IN Brief:
- New robot extends scanning range to 60 feet, and feeds a live digital twin.
- “Storage Health” flags hygiene, safety, and stock risks during routine scans.
- Dexory positions the release for complex racking and mixed storage types.
Dexory has launched a next-generation autonomous warehouse robot and a new “Storage Health” software feature, aimed at improving real-time visibility, inventory accuracy, and risk detection in busy facilities. The company introduced the system at Manifest 2026 in Las Vegas.
Dexory says its updated robot is built for continuous, high-frequency capture without disrupting daily operations, operating alongside people and equipment while feeding a live view of conditions into its DexoryView digital twin platform. The next-generation unit increases scanning range to 60 feet, compared with 40 feet in the current generation, which the company says allows it to process more data, faster.
The design focus is on the places where stock errors, damage, and compliance headaches tend to accumulate: high-bay racking, double-deep configurations, block storage, and other non-racked environments that are difficult to audit consistently. Dexory says the robot’s scanning approach is intended to create a reliable data layer across an entire warehouse “at the click of a button,” rather than relying on periodic cycle counts, or selective checks.
Richard Williams, VP of Robotics at Dexory, said: “Warehouse performance depends on how closely operational systems reflect reality on the floor. By continuously capturing accurate data across every storage type and operational area, our next-generation solution gives customers a trusted, real-time foundation for decision-making. This enables warehouse operators to make decisions based on what is actually there, not what they assume is true.”
Dexory is also leaning into modularity. The company says the robot architecture is designed to integrate additional capabilities over time, including pick face analysis, or temperature monitoring, without a full redesign. In many warehousing operations, that matters because “visibility” is rarely only about units on hand. It is also about what condition stock is in, where it is located, whether it is accessible, and whether the storage environment supports shelf-life targets and quality requirements.
The second element of the launch, Storage Health, is aimed squarely at those operational realities. Dexory says the feature runs in the background during scans, analysing high-resolution images captured in real time, and identifying issues that can be missed during manual checks. The company lists damaged racking, defective pallets, unstable items, hanging shrink wrap, empty pallets, and damaged or crushed goods among the risks it intends to flag, linking them to fire risk, contamination risk, obstruction, inventory loss, and rework.
Chris Coote, Director of Product at Dexory, said: “The biggest risks often sit higher up or deeper in the racks where manual checks are infrequent and ineffective. Storage Health changes this, enabling operations, health and safety, and inventory teams to act early and reduce risks before they escalate into costly incidents, injuries, or compliance issues.”
Dexory says customers using its existing systems have reported an 80% reduction in audit time and a 20% throughput improvement, and it is positioning the latest release as an extension of those gains into more complex storage layouts.
