Brightpick announced that its Autopicker robots now enable lights-out overnight fulfillment, autonomously picking and buffering orders without human intervention, eliminating the need for overnight staffing and enabling companies to extend their operating hours at no additional cost.
“Autopicker robots are a game-changer for logistics operations seeking to expand throughput without adding cost,” says Jan Zizka, co-founder and CEO of Brightpick. “By enabling lights-out overnight operation, the toughest shift to find staff for, we help our customers maximize the productivity of their investment and unlock the full value of automation around the clock.”
Key takeaways:
· With Autopicker, warehouses can extend their operations overnight with only a small number of supervisory staff on site, reducing reliance on shift workers and temporary labor, especially during holiday peak season.
· Autopicker robots use AI-powered decision-making and a mobile robotic arm to autonomously pick individual items from shelves and totes. With advanced 3D vision and force-sensing grippers, the robots operate with human-like dexterity, navigating aisles and shelves using LiDAR sensors and AI, even in low-light environments.
· Brightpick’s Intuition AI software empowers each robot to see, think, and act with human-like responsiveness and adaptability. Intuition continuously evaluates what’s happening across the warehouse and directs each robot to its next task. Embedded within Intuition is Physical AI, a suite of proprietary AI models that enable Autopicker to understand and adapt to its surroundings with human-like judgment.
