The industry woke up when it witnessed the power of ChatGPT in 2023, and Generative AI suddenly became a buzzword without building a clear foundation. Today, organizations find themselves at different points in their understanding of Machine Vision and AI technology's maturity and how leaders should think about the entire journey, not just one application. We built an AI operating model to simplify and turbocharge value delivery from Machine Vision, Generative AI, and Digital Twin technologies. The framework allows Enterprise leaders to think holistically and elevate operational process efficiency to levels bordering rocket science precision and accuracy.
Backed by over 20 patents, the KoiVision platform delivers digital operational excellence that goes beyond all known methodologies to logistics, supply chain, and manufacturing customers. With AI Operating Model and KoiVision Platform, let's take operations beyond where any operations leader has gone before with methodologies such as Six Sigma and Lean.

Consumer behavior has drastically increased in the wake of the global shift toward e-commerce, particularly during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Online purchases have become the norm across multiple sectors. However, the ease and convenience of purchasing products online have led to a higher volume of returns. Many consumers over-order and send back unwanted items. This surge in returns has led to what industry experts call the "e-commerce hangover"—a situation where companies struggle to manage the volume, complexity, and cost of product returns. Retailers face increased costs related to transportation, labor, inventory management, and restocking. There are also added sustainability concerns, as returned items often lead to waste, even if the product is in perfect condition.

The session explains why "rate" is not always "the rate" and how to understand Goods-to-Person operational throughput, capacity, and resulting return on investment from the operator's point of view. The rate is determined by much more than the reach and grab. This session connects the language of operations with how Goods-to-Person mechanical solutions like CASRS and AMRs are talked about. A key takeaway from this session is understanding what goes into operational rate calculations and a summary of the elements in Goods-to-Person rate calculations, such as order profiles, item characteristics, capacities, ergonomics, operational and mechanical throughput, and return on investment.
