Berkshire Grey, a robotics and AI company that develops retail, ecommerce, and logistics fulfilment automation, has unveiled Robotic Induction Station (RIS) solutions to automate a critical operational task to counter labour constraints, enhance social distancing in distribution, and maximise use of existing sorters and fixed material handling assets.
These sorters are often the crucial processing element for ecommerce and apparel fulfilment operations. RIS customers will typically see 25 per cent – 50 per cent increases in throughput capacity without incurring additional labour. RIS solutions are offered via both capital purchase and Robots as a Service (RaaS). RaaS makes the systems accessible to enterprises on a subscription basis without upfront capital costs.Berkshire Grey, a robotics and AI company that develops retail, ecommerce, and logistics fulfilment automation, has unveiled Robotic Induction Station (RIS) solutions to automate a critical operational task to counter labour constraints, enhance social distancing in distribution, and maximise use of existing sorters and fixed material handling assets.#
The core of each Robotic Induction Station is fast, reliable robotic each picking from feeder totes or belts. Stations are compatible with a variety of transport, sortation, and packing solutions including auto-baggers, auto-boxers, and traditional tilt-tray, bomb bay, cross-belt, and pouch sorters. A range of RIS configurations are available. Stations outfitted with Berkshire Grey’s patented HyperScanner omni-directional optical identification technology handle pick and place from mixed-item totes and belt presentations. Base models support picking from simpler divided-SKU and single-SKU totes.
Berkshire Grey RIS solutions leverage the picking technology, built on advanced machine vision and machine learning, that is core to all the company’s robotic automation solutions. RIS systems have industry leading speed, accuracy, and merchandise compatibility making them suitable for handling apparel, health and beauty items, electronics, housewares, packaged food, childcare products, pet care items, and other general merchandise. The RIS solution set is part of Berkshire Grey’s portfolio of omni-channel fulfilment solutions which also include goods-to-robot stations, robotic ecommerce fulfilment, robotic store replenishment, and robotic parcel sortation systems.
“Customers are challenged to keep up with the demands placed on their supply chains by today’s omni-channel consumers, and ecommerce fulfilment is one of their primary pain points. Berkshire Grey has invented a portfolio of intelligent robotic solutions to deliver value by addressing the spectrum of operating processes within ecommerce fulfilment centres,” said Peter Van Alstine, senior vice president and GM for Retail at Berkshire Grey. “We’ve engineered our Robotic Induction Stations to integrate with a wide range of traditional sortation and packaging applications to bring new levels of efficiency and capacity utilisation to existing operations.”
Berkshire Grey deploys intelligent robotic solutions to automate tasks never before performed by machines in commercial settings. Berkshire Grey’s portfolio of omni-channel solutions automatically pick, pack, and sort individual items, inner packs, cases, and parcels to automate warehouse, distribution, and micro-fulfilment operations.
