Overview

Berkshire Grey’s Robotic Pick solutions provide AI-enabled robotic pick-and-place systems designed to automate order fulfillment, bin-to-bin transfers, and auto-induction into conveyors, autobaggers, or auto-boxers. The solution combines computer vision, machine learning, advanced grippers, and configurable pick cells (BG RPC) to reduce labor dependency, increase throughput, and enable modular deployments across omni-channel warehouses and store replenishment environments. Typical benefits include large reductions in operating expenses and significant throughput gains for high-volume eCommerce and retail operations.

Features and Capabilities

• Universal Pick Cell: A configurable pick cell that handles bin-to-bin transfers, tote singulation, or direct induction into conveyors and outbound packlines.
• Advanced Gripping & End-effectors: Multiple gripper technologies (vacuum, finger-based, adaptive) enable reliable handling of diverse SKU shapes and materials.
• Machine Vision & AI: Real-time vision systems and machine learning models identify, locate, orient, and re-orient items before picking.
• Integrated Fulfillment Execution: Extends beyond picking to include scanning, checking, error handling, packing, and auto-induction to downstream equipment such as autobaggers, auto-boxers, and conveyors.
• Modular & Scalable Deployments: Configurable cells integrate with conveyor-based systems or mobile robots to scale throughput with minimal fixed infrastructure.
• Throughput & Labor Impact: Delivers measurable throughput improvements and reduces labor costs and dependency across warehouse operations.
• System Integration: Integrates with WMS, ERP, and material handling systems for orchestrated automation throughout fulfillment workflows.
• Error Handling & Quality Control: Built-in verification, scanning, and re-orientation functions reduce order errors and product returns.
• Use Cases: Suitable for eCommerce order fulfillment, pick-and-pack warehouses, store replenishment, auto-bagging, and parcel handling or sortation environments.
