Blue Yonder offers an AI agent and a suite of AI tools for warehouse managers that predict staffing needs down to 15-minute windows, dynamically assign tasks to workers or robots, and optimize where products are stored to reduce the distance workers travel. The Warehouse Ops Agent was developed with PepsiCo and launched in May 2025; complementary tools launched in October 2025 can reduce overstaffing by up to 80%.

Details

The Warehouse Ops Agent delivers daily AI-generated operational briefings, monitors real-time changes across the warehouse floor, and surfaces recommendations for operations managers to act on. Three supporting capabilities were added in October 2025: Resource Orchestration (an embedded system that dynamically allocates workers and equipment based on task priorities, worker skill sets, and bottlenecks), Advanced Slotting (machine learning algorithms that predict order volumes to optimize where products are stored, cutting travel time for pickers), and Resource Forecasting (machine learning that predicts how many workers are needed, by role and work zone, at 15-minute intervals — reducing overstaffing by up to 80%). Blue Yonder reported that in the first ten months of 2025, its systems optimized over 23 million human tasks in warehouses.
