Warehouses, 3PLs and transport
Every request lands on a floor racing the truck.
A warehouse answers to a WMS, an OMS, a TMS, sensors, carriers and a messenger thread with every customer. AiNOS One links them record to record, so the floor desk answers with evidence instead of a guess.
What AiNOS One reads here
- Warehouse management system
- Order management system
- Transport management system
- Yard management
- Carrier departures and tracking
- Temperature sensors
- Quality system
- EDI messages
- Labour roster
- Messenger and call records
The three products at the warehouse
The same model serves the manager who decides, the people who do the work and the machines that move.
| Product | The situation | Today | What changes |
|---|---|---|---|
| AiNOS DeskDecide | A customer messages: add 8 cases of tofu before the 15:30 truck. | The floor desk checks stock, the pick queue and the dispatch board in three systems, then replies from memory. | One links the alias to the product, the order, cold-room stock, pick work and the truck. With 50 minutes of work and 10 to cutoff, Desk drafts three options with their evidence, and the desk approves the reply. |
| AiNOS FlintWork safely | Someone stepping out from behind a rack corner can’t be seen from the forklift seat. | Forklift and rack safety are taught once and audited on paper. | The rule is compiled from the standards and rehearsed on the site’s own layout, corner by corner. |
| AiNOS MarshalMove | How many AMRs, and where? | Automation is sized by vendor quotes and experience. | The site’s layout, orders and arrival patterns are run against one to eight AMRs or a conveyor. The three best configurations come back with their trade-offs, and the same brain that runs the terminal yard runs the fleet. |
The whole operation, area by area
How each area runs today, how it runs on AiNOS One, and which product serves it first.
| Workflow area | Today | On AiNOS One | Product |
|---|---|---|---|
| Inbound and receiving | Seals, temperatures and notice mismatches are reconciled by hand at the dock. | Each arrival is checked against its order, notice, seal and temperature, with a disposition drafted for approval. | Desk |
| Inventory and storage | Allocation and expiry are managed in the WMS; discrepancies are chased by email. | Allocation, expiry and discrepancies are decided against linked stock, orders and evidence. | Desk |
| Fulfilment | Labour plans are sized from experience; automation is quoted by vendors. | Staffing and automation are compared in the site’s twin before money is spent. | Marshal |
| Outbound and transport | Late orders collide with carrier cutoffs at the dock. | Every order knows its truck and its cutoff; collisions arrive as options, not surprises. | Desk |
| Customer requests | Requests arrive by messenger and phone and are answered from memory. | Requests are read, linked to the records and answered with evidence. Nothing is sent without approval. | Desk |
| Network and capacity | Placing volume across sites is a spreadsheet and a round of calls. | Every site reports one common state, and volume is placed across the network with cost and service shown. | Desk |
| Safety and workforce | Safety is taught once and audited on paper. | Rules are compiled and rehearsed on the site’s own layout. | Flint |
Built for the warehouse
Working software on AiNOS One, each piece a decision, a rule or a fleet.
Warehouse operations center
A cold-chain warehouse compiled from WMS, yard, transport, quality, sensor and EDI records. Eight decision types are routed to rules or to an evidence-bound agent.
- 156 decisions in a week
- 36 of 36 on a blind holdout
- Abstains when evidence is incomplete
Desk for floor operators
One question answered across orders, receipts, tasks, shipments, carrier tracking and messenger history, for the operator’s own customers only.
- 3 typed agent tools
- Cites what it read
- Sends nothing on its own
Network Composer
A shipper asks whether the network can take 45% more peak volume. Sites are compared on capacity, cost and risk, and a labour shortfall re-splits the plan.
- Every number computed, none generated
- A new site joins with no engine change
Fleet utilisation adviser
Matches customers, vehicles and lease terms so a truck fleet earns more days on the road.
- 40 vehicles, 12 customers
- 40 test cases
Automation sizing
One to eight AMRs or a conveyor, pick-to-light, packing and sealing, run against the site’s own layout and orders.
- Up to 40 configurations searched
- 3 candidates returned
Rack corner rule
The forklift and pedestrian rule at a blind rack corner, compiled and played as a scene on the warehouse layout.
- One rule engine with the terminal and the apron
