Dematic Enhances Scentsy Fulfillment Center With AutoStore(TM) and Warehouse Execution Software
Scentsy's 160,000-square-foot facility features Dematic Warehouse Execution System (WES) software with an AutoStore system (with 20,800 product bins, 100 R5 robots, 16 carousel picking ports, and two conveyor ports) and a pick-to-cart system. The operation performs automated piece picking for e-commerce order fulfillment and allows Scentsy to increase picking capacity to 450 units per hour, nearly a 50% improvement from the 300 units per hour from its previous manual pick line.
'Like our customers, we continuously evolve and adapt. To remain at the forefront and exceed expectations, we transformed our approach so we could ship products faster, more accurately, and with better inventory visibility,' says Paul Klassen, Scentsy chief operating officer. 'Dematic has been a trusted partner throughout this journey, working with us to provide a solution, not just another system. Their expertise helped us embrace automation, enhance efficiency, and better prepare for the future.'
Scentsy's inventory continues to grow from frequent new product launches and stocking of discontinued scents. The Dematic solution maximizes storage space, maintains consistent processing speeds, and adapts quickly to fluctuations in demand. Customers receive accurate on-time orders, even during peak periods or new product launches. The solution helps conserve natural resources by reducing paper waste as employees access order information digitally instead of using printed tickets. Additionally, the efficient storage and retrieval process of the AutoStore system minimizes energy use, supporting broader eco-friendly best practices..
'The trust Scentsy has in Dematic underscores our dedication to providing innovative, scalable solutions that drive business growth,' says Mike Oren, Dematic senior vice president of sales for the Americas region. 'This partnership is a powerful example of how technology can transform operations and create exceptional customer experiences.'

Ai4 2025 Ignites AI Innovation at MGM Grand, Las Vegas - August 11-13
Over 8,000 AI Leaders Converge for Three Days of Groundbreaking Insights, High-Impact Networking, and Future-Shaping Conversations LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESS Newswire / August 20, 2025 / Ai4, North America's largest artificial intelligence industry event, successfully concluded its 8th conference this week at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, drawing over 8,000 executives, technologists, startups, investors, policymakers, and researchers from more than 85 countries. Over the course of three days, attendees explored AI's transformative impact across industries-including finance, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, government, and education-through 600+ speakers, 250+ exhibitors, and 50 dedicated tracks. 'The future of AI in America isn't coming-it's already here,' said Michael Weiss, Co-Founder of Ai4. 'Over the last three days, we welcomed leaders from every corner of the globe to explore what's next. Breakthroughs in self-driving cars, drug discovery, and software development are not theoretical-they are happening right now. The conversations at Ai4 are shaping the future. Just as we adapted to computers, smartphones, and the internet, it's time to do the same with AI, because AI will touch every part of our lives.' The conference opened with a powerful keynote from Randi Weingarten, President of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), interviewed by Jason Abbruzzese of NBC News. Speaking to a packed audience in the MGM Grand Arena, Weingarten outlined the AFT's strategy to safeguard education from AI-related risks-emphasizing state-level regulation in the absence of federal legislation. 'I think it's going to be state by state,' she noted, citing concerns over chatbot security, privacy rights, deepfake content, and the erosion of critical thinking skills in students. She also highlighted the AFT's successful push to prevent a proposed 10-year moratorium on state AI legislation, ensuring near-term safeguards could be enacted. On day two Geoffrey Hinton, 2024 Nobel Prize winner and widely recognized as the 'Godfather of AI,' delivered a sobering vision of AI's trajectory. Warning that AI could surpass human intelligence within 5-20 years, Hinton proposed programming AI with 'maternal instincts' to ensure it cares for humanity rather than controls it. 'If it's not going to parent me, it's going to replace me,' Hinton warned, stressing that without such safeguards, human control over superintelligent AI may prove impossible. On Day three Dr. Fei-Fei Li, Stanford Professor and Co-Director of the Human-Centered AI Institute, offered a more optimistic perspective-seeing AI as a partner in human potential. In conversation with Matt Egan of CNN, she emphasized empathy, curiosity, and responsibility as core drivers, focusing on strong oversight and human-first design over simulated day also featured Jeetu Patel, Cisco's President & Chief Product Officer, in a fireside chat with Egan on 'The Catalyst for Driving an Agentic AI Revolution,' exploring how enterprises can secure and scale autonomous AI systems. Other featured voices include Congressman Robert Bresnahan Jr. who addressed the rising electricity demands of AI, advocating for accelerated infrastructure development while protecting consumers from cost burdens-especially in districts experiencing major data center expansion. Ai4 2025 offered a breadth of specialized programming, including: Over 250 cutting-edge AI vendors showcased solutions spanning AI applications and agents, cloud infrastructure, security and governance, industry-specific transformation tools, and generative capabilities. Live demos-including the crowd-favorite Unitree robotics display-brought AI innovations to life, allowing attendees to engage directly with product teams. Participants praised Ai4 2025 for its quality, diversity, and scale: 'It's been amazing to see Ai4 grow from a 300-person gathering in Brooklyn into the world's leading AI industry event with nearly 8,000 in attendance,' said Marcus Jecklin, Co-Founder of Ai4. 'This community continues to inspire us, and we can't wait to build on this momentum next year.' About Ai4 Ai4 2025 reaffirmed its position as the AI industry's marquee event-a catalyst for innovation, collaboration, and real-world AI adoption. The conference returns August 4-6, 2026, at The Venetian in Las Vegas.
