Warehousing is the backbone of the consumer packaged goods (CPG) supply chain. But latency, bandwidth constraints, and disconnected systems limit how fast decisions can be made at the ground level. VSI Technologies enables real-time warehouse intelligence through edge computing–bringing analytics to where data is generated.The Need for Edge in CPG
- Rapid SKU proliferation and demand volatility
- Paper-based or reactive fulfillment processes
- High cost of cloud data roundtrips
VSI's Edge Warehouse Framework1. Real-Time Io
T Integration: Connect barcode scanners, conveyors, and RFID readers at the edge2. Computer Vision and AI: Monitor anomalies, worker safety, and order accuracy3. Local Decision Loops: Enable immediate optimization for slotting, picking, and packing4. Hybrid Data Syncing: Only transmit insights to cloud for historical and cross-DC learning
Performance Uplift
- 20-35% improvement in order cycle times
- 40% reduction in fulfillment errors
- 2x improvement in dock-to-stock efficiency
Sustainability
Impact
By minimizing idle time and misroutes, edge-powered warehouses also contribute to greener operations.
Conclusion
Edge computing isn't just for tech giants–it's for every CPG company looking to outpace disruption. VSI Technologies delivers the edge intelligence needed for next-gen warehousing.
