amazing progress on logistics automation

“Chickpet is one of the oldest bazaars in Bangalore, dating back to the 16th century.” “A truck had backed up against a wide shopfloor, where packages were being unloaded and carried to a beltway. Scanners automatically read the barcodes and tagged the packages by type, weight, and destination. Further along, metal arms shot out and swept packets off the belt into bins.”

“All this was manual until recently at this courier company’s warehouse. Now, robotic sorters do the job. Who could have imagined robo workers in a Chickpet bazaar teeming with people?”

“But the robots have increased the capacity for processing consignments tenfold for the DTDC warehouse, and it’s far more accurate too, the processing manager, Bhupathi Anand, points out to me. Human errors in labeling and routing are costly for a courier company.”

“The robots come from Gurgaon-based GreyOrange, a rare hardware success story from India.”
