Brightpick robots to automate order picking, consolidation and dispatch for e-grocer Rohlik Group
Brightpick has completed a nine-month pilot of its robotic solution in the Prague fulfilment centre of European e-grocer Rohlik Group.
Rohlik now plans to roll-out this out across multiple warehouses in 2023 and 2024, starting with Munich in July and continuing with Frankfurt, Vienna, Prague and other fulfilment centres.
The solution includes Brightpick Autopicker and Brightpick Dispatcher autonomous mobile robots and enables Rohlik to fully automate picking, consolidation and dispatch of orders.
Rohlik has more than 1.5 million e-grocery customers and 12 million orders per year.
Once fully deployed in the Munich warehouse, Brightpick will be able to dispatch over 1,000 order totes (bins) per hour and 5,000 completed orders per day (an order may contain multiple totes).
“Brightpick will enable us to significantly reduce our labor costs across our fulfillment network while increasing accuracy and efficiency,” says Ales Malucha, Chief Engineering Officer at the Rohlik Group. “We greatly value the flexibility and robustness of the solution.”
“We are deeply committed to helping grocers increase margins,” says Jan Zizka, CEO and Co-founder at Brightpick.
“Rohlik’s successful pilot and planned roll-out of our solution across Europe provides further validation of our solution for grocers. They are tremendously respected in Europe and we look forward to working closely with them in this next phase of deployment.”
