Ocado Technology has launched a state-of-the-art robotic pick and pack solution, made for the demanding needs of the grocery sector. Designed for efficiency, On-Grid Robotic Pick solves one of the most complex fulfilment challenges, automating the picking and packing of grocery orders. Robotic arms need to be able to pick tens of thousands of products of varying shapes, sizes, weights, and fragility and then pack them densely in bags with human precision and accuracy.
Rigidly programmed robotic systems that are used in other industries are simply not fit for purpose for the unique demands of the grocery space. On-Grid Robotic Pick combines cutting-edge machine vision, deep-reinforcement-learning and advantage sensing, to pick and pack items without any prior knowledge of their dimensions, making live smart decisions.
On-Grid Robotic Pick integrates with the Ocado “Hive” solution and collaborates seamlessly with Ocado robotic logistic fleets, without the need for human interaction. With the ability to pick directly from the grid, opens up new opportunities to optimise warehouse design. The technology is a catalyst that enables greater throughput from the same footprint. During peak hours, it assembles customers order and off-peak, it can consolidate and organise stock. On-Grid Robotic Pick advances robotic automation and AI.
To effectively run automated robotics on a system, you need the highest performing hardware. BSI architect and supply various types of AI optimised server solutions, running on GPUs, which can all be configured to your exact specification.
