Firm Deploys Robots to Speed Online Shopping
France 24, February 15, 2023
Israeli firm 1MRobotics has built a 320-square-foot storefront in Tel Aviv, where staff have been replaced by robots to speed up online shopping fulfillment. The robots can maneuver around the small space, grabbing and packaging items. The building is equipped with a streetside hatch where couriers and shoppers can pick up online orders. 1MRobotics' Eyal Yair said a small robot-staffed storefront is more economical for businesses that handle dozens of orders a day. Yair said meeting increased demand for fast order processing and deliveries "requires small warehouses, very close to the clients, and at the end of the day, these small warehouses have to be automated." Yair said the robots and the custom containers that serve as mini-warehouses will soon be deployed in Brazil for an alcohol shop, in Germany for minimarkets, and in South Africa for a cellphone company.
