent sensor solutions are for pallet racking areas indoors and block storage areas indoors and outdoors.

E.E: What’s the news for 2021 about new products?

DOKS. INNOVATION: Besides the global roll out of the drone-based indoor inventory solution, doks. innovation is building its expertise in the automotive sector. The latest product, summAIRy. mobile, is a simple app with a highly developed neuronal network for imaged based tyre counting.

E.E: What are the ranges of products?

DOKS. INNOVATION: All doks.’ solutions are using different sensors for data acquisition and unmatched simple software for the data aggregation.

  • inventAIRy(r) XL is the drone-robot combination for indoor pallet racking areas
  • summAIRy. sky is the outdoor drone solution for block storage areas
  • summAIRy. ceiling is the indoor solution for block storage areas
  • summAIRy. gate is a solution for inbound and outbound data acquisition
  • summAIRy. mobile is an App for vision based counting

E.E: What can you tell us about market trends?

DOKS. INNOVATION:Resource scarcity and scarce storage space increase the pressure on intralogistics to plan better. At the same time, if there is a shortage of skilled workers and high costs, the manual process means that inventory records are only carried out very rarely. This results in inaccurate inventory data, which makes precise warehouse and process planning difficult.

The trend is towards automated inventory and AI-based platforms, which make it possible to identify optimization potential at a glance.

It is important that the solutions simply work, have little impact on the warehouse infrastructure and do not disrupt operational processes.

E.E: What are the most innovative products marketed?

DOKS. INNOVATION:All solutions from doks. innovation have a highly innovative character in order to consistently present the vision of ease of use. The combination of drone and ground robot, for example, enables a continuous flight time of 5 hours and autonomous operation at the weekend or at night.

E.E: What estimations do you have for 2021?

DOKS. INNOVATION: In 2021 qualification of employees to take control and responsibility of and for the processes in their warehouse becomes more and more important.
