The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Center for Transportation & Logistics and Mecalux have developed an artificial intelligence-based simulator capable of optimising inventory distribution across different warehouses within the same logistics network. The platform, called Genetic Evaluation & Simulation for Inventory Strategy (GENESIS), uses advanced machine learning models to analyse thousands of possible scenarios and determine the optimal stock level at each warehouse and … [Read more...] about MIT CTL and Mecalux develop an AI-based simulator to optimise inventory across warehouses

Bem Brasil optimises storage for 500,000 tonnes of frozen food annually with Mecalux
Bem Brasil, the leading producer of pre-fried frozen chips in Brazil, has recently shored up its logistics capacity by building two automated clad-rack warehouses from Mecalux in its plant in Perdizes (Minas Gerais). Both facilities are equipped with the Automated Pallet Shuttle system with a stacker crane and supervised by Easy WMS warehouse management software. They efficiently store and distribute 500,000 tonnes of frozen foods annually. In a country of 211 million people, Bem Brasil … [Read more...] about Bem Brasil optimises storage for 500,000 tonnes of frozen food annually with Mecalux
Mecalux integrates GenAI into its Easy WMS warehouse management system
Mecalux Software Solutions has integrated generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) into its Easy WMS warehouse management system to provide natural responses to information requests. Users of this solution — implemented in over 1,100 warehouses across 36 countries — can now interact with the system via chat. Mimicking human interaction, it interprets and answers complex questions in seven languages. This innovation, developed by Mecalux’s team of specialised engineers, aims to streamline … [Read more...] about Mecalux integrates GenAI into its Easy WMS warehouse management system
MIT and Mecalux launch a groundbreaking project to accelerate logistics innovation
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology Center for Transportation & Logistics(MIT CTL) and intralogistics group Mecalux have kicked off a five-year collaborative project to expedite the integration of self-learning artificial intelligence (AI) in logistics. Through MIT’s Intelligent Logistics Systems Lab, the two institutions will explore new applications of AI models with significant potential for businesses and society. “The objective of our collaboration with Mecalux is to foster … [Read more...] about MIT and Mecalux launch a groundbreaking project to accelerate logistics innovation
