In our logistics operation dozens of drivers report to our warehouse every day to load or unload goods. This check-in process is currently mostly manual leading to waiting times miscommunication (partly due to language barriers) and increased workload for our staff.
To make this process smarter and more customer-friendly we are exploring the possibilities of an AI-driven reception kiosk. A kiosk that allows drivers to check in independently have a conversation in their own language enter reference numbers and ultimately be directed to the correct dock or waiting area. The system is still in the exploratory phase and thats where you come in.
What will you do as an intern
- Map out the current driver check-in process including bottlenecks and workload.
- Investigate the minimum data we need from drivers (e.g. reference number carrier loading/unloading information).
- Explore AI possibilities such as speech recognition language detection and natural interaction (think ChatGPT technology or voice bots).
- Develop an initial concept or prototype of the AI kiosk considering the interface conversation structure and required systems.
- Research the technical (im)possibilities of integration with existing systems (such as dock planning) even if these are not yet fully implemented.
