Description of assignment

Ever wondered how artificial intelligence can transform real-time logistics operations? In modern automated warehouses, production controllers lose valuable time clicking through complex microservices, filters, and multi-step menus just to track down carriers, stock items, or system exceptions. This daily friction causes cognitive fatigue and slows down issue resolution. We want to revolutionize this experience by bringing conversational AI straight to the warehouse floor!

In this internship, you will design, develop, and prototype an AI-powered natural language interface integrated into our Warehouse Execution System (WES). You will explore how an intelligent AI orchestrator can instantly fetch multi-service data, resolve naming discrepancies, and simplify daily workflows for operators. If time permits, you can even explore AI feature opportunities to help controllers actively solve operational issues on the fly.

During this initiative, you will be guided by a UX designer and a front-end developer, collaborating closely with peers in an agile, project-driven environment to bring AI innovation into practical warehouse operations.
