Real-time spatial intelligence for high-velocity DCs

AVTIB gives distribution centre operations, supply chain, and technology teams a live view of what’s happening on the floor — before problems become exceptions.

Throughput headroom recoverable from congestion and idle assets
5 zones
Goods-in, bulk storage, pick face, replenishment, and dispatch — all monitored
< 4 wks
Typical time from pilot kick-off to first live dashboard in your DC

The floor has no memory.
Until now.

Your WMS tracks tasks. Your cameras record footage. But neither tells you what’s actually happening in each zone, in real time, before it becomes a throughput problem.

OEE risk
Idle forklift detection
Forklifts sitting idle in replenishment zones reduce OEE and create downstream congestion — invisible until throughput drops.
KPI at risk: Overall Equipment Effectiveness
Throughput
Pick face congestion
Multiple pickers competing for the same pick face slow order velocity. Your WMS assigns tasks — it doesn’t see the queue forming in the aisle.
KPI at risk: Orders per hour
Inventory accuracy
Receiving & put-away delays
Goods sitting in the goods-in zone are invisible inventory. Put-away falling behind is only visible after it’s already created a pick shortage.
KPI at risk: Goods-in dwell time
SLA
Dispatch SLA risk
DC managers see dispatch failures after they happen. AVTIB tracks outbound staging rates against your cut-off window — so you intervene before the truck leaves short.
KPI at risk: On-time dispatch rate
Compliance
Cold chain zone compliance
Access patterns, dwell violations, and door events in cold store zones are impossible to audit without spatial evidence. HACCP requires exactly that.
KPI at risk: Cold chain SLA & audit readiness
Safety
Replenishment congestion
Forklifts restocking pick faces while pickers are active in the same aisle create near-miss conditions. Scheduling doesn’t prevent it — spatial awareness does.
KPI at risk: Near-miss rate & throughput

Four active use cases — running simultaneously

AVTIB fuses data from multiple sensor types to detect what no single sensor can see alone. All four run in parallel across your DC.

CAMERA + LIDAR
Proximity Safety

Camera identifies person or forklift type and exact position. LiDAR measures distance and closing speed in real time.

Output
Forklift 2.1m from worker, closing at 6 km/h
→ Alert fires. Zone flagged. Evidence logged.
CAMERA + AUDIO
Near-Miss Evidence

Audio sensor detects forklift horn at exact decibel level and timestamp. Camera confirms visual context in the same zone at the same moment.

Output
Horn at 89dB in Dispatch zone
→ Camera confirms near-miss. Incident log created.
TEMP + DEPTH CAM
GDP Cold Compliance

Temperature sensor tracks zone continuously. Depth camera detects door open events and persons present. Correlated automatically — no manual logging.

Output
Door open 4 min — temp +1.4°C, 3 persons entering
→ GDP audit trail logged. No manual action.
LIDAR + RFID
Live Racking Inventory

LiDAR scans aisle, bay and level for pallets. RFID gate reads SKU identity at zone entry point. Combined into a live inventory map updated in real time.

Output
Aisle B, Bay 3, L2 — 48 units
Bay 4, L1 — empty. Updated in real time.

Built for the people who own DC performance

Three teams. One shared view of the floor.

Operations
DC Operations Director
  • Real-time zone occupancy and congestion alerts
  • Idle asset detection mapped to OEE
  • Shift-level throughput vs target dashboards
  • Replenishment timing and safety monitoring
Supply chain
Supply Chain & Logistics Director
  • Dispatch SLA tracking against daily cut-off windows
  • Goods-in dwell and put-away performance
  • Cold chain compliance evidence for audits
  • Multi-site operational benchmarking
Technology
IT & Digital Transformation Lead
  • Cloud-native AWS infrastructure, no on-prem footprint
  • NVIDIA Metropolis Microservices v4.0 architecture
  • WMS integration roadmap (SAP, Manhattan, Oracle)
  • Role-based access, audit logging, enterprise security

AVTIB doesn’t replace your WMS. Your WMS tells workers where to go. AVTIB tells you what actually happened when they got there. Spatial intelligence on top of task intelligence — the layer your current stack is missing.


What AVTIB does in a DC

Five sensor types. Five DC zones. One unified analytics and alerting layer.

CapabilityWhat it does in your DCWho uses it
Zone dwell tracking
Measures how long assets and personnel stay in each zone. Configurable alert thresholds per zone type — receiving, pick face, dispatch, cold store.
Ops Director Supply Chain
Idle asset detection
Fires an alert when a forklift or asset remains stationary beyond threshold. Directly improves OEE measurement and shift-level equipment utilisation reporting.
Ops Director
Throughput analytics
Tracks orders and units processed per zone per hour. Compares shift performance against daily targets and flags early when dispatch SLA windows are at risk.
Supply Chain Ops Director
Cold chain zone compliance
Monitors access frequency, dwell time, and occupancy patterns in temperature-controlled zones. Produces exportable audit logs for HACCP and cold chain SLA evidence.
Supply Chain Ops Director
AI copilot (natural language)
Ask your DC data a question and get a plain-language answer. “Which zones had the most congestion this morning?” “Are we on track for the 14:00 dispatch cut-off?” No SQL required.
All roles
3D digital twin viewer
AVision World renders your DC as a navigable 3D environment. Visualise sensor placement, zone boundaries, and live occupancy in spatial context — not just a flat floor plan.
IT Lead Ops Director

From floor plan to live intelligence
in four weeks

A structured pilot designed to produce measurable evidence — not a proof of concept that sits in a drawer.

01
Zone mapping & sensor placement
We start with your existing floor plan. AVTIB Tier 1 overlays spatial intelligence on your current layout — no new hardware required to begin. Sensor positions are recorded into the platform and visualised in the 3D twin.
Week 1
02
Baseline measurement
We establish your current throughput, dwell times, and OEE figures before any changes. This baseline is the foundation of your ROI case and ensures the pilot produces defensible evidence.
Week 1–2
03
Live dashboard & alert configuration
Your operations team gets access to the AVTIB analytics dashboard and copilot. Alert thresholds are configured per zone based on your SLAs and operational targets. Role-based access assigned across Ops, Supply Chain, and IT.
Week 2–3
04
Performance review & expansion scoping
At week four we review measured performance against baseline. Throughput delta, OEE improvement, and SLA adherence changes are documented. Expansion to additional zones or sites is scoped from this evidence base.
