The paper includes a detailed case study of how Holman has successfully used artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies to dramatically reduce the number of forklift safety incidents in both multi-client and dedicated warehouse facilities owned by Holman as well as dedicated warehouses owned by Holman customers. The authors also review the industry research on the adoption of AI in logistics, discuss current research on AI in warehousing, and discuss possible applications of AI and ML tools in warehouses.
Brien Downie, president of Holman Logistics, summarizes Holman results this way: “Everything we do at Holman has a Safety Focus. What started as a time-limited experiment in using AI to improve forklift safety has expanded to all of our warehouses and several customer locations. We have seen positive improvements in all forklift safety measures as well as in driver training. We look forward to more improvements as the technology continues to develop.”
