00:10Robots are unstoppable in logistics.
00:16We actually get a chance to have a meaningful impact on the world.
00:20It's how do we formulate a harmony between man and machine.
00:26The sky is the limit actually.
00:29A robotic platform based on artificial intelligence seeks to revolutionize the logistics of the electronic trade.
00:36A technological breakthrough is developed, ensayated and already in function in the European Union.
00:53En este centro de distribución cerca de Berlín se gestiona cada semana el envío de cientos de miles de prendas
00:59de vestir, accesorios, zapatos o cosméticos.
01:03Un proceso dinámico y altamente mecanizado donde velocidad, precisión y eficacia son primordiales.
01:11We have different sections, we have inbound, we have outbound, we have quality control, etc.
01:18And we plan people, we manage to deliver those volumes.
01:22But for a customer, the simple thing, what is important for them is how much is coming in, how much
01:28is going out,
01:29and how accurate and how efficient we are in this entire process.
01:35Entre las últimas tecnologías en uso, estos robots, diseñados para procesar más de 600 unidades por hora,
01:42son capaces de identificar autónomamente naturaleza, tamaño, forma y peso de cada artículo y su embalaje
01:49y gestionarlo de manera óptima.
02:16Sin estas soluciones basadas en inteligencia artificial,
02:20los modelos de negocio del comercio electrónico ya no son viables,
02:24afirman los directivos del Grupo de Moda en línea que utiliza estas naves como su principal centro logístico en el
02:31continente europeo.
02:33Our e-commerce business is very volatile.
02:36Everybody knows we have Fleck Friday, but there are also spikes around Easter, Christmas,
02:41so it makes it very difficult to plan the personnel properly.
02:46Now, the advantage of the robot is, the robot is always there,
02:50and can then easily help us in coping with volume spikes.
02:55We all know in Europe and all the Western countries,
02:59we have a shrinking workforce population because people are getting older,
03:04but the amount of orders doesn't necessarily go down.
03:07Robots are a very fine example of how to mitigate these risks in demography.
03:18La tecnología ha sido desarrollada y ensayada en la capital de Polonia.
03:23Esta empresa emergente emplea a unas 140 personas.
03:27Su misión, desarrollar herramientas robóticas capaces de empaquetar, manipular
03:32y clasificar artículos en centros de logística como lo harían los humanos,
03:37pero de forma más rápida, eficaz y precisa.
03:42Los ingenieros han desarrollado soluciones de IA basadas en la nube
03:45que, básicamente, ayudan a los robots a aprender de sus propias acciones.
03:53When the robot is performing, we are collecting all the metrics possible,
03:58all the readings from all the sensors,
04:00all the images of every single bin that the robot would see.
04:05And we are using this data to further train the machine learning model and further adjust.
04:12The robot can adapt to new items that are thin first time
04:16and can adapt to different shapes, different sizes and different kinds of items.
04:22The robot can have three, four, five different tools
04:24so that it can pick very small items, two centimeters, or very big items, five kilograms.
04:31This robot is large and the payload is very high,
04:35so the robot can, in the future, pick 10 kilograms, 15 kilograms items.
04:40It's a matter of developing the right tools and adjusting the system.
04:44La empresa afirma que su investigación y desarrollo buscan superar lo que denomina
04:50desafíos irresolubles en la automatización en centros logísticos.
05:11Entre sus retos tecnológicos, el diseño de manos robóticas adecuadas
05:16que permitan manipular con eficacia una amplia variedad de artículos y contenedores,
05:21desde envoltorios de plástico hasta cajas de zapatos.
06:12La empresa afirma haber triplicado su volumen de negocios y su número de clientes.
06:18En los últimos años, en 2025, anunció haber conseguido una inversión
06:22de aproximadamente 50 millones de euros para impulsar la innovación
06:27en inteligencia artificial aplicada a la robótica.
06:30I think today, while the systems are very reliable,
06:34their flexibility and ability to add new use cases is still moderate, I would say.
06:40So we're adding new use cases and making the systems be able to tackle more of the tasks in the
06:45warehouse.
06:46Tanto desarrolladores como usuarios finales afirman estar atentos al impacto social
06:52de este progreso impulsado por la IA en la logística del comercio electrónico.
06:57The robot still requires some maintenance.
07:00We're working together with our customers on educating their staff.
07:04And we've seen cases where the employees see pride in working in a more advanced higher tech environment
07:11rather than, you know, performing a lot of very manual tasks.
07:18The human-less warehouse is impossible.
07:22So this will never work.
07:23So there will always be human collaborators, people working in a warehouse.
07:28You might attract a different sort of people to make it attractive for them working in a warehouse.
07:33Embracing AI, embracing new technology, embracing robotics is actually, it's a necessity.
07:40In order just to cope with the increasing demand.
07:45We're not necessarily replacing man with machine, but it's more about creating a harmony and moving forward.
