Dematic, a subsidiary of the global intralogistics provider Kion Group – has announced a partnership to “transform the supply-chain industry” through accelerated cloud innovation.
Dematic said it aims to bolster supply-chain resiliency and deliver go-to-market solutions by combining its supply-chain expertise with Google Cloud’s cloud, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine-learning (ML) technologies.
Dee Cusack, chief technology officer, Dematic, said: “This partnership is a continuation of our invaluable collaboration with the Google Cloud team, whose keen interest in helping us build and test the next generation of warehouse management solutions makes this alliance a perfect match for our growth strategy.
“We value Google Cloud’s drive for innovation and commitment to reimagining our customer solutions as we make our own transition to the cloud. We’re excited to start the next chapter of our business together.”
The partnership aims to allow Dematic to develop and deploy a range of solutions, including e-commerce and omnichannel fulfilment, and control tower applications for key vertical markets including general merchandise, grocery, apparel, and food and beverage.
According to Google Cloud, Dematic customers will be able to create “a more sustainable supply chain” by leveraging data to understand efficiencies to be gained in areas such as operations, planning, labour and inventory.
“Google Cloud is committed to helping organisations across the supply chain address the rapidly-evolving needs and expectations of customers, suppliers, and fulfilment centres with cloud technology,” said Kirsten Kliphouse, president, North America, Google Cloud.
“We’re pleased to partner with Dematic to provide customers with innovative solutions and technologies that will help them quickly address changes across the industry and that support their digital transformation goals.”
