Berkshire Grey, a developer of AI-enabled robotic solutions that automate supply chain processes, is partnering with Logistex, a system integrator and warehouse management system provider, to help UK companies grow despite the labour shortages and logistics challenges.
This partnership combines AI-enabled robotic automation from Berkshire Grey with experienced system design and integration services from Logistex to deliver warehouse robotics to e-commerce companies, retailers, and third-party logistics providers.
“Berkshire Grey’s robotic solution portfolio is incredibly robust. By addressing some of the most labour-intensive warehouse processes and handling the broadest range of SKUs, their systems can solve operational challenges across our customer base,” said Andy Branch, COO at Logistex.
“Logistex has a long history of delivering transformative solutions, and across industries we are seeing more customers ready to leverage intelligent robotic automation. That’s why we’re partnering with Berkshire Grey — to solve real challenges with robotic solutions that deliver value at our customers’ warehouses and facilities today.”
As more companies feel the pressures of e-commerce growth, enhanced consumer expectations, and the evolving labour shortage, Berkshire Grey said it AI-powered robotic solutions fill the gap. The company offers a range of robotic automation solutions that can increase fulfilment throughput by up to 3X and improve labour efficiency by up to 70%.
While Logistex, an established company in traditional material handling and warehouse management systems, is evolving its portfolio through this partnership to help companies streamline processes, improve employee productivity, and deliver flexible solutions that scale.
“The demand for innovation to address operational challenges plaguing supply chains brought on by new connected consumer buying behaviours for eCommerce and omnichannel purchasing is very strong in the UK, and Berkshire Grey has the solutions the market needs to compete,” said Neil Berry, SVP and general manager for EMEA at Berkshire Grey.
“Partnering with Logistex allows us to deliver a comprehensive robotic automation portfolio to more customers faster, accelerate the adoption of AI and robotics across the UK market, and enable joint customers to rapidly realise the value of robotic automation.”
