About Ox
Ox is pioneering “human-centered automation” that enables frontline operators to perform their work more efficiently. $242bn is spent annually on warehouse labor and 80% of warehouses have not introduced automation into the centuries-old process of picking and packing. Ox is fixing that with wearable technology and AI that directs frontline operators through their workflow via intuitive displays and real-time connectivity – making frontline work easier to perform, train and track. The company’s software solution uses wearable technology and AI to automate operational decisions across the supply chain. Their initial focus is on warehousing and fulfillment, with retail and grocery as near-term expansion opportunities.
Why Now
More than 80% of warehouses have no automation. Picking represents 55% of warehouse spend and is a tedious process for warehouse workers. One third of deskless worker churn is likely to occur every six months. As deskless worker churn continues, employers are looking for solutions to make these jobs more attractive. Workers using Ox have spent 20% less time on similar tasks and are overall happier with their experience.
