Ocado partner Kroger orders new automated technologies

Ocado has announced that US grocery retailer Kroger has placed an order for new automated technologies to roll out in its customer fulfilment centres.

The news represents a next step in Ocado’s partnership with Kroger which began in 2018 with the agreement that Ocado would provide the retailer with technology to be used for grocery deliveries.

Improved efficiency and labour productivity

In this latest move, Kroger will implement Ocado’s latest ‘Re:imagined’ technologies across multiple CFCs in its live network, as well as future CFCs. These will include Ocado’s On-Grid Robotic Pick  and Automated Frameload which Ocado said will lead to improved efficiency and labour productivity in Kroger’s delivery network.

Tim Steiner, chief executive of Ocado Group, said: “We are delivering a step-change in warehouse automation and new levels of efficiency to our partners as global supply chains are under significant pressure to manage higher volumes and greater complexity, as well as challenges in labour cost and availability.

“Today marks another exciting milestone in our partnership with Kroger. Our current CFCs are already helping to deliver a game-changing quality of service to their customers across the USA.

“We are excited for these latest technologies to further enhance that proposition, as well as the efficiency of Kroger’s operations in live and future CFCs.”

AEON, Ocado’s partner in Japan, has recently announced it will retrofit Ocado’s On-Grid Robotic Pick technology into its existing operations.
