SDI, Kindred Partner to Automate Retail Fulfillment Operations and Augment Human Labor

SDI Inc. partnered with Kindred to integrate its materials handling systems and technology with Kindred’s artificial intelligence (AI) pick-and-place robotic solutions to help customers meet increasing retail fulfillment demands year-round.

The influx in retail fulfillment continues to upheave the supply chain. But, regardless of what e-commerce looks like post-pandemic, automation is key to moving product through the chain and protection the human workforce.
