Bristol-based fulfilment provider Huboo will use UK-manufactured robotics and AI technology from BotsAndUs to optimise operations, realise maximised efficiency and reduce costs.
Huboo’s “Hub Model” creates micro-warehouses within warehouses, which are managed by teams of warehouse operatives who act as an extension of the brands that they’re fulfilling online orders for.
The robots scan the entire warehouse, building up a digital model for real time analysis and insights on storage of goods in the space, which will feed into an optimisation programme.
Oana Jinga, BotsAndUs co-founder, said: “Importantly, it’s about making life easier for humans rather than replacing them from operations. Huboo have created an amazing environment and culture, where people can be authentic. They make bold decisions with a focus on growing the business and being leaders in their field.
“We are both committed to supporting the industry and our clients on that journey. Our autonomous robotics platforms and computer vision will revolutionise acceptance and tracking processes in warehouses.”
According to Huboo, it will use the robotics and AI-powered systems to ensure it optimises warehouse space, which in turn will assist it to reduce costs and improve performance.
Paul Dodd, CTO and co-founder of Huboo, added: “During the pandemic, we have clearly demonstrated the strength of our full-stack fulfilment solution at a time when the industry was facing severe challenges. Our unique Hub Model system has certainly made us stand out in our competitive industry.
“We’re proud of our fulfilment service that puts people at the heart of everything we do, and we’re always looking at ways to make life easier and better for our brilliant people.”
BotsAndUs (Stand 326) will be at IntraLogisteX 2022 on 29 & 30 March at the Coventry Building Society Arena. Go to www.intralogistex.co.uk to learn more.
