Market trends and business prospects

Commentary by David Edwards on November 4, 2021

Berkshire Grey is an artificial intelligence robot solution provider that automates supply chain processes. It has launched a Robot Shuttle Product Sorting (RSPS) solution for order fulfillment.

The system automates store replenishment, distribution order processing, box cross docking, sorting and packaging, and supports filling in e-commerce orders through stores and in-person shopping.

RSPS can increase the processing capacity and throughput of existing operations without increasing labor, help adjust the size of store inventory, and support the realization of e-commerce from store to scale. After a series of successful installations by major US retailers, the solution is now generally available for global deployment.

E-commerce sales are increasingly completed by physical stores, and by 2021, more than 80% of all retail sales, including e-commerce, will come from physical stores.

Savvy retailers are driving growth by adjusting e-commerce and in-store customer experience, improving store choices, and adding special offers to attract consumers to purchase exclusive products from popular brands and attractive prices.

These growth strategies have put considerable pressure on the traditional distribution business that handles store replenishment, distribution, and online purchase-in-store pickup orders.

Berkshire Grey's RSPS is a fully integrated system supported by core AI software, enabling distribution centers to use existing labor to improve order processing at existing facilities. RSPS can be used as a standalone module, combined with other advanced Berkshire Gray technology, or combined with existing or third-party systems.

This enables retailers, grocery stores, and 3PL to be more competitive, increase throughput, and drive growth in the face of labor shortages. RSPS has been deployed in major retailers and can:

Tom Wagner, CEO of Berkshire Grey, said: "Our AI Robotic Shuttle Product Sorting (RSPS) solution supports sales practices that drive retail growth while improving the operating model of distribution centers—even in the workforce. This is also true during periods of shortage."

With systems used in multiple industries today, including e-commerce, same-day grocery, package handling, and retail, Berkshire Gray is a recognized and trusted leader in advanced automation.
