Brightpick, automated fulfillment, Erlanger, Kentucky, USA

Brightpick Giraffe is an autonomous mobile robot (AMR) capable of reaching heights of 20 feet (6 m), resulting in three times the warehouse storage density compared to manual operations.Brightpick Giraffe is designed to work alongside our Autopicker robots. It retrieves storage totes from upper-level shelf locations and delivers them to lower levels, where an Autopicker can access them for picking (up to a height of 11 feet / 3.4 m). After the pick is completed, Giraffe efficiently returns the product tote to its original upper-level storage location.This innovative system maximizes both density and throughput by storing slower-moving items on upper levels (accessible to Giraffes) and fast-moving products within easy reach of Autopickers on lower levels. In a typical setup, the solution will include one Giraffe for five Autopickers, creating an optimal balance between cost, density, and performance. Beyond their primary tote retrieval function, Giraffes can also handle inventory replenishment and order picking using Goods-to-Person stations.The Brightpick Giraffe is a competitive alternative to other high-density AMR systems like Geek+ Roboshuttle, Hai Robotics or Quicktron.
