Cross-brand robot collaboration launches

THIS INTEGRATED solution deploys end-to-end robotic automation solutions for retail and eCommerce customers looking to maximise productivity and throughput while addressing growing labour shortages.
There is a growing trend emphasising inter-brand robot compatibility and seamless integration with other warehouse processes.
“Partnering with Berkshire Grey allows our customers to reap the benefits of enterprise-level robotic automation across some of their most business-critical supply chain processes,” says Mike Johnson, president at Locus Robotics. “Berkshire Grey and Locus Robotics have been operating in the supply chain industry for many years now, and it’s great to see us join forces to deliver seamlessly integrated, proven, and impactful automation solutions that help our customers grow and succeed, now and into the future.”
