Online Supermarkets Build Fully Automated Innovations With AI and Robots

UK online supermarket Orcado Group innovates with a fully automated logistics system where AI robots pick, pack and deliver quickly.

Started in 2000 with a single website without an offline store, real-time monitoring of customer orders and inventory with 2,300 robots and automation algorithms.

Simultaneously with the order, the robot quickly transports the product to the packaging stand, packs it, and sends it to the delivery vehicle to deliver the customer through the optimal route.

Retailer says new groups of customers have become used to online grocery buying in pandemic. Ocado was serving 777,000 active customers by 30 May, a 22% increase year on year.
