This is the world's most advanced e-commerce warehouse,

run entirely by AI robots.

This entire operation is managed by 48 BrightPick Autopicker robots.

And these robots, they handle everything from replenishing inventory to robotically picking orders and getting them ready for dispatch.

And that's how this facility,

operated by leading sports nutrition retailer,

The Feed, is able to work 24-7 and pick 50,000 items per day,

all while just using a handful of actual people.

That's right.

This is the future of e-commerce fulfillment.

And I am going to be taking you behind the scenes

to give you a closer look at the cutting-edge technology and processes that make all of this possible,

from robotic picking to human picking,

order buffering, packout, and stock replenishment.

We're even going to hear from the people who work inside this warehouse

and hear directly from them about what it's like to work alongside these robots.

So you'll definitely want to stay tuned until the end so you don't miss out on that.

At the heart of any e-commerce operation is picking customer orders.

Now, in a traditional warehouse setting,

that also happens to be one of the most grueling jobs.

I mean, imagine walking two marathons a week just to fulfill customer orders.

Well, here, we do things a little bit differently.

Think of these BrightPick auto-pickers as humans with carts moving in and out of the warehouse aisles,

autonomously picking and consolidating orders without ever getting tired or making a mistake.

So here's how it works.

The robot starts by grabbing an empty box called a tote,

which is where it will collect picked items from one or multiple customer orders.

It then heads into the storage area,

picks the necessary items from the storage totes,

and places them into the order totes,

like a diligent little shopper checking every item off of its list.

And the robot does this repeatedly until the entire order is picked and ready to go.

So how is it that these robots know exactly what to pick and when?

Well, that's all made possible by AI.

Using the data from this 3D scanner,

the AI maps out all of the individual items inside the storage tote

and identifies the optimal picking point for each item based on its size, shape, and form.

And the best part is that these robots,

they don't care what they're picking.

Whether it's a bottle, a polybag,

or something completely new, the AI technology ensures that these robots can reliably pick items,

even if they've never seen them before.

And the best part is,

let's say this robot does fumble a pick,

well, it's actually going to learn from its mistake using machine learning and improve for its next attempt.

Talk about smart.

Now, inevitably, there are going to be some items that these robots just can't pick on their own,

whether that's due to a lack of a smooth,

grippable surface, excessive weight, or an unstable center of gravity.

Well, that is where these good-to-person stations come into play.

These stations function similarly to the robotic picking,

only instead of a robotic arm moving items from one tote to the next,

A human operator steps in assisted by this intuitive user interface found right here on each robot.

And what's impressive about this setup is

that each station can handle up to four robots at one time from all four sides,

ensuring that there is zero idle time between picks for the operator.

Working with the robots is a lot different than our old location.

At our old warehouse, we had to walk around with a box and manually pick everything.

and sometimes the boxes were empty and we'd have to go find things.

So now it's much more automated.

We don't obviously have to do that anymore.

The robots do all the picking for us,

and we can just focus on packing and getting the product out the door.

Training on the system was pretty seamless.

I actually don't really remember training other than we just kind of wait for the robot to approach us,

push the button, and send it on its way.

So now let's talk about the final picking process known as pellet picking,

which is meant for fast-moving items and bundles.

Imagine you have a few best-selling products,

or you're running a promotion with a free gift for every order.

Well, storing these items within the automated system wouldn't make sense

because you'd be replenishing them almost as fast as you were picking them out,

kind of like trying to refill a leaky bathtub.

So instead, these items are stored manually in cases or on cellies,

the same way they arrive to the warehouse.

Here is where human workers step in to pick the items directly from the pallet,

and then they will place them into the order totes,

which are carried by the robot.

The auto pickers pull up to the designated pallet positions,

request items that they need on the tablet,

and the human operator quickly fetches them from behind.

This method not only speeds up the picking process for these high demand items,

but it also makes replenishment incredibly simple.

Now this also works great for kitting,

where you can have designated stations to assemble custom customer bundles that the robots then pick up.

So as you can see,

the beauty in the BrightPick solution is the seamless integration of all of these components,

from robotic picking to good-to-person and pallet picking,

all within the same system.

