Berkshire Grey, Inc. and Hy-Tek Intralogistics, announce their formal partnership and celebrate the successful integration and installation of a highly-automated system for their customer, Bealls, Inc. Despite persistent global supply chain issues, just 8 months after Bealls selected BG, the Berkshire Grey's Robotic Shuttle Product Sortation (BG RSPS) systems were live in the Bealls Jacksonville, Texas facility sorting items bound for stores. The 400,000-square-foot facility utilizes the BG RSPS solution to enable its operators to pick, sort, and pack 1,000s of items per hour. As a result, replenishment of its 575+ bealls stores has increased significantly over the past months, with early productivity improvements of 33%+ versus their previous approach.
Highlights of the project include: Greater visibility, transparency, and insight into KPI's and key facility metrics. Network redundancy and increased processing power. Labor optimization within the new facility to create material cost savings. Faster replenishment to all retail stores, with multiline orders per pick. Increase in units per carton, resulting in increased throughput and decreased transportation requirements.
