Supply fresh food around the clock and error-free  

Freshness is perceived as quality in the market, and quality results in sales.  People simply want more choices, cheaper prices, fresher produce and faster delivery. To meet these increased demands, fast and accurate delivery is a must. 

Throughout the grocery supply chain, fresh produce must be moved quickly and systematically, which is why it is stored, distributed, and brought to stores at the peak of freshness.  

When order speeds and accuracy depend entirely on how fast people can pick and prepare everything by hand, this can be a challenge for retailers and warehouses with a manual setup. Once orders are picked up and placed on store shelves, the produce has already lost its freshness. 

With limited sales windows, fast order processing enhances the freshness and shelf life of perishable products. In just six hours or less, you can have all supermarket orders ready for delivery! 

Despite the speed of operation, the robots handle the products gently, which is an important factor for fruit and vegetables, many of which are susceptible to bruising. And, the robotic system takes care of the complete storage and picking process—all we need to do is introduce the stores’ orders and pallets of produce. It couldn’t be simpler.
