Warehouse automation solution provider Brightpick Robots has declared a six-month pilot of its artificial intelligence-powered robots at Rohlik’s fulfillment centre in Prague a success. 

European e-grocer Rohlik will now roll out Brightpick equipment across multiple European warehouses in 2023 and 2024, Brightpick says in a statement.

The rollout will begin with Munich in July 2023 and continuing with Frankfurt, Vienna, Prague and other fulfillment centres.

Once fully deployed in the Munich warehouse, Brightpick will be able to pick, consolidate and dispatch more 1,000 order totes (bins) per hour and complete 5,000 orders per day.

Brightpick chief executive and co-founder Jan Zizka says: “We are deeply committed to helping grocers increase margins.

“Rohlik’s successful pilot and planned rollout of our Brighpick solution across Europe provides further validation of our solution for grocers. 

“They are tremendously respected in Europe and we look forward to working closely with them in this next phase of deployment.”

Rohlik includes well-known brands Rohlik.cz in the Czech Republic, Knuspr.de in Germany, Gurkerl.at in Austria, Kifli.hu in Hungary and Sezamo.ro in Romania. 

Group chief engineering officer Ales Malucha says: “Brightpick will enable us to significantly reduce our labour costs across our fulfillment network while increasing accuracy and efficiency.” 

The fully autonomous Brightpick robotic solution can take less than a month to deploy and can reduce picking labour costs by 95% and order fulfillment costs by half. 

Brightpick is part of Erlanger, Kentucky-based Photoneo Brightpick Group, which has more than 300 employees and 5,000 technology installations across the United States, Europe and Asia.
