Autopicker MMRs are capable of automating order picking, goods-to-person picking, assisted pallet picking, order buffering, sortation, and stock replenishment.
Provider of warehouse automation systems for order fulfillment Brightpick recently announced the installation of 37 Autopicker multi-purpose robots at Superior Communications, a North American distributor of mobile accessories, to automate their distribution center in LaVergne, Tenn.
The fleet of Autopicker robots will handle all aspects of the fulfillment process, from picking and buffering orders of screen protectors, phone cases, accessories, and telecommunication equipment, to consolidating and dispatching shipments to retail stores.
“We are committed to delivering a faster and more reliable retail experience to our valued customers,” said Solomon Chen, Superior Communications CEO. “Working with Brightpick was an easy choice since there will be no disruption to our business model and we could purchase the solution via RaaS. The Autopickers will provide us with higher throughput and reduce our fulfillment costs.”
Autopicker is a multi-purpose mobile manipulation robot (MMR) capable of automating a wide range of warehouse workflows, seamlessly moving between tasks and workstations.
Each autonomous mobile robot (AMR) base is equipped with a robotic arm, 3D computer vision, lidar, and AI to perform complex tasks with human-like precision.
In addition to fully autonomous order picking, Autopicker supports goods-to-person (GTP) picking for bulky or non-robotically pickable items, assisted pallet picking for fast-moving SKUs, order buffering, sortation, and stock replenishment.
When paired with Brightpick’s new Giraffe robot, Autopicker can store and retrieve items from heights of up to 20 feet (6 meters).
Superior Communications’s robots will be rolled out in two phases to ensure optimal integration. Phase one will introduce 19 Autopickers into Superior’s operations in the summer of 2025. Following successful integration and evaluation of the initial phase, an additional 18 Autopickers will be installed.
Once the 37 Autopickers are in place, Brightpick said Superior Communications will be able to pick more than 4,000 items per hour and up to 88,000 picks per day, supported by two to three warehouse associates per shift.
“We’re excited to work with Superior Communications and provide them with an easy-to-install mobile robot solution that automates the entire fulfillment process end-to-end,” said Jan Zizka, Brightpick co-founder and CEO. “Once the Autopickers are installed, Superior Communications will be able to lower costs, ship more orders and improve customer service.”
