## Summary

Oana Jinga, co-founder and Chief Commercial Officer of Dexory, explains how her company pivoted from retail to warehouse inventory management using a 40-foot-tall autonomous mobile robot that creates a real-time 3D digital twin of warehouse environments. She details the technical advantages of floor-based scanning over drones, including safety, speed, and data richness, and discusses the operational integration and ROI claims. The episode also features Garrett Place from ifm effector, who discusses the scaling challenges of mobile robotics, the shift toward specialized applications, and the importance of industry collaboration and trust among vendors.
