The impact of artificial intelligence on the automation of warehouse processes in Ukraine

Abstract

Modern logistics in Ukraine is undergoing significant transformations due to the introduction of artificial intelligence technologies that contribute to the automation of warehouse processes, increasing the efficiency and accuracy of operations. Growing cargo volumes, the complexity of supply chains and the requirements for fast delivery stimulate enterprises to use intelligent systems for forecasting demand, optimizing inventories and managing resources. Research into the role of artificial intelligence in warehouse logistics allows us to assess its impact on productivity, cost savings and increasing the competitiveness of Ukrainian companies. The purpose of the article is to study the impact of artificial intelligence on the automation of warehouse processes in Ukraine. Methods. The study employed critical analysis of scientific sources, synthesis, tabular presentation, and scientific abstraction to identify key trends and patterns in the application of artificial intelligence in logistics operations. Results. It has been established that the introduction of modern technological solutions not only changes the organization of material flows, but also ensures the rational use of human, financial and energy resources at all stages of the logistics chain. Thanks to the digitalization of warehouse processes, enterprises can comprehensively analyze data, predict needs and quickly respond to changes in the market environment. The introduction of artificial intelligence technologies not only transforms the strategic management of warehouse logistics but also directly affects the effectiveness of operations. The impact of artificial intelligence on the robotization of warehouse processes in Ukraine is assessed, and the key functional areas of its application are outlined, such as demand forecasting, inventory management, improved storage and order picking, monitoring and quality control, as well as automation of transport and manipulation operations. Conclusions. The introduction of artificial intelligence technologies into the warehouse logistics system contributes to the overall increase in the efficiency of supply chains in Ukraine, optimization of resource use and strengthening the competitive positions of Ukrainian enterprises in the national and international markets.
