Hardware & Sensors
Dexory's robot is built around a telescoping tower — collapsed to roughly 3 meters for travel, extending up to 12–14 meters to scan racking that high. The base runs on a 6-wheel chassis (2 caster wheels front, 2 driven wheels center, 2 wheels rear) with a pivoting-arm suspension per wheel pair that absorbs floor undulations, and the robot can rotate 360° in place.
Sensor stack (base)
4 LiDAR units + 2 cameras, plus additional perception sensors
Sensor stack (tower)
17 cameras + 17 lights on the scanning rails, plus 2 more LiDAR units at mid-tower lift sections
Field of view
Up to 50m horizontal, 25m vertical — any obstacle is seen by at least 3 sensors simultaneously
Battery & charging
~4–5 hours continuous scanning per charge, under 3 hours to recharge, auto-returns to dock when low. Dexory's 2026 Multipowr partnership is rolling out wireless charging to eliminate manual plug-in on next-gen units.
Navigation
No GPS. Proprietary SLAM combining 2D/3D LiDAR and 3D camera data against a map built during deployment, claimed centimeter-level accuracy, localization loop running continuously with dynamic obstacle avoidance layered on top.
Throughput
10,000–15,000 locations scanned per hour depending on facility, up to 100,000 pallets/day, capturing roughly 36 TB of visual/3D data per shift — enough to cover a 1-million-sq-ft facility in a single day.
2026 next-gen robot
Extended scan range to 60 ft (up from 40 ft), explicitly built to handle double-deep racking, block storage, and non-racked floor storage in addition to standard single-deep rack.

Software & Integration — DexoryView
DexoryView is Dexory's software platform, built around a live digital twin of the warehouse that updates with every scan:
- Integrity — core discrepancy/accuracy engine; validates counts against WMS data and flags missing or misplaced stock. Its "Pick Count" feature cross-checks WMS pick data against LiDAR scans to verify picks happened from the right location.
- Optimise — slotting-pattern analysis, space-utilization tracking, and consolidation-opportunity identification.
- Storage Health (2026 feature) — computer-vision model that flags damaged racking, unstable or collapse-risk pallets, hanging shrink wrap, empty pallets, and damaged goods as it scans — a safety and loss-prevention layer, not just a count.
- Task Manager — discrepancies surface as trackable, owned, prioritized tasks on mobile and tablet so staff can action them immediately rather than dig through a report.
DexoryView integrates via pre-built connectors and open APIs with SAP EWM, Manhattan, Blue Yonder, and Körber (a named integration partnership since December 2024) — sitting alongside your existing WMS rather than replacing it, reconciling at the SKU and location level.
Deployment Requirements
Dexory's own language is blunt about this: the robot needs "only a power outlet." No floor markers, barcodes, reflectors, or rail/track installation. Dexory's published four-step path to go-live is:
- Site survey — assesses layout and produces a tailored implementation plan.
- Agreement signed — you're queued into the manufacturing/deployment schedule with a robot assigned.
- Installation — DexoryView, the robot, and digital-twin infrastructure go in without disrupting operations; initial site mapping typically takes a few days.
- Go-live — Dexory states customers begin receiving actionable intelligence within two weeks of starting the process.
Safety & Obstacle Avoidance
Dexory publishes real engineering detail on its safety layer even though it does not (as of this writing) advertise a named third-party certification like ISO 3691-4 or ANSI/RIA R15.08 — worth knowing going in, and something Actel discusses directly with facilities that require a specific certification. What is documented: multi-layered perception (2D/3D LiDAR + 3D cameras) with redundant coverage so any obstacle is seen by 3+ sensors; a functional safety layer that continuously calculates stopping distance and brakes before the robot could get closer to an object than it can safely stop short of; and a higher-level trajectory-recalculation algorithm that applies larger safety margins around people than around static objects. The scanning tower's sensors dynamically adjust those margins as it telescopes up to 14 meters.
Maintenance & Support
Dexory is sold as a Robotics-as-a-Service subscription — no CapEx. Dexory's own description of what's included: "real-time warehouse intelligence, automated daily scans, intuitive dashboards, and continuous maintenance and support," backed by 24/7 global support and predictive maintenance intended to flag hardware issues before they cause downtime. Multi-site scaling is a real, proven pattern — Iron Mountain runs Dexory across multiple UK warehouses on one account.
