Canada’s Darwynn taps robotic and automation technologies at new fulfilment facility in Ontario

Ontario, Canada-based Darwynn has debuted a new fulfilment facility.

Located in Scarborough, this spans over 45,000 sq ft. and features automatic storage retrieval systems (ASRS), automated guided vehicles (AGVs), and the latest in conveyance technology.

The facility is operated by a software platform that provides data and analytics for e-commerce businesses to gain insight into the entire fulfilment process. At full capacity, it will be able to fulfil approximately 10,000 orders per day.

As a multi-tenant space, numerous brands and businesses can leverage the automation, robotics and technical capabilities of the facility, designed to optimise inventory density to meet the needs of both businesses and consumers alike.

“We’re committed to improving the fulfilment experience for our customers," says Reza Bafandeh, CEO at Darwynn.

"We've developed an order collaboration platform that utilises the latest robotic and automation technologies to help Canadian businesses reach consumers across Canada. I'm excited to announce our successful deployment today which has been the result of tireless work over the last several years."

"I am incredibly excited for the successful deployment of the Darwynn fulfilment solution" says Wynn Xie, President at Darwynn. "This exciting milestone marks the next step on our journey of what will be many deployments of our solution across North America as we continue to expand our network."

The Darwynn network now includes four facilities nationwide, allowing for local to local delivery to over 80% of the Canadian population.

In addition to the new facility, Darwynn will also be expanding its physical footprint as the company took possession of its Montreal facility on 1st February. 

Located in Montreal, Quebec the 100,000 sq. ft facility will utilise the firm’s fulfilment platform and automation hardware and will be operational in late 2023.
