Berkshire Grey Unveils Next Generation of Intelligent Enterprise Robotic Picking and Advanced Mobility Solutions

June 18, 2021
SupplyChainBrain

Berkshire Grey, a provider of AI-enabled robotic solutions that automate supply chain processes, has launched the next generation of Intelligent Enterprise Robotic picking and mobility solutions.This new generation of mobile robots offers increased fulfillment throughput at a lower cost point to enable shorter delivery times and support a larger number of SKUs. Berkshire Grey’s intelligent fleets harness the power of AI to orchestrate tens to thousands of mobile robots to pick, organize, and deliver items for a wide variety of customer and store orders.

“Rapid delivery for virtually any product is now table stakes for fulfillment and the market has not offered powerful solutions to enable most businesses to meet this need,” said Kevin Prouty, Vice President at IDC. “Companies like Berkshire Grey that have deep IP can have a large advantage in orchestrating tens to thousands of mobile robots, to pick millions of SKUs, and enable a company to significantly accelerate throughput at an attractive capital expenditure. Innovations like these help companies to meet increasing consumer expectations and to do so in a competitive fashion.”

The AI-based orchestration software enables many robots to work together in a performant fashion, where robots improve and learn over time, and where the activities carried out by different robots and modules are coordinated. Berkshire Grey’s intelligent fleets of mobile robots can:

  • Integrate robotic picking with mobile robots to increase automation levels and fulfillment speeds.
  • Transform any facility into a high throughput fulfillment system with minimal disruption to existing operations.
  • Handle greater SKU coverage than legacy systems
  • Dually utilize storage locations as robot highways and handle diverse SKUs directly – the new robots can rotate and adjust positions, pass under shelves and conveyor belts, and function without a tray or tote container – all of which enable speedier throughput and reduced process costs.

“We developed this next generation of IER solutions to achieve higher throughput at lower cost in a third of the deployment time,” said Steve Johnson, President and COO at Berkshire Grey. “Berkshire Grey’s industrial-grade mobile robots work together at unprecedented scale to deliver a step-change in speed and intelligence for any fulfillment center. Best of all, our software gets smarter over time, speeding efficiencies, while enabling maximum flexibility for businesses to meet rapidly changing consumer demands.”