For example, Bolt here could start off his day with a few robotic picks,

then move on over to G2P picking,

and then finish his day by handling some pallet picks,

making this entire operation seamless and efficient.

Once an order has been fully picked,

one of two things will happen.

Either the robot can take the order tote directly to pack out,

or if the order isn't ready to go out immediately,

the robot can temporarily buffer the order tote inside the system and then retrieve it for pack out when it's needed.

This feature offers two big advantages.

100

First off, it allows the robots to continue picking orders overnight while everybody else is asleep,

101

ensuring that the orders are ready to be packed and shipped as soon as that first morning shift comes in.

102

And second, it helps to smooth out the picking volumes throughout the day,

103

reducing the huge spikes that tend to happen during peak hours.

104

Both of these benefits enable this fulfillment setter to ship out more orders every day

105

without having to spend more money on automation or labor.

106

Now we're in the packout area,

107

which is the final step before shipping orders out to customers.

108

You can see that these packout stations are highly flexible,

109

making it super easy to reconfigure them or add more stations.

110

This adaptability combined with the order buffer makes ramping up or down for peak season incredibly straightforward.

111

And check this out.

112

This warehouse features a fully automated packaging machine.

113

It will take the picked items and automatically package them into cartons.

114

Honestly, I could watch this thing work all day.

115

We were able to go from,

116

you know, 50 to 100 people to completely automated with the BrightPick solution.

117

Now, we had homes for all of the people that were already working here,

118

so we didn't have to remove any staff because the business was growing fast enough,

119

but we really could almost stop hiring.

120

Like, when the police said,

121

wait, we don't have to do all this walking anymore,

122

and we don't need to go pick this stuff,

123

and now we can focus on finishing orders properly,

124

doing the transfer from the BrightPick system to our automated packaging solution.

125

They were thrilled.

126

So now that you've seen how orders are picked and packed,

127

you're probably wondering, how is it that we replenish the inventory in storage?

128

Well, that all starts here at the decanting station.

129

This is where human operators will transfer items from the cases into the individual storage totes.

130

The robots then take these totes and they autonomously move them back into storage.

131

The robots use a technique called dynamic slotting to strategically place these totes into optimal storage locations.

132

For example, items that are meant for human picking are going to be stored closer to the goods-to-person stations,

133

while fast-moving items are going to be stored closer to the pack-out stations to minimize travel time.

134

This system can store up to 11,000 totes using 10-foot-tall shelving,

135

along with the additional pallet storage for the pallet picking.

136

Now, these shelves, they can be extended higher to increase storage capacity further,

137

or you can split the storage totes into smaller compartments to maximize utilization.

138

At the core of the BrightPick philosophy is simplicity.

139

Let the robots do the heavy lifting while everything else in this warehouse remains low-tech and straightforward.

140

I mean, take the shelving, for instance.

141

It's cheap, simple to assemble,

142

and it can easily be moved or reconfigured.

143

There's no conveyors, and there's no complicated wire guides or QR codes on the floor for navigation.

144

These robots, they can navigate all on their own,

145

using LiDAR and AI, all while maintaining incredible precision,

146

passing within less than an inch of each other and their surroundings at speeds up to five miles an hour.

147

And what's more is these robots,

148

they'll stop if they see you,

149

meaning there's no need for any safety sensing,

150

and any certified technician or employee can step in without having to pause the entire operation.

151

All of this makes this system incredibly easy to install,

152

scale, or even move to a different warehouse if needed.

153

The brain behind the entire operation is the BrightPick Intuition software.

154

This software orchestrates all robot workflows,

155

directing each robot on what task to complete and when.

156

It also optimizes the travel paths for each of these robots for maximum speed and efficiency,

157

ensuring that these robots take the shortest path possible without blocking or slowing each other down.

158

Think of BrightPick intuition as the conductor of an orchestra,

159

ensuring that every robot plays its part in perfect harmony.

160

Additionally, the software tracks every tote and skew within the system,

161

maintaining full visibility and control over inventory.

162

It's connected directly to the warehouse's WMS system,

163

and it's constantly exchanging order and inventory data,

164

ensuring smooth and efficient operations.

165

And that is a wrap on our tour.

166

Thank you so much for joining me here on this journey into the future of e-commerce fulfillment.
