PRODUCT DETAILS

Ecoberry™ is an automated ecosystem for online grocery shoppers or omnichannel grocery shoppers. Shelving units contain robots that move from side-to-side, selecting requested grocery items from a shopper’s list. Robots have detachable, extendable tooling (i.e. end effectors) that allows different types of products to be selected and moved onto a conveyor belt. Through the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the items are selected and/or sorted. The conveyor belt sends the selected items through an automated checking system or cashier station, where the groceries are bagged and moved to a pickup location.

A computer system is used to operate the robots, fill grocery orders, and keep inventory. The generous shelves hold multiple items, and multiple shelving units are used to hold different types of items for shoppers to select.

Ecoberry™ system works efficiently for micro-fulfillment centers and works well with existing conveyors and automated check-out scanners. The robots are attached inside the back doors (or other locations) of the shelving units, which contain both open shelves and some with doors, and the doors can be opened for re-stocking.

In other versions of the shelving, robots are attached to the ceiling and travel easily to different levels of the shelves. Shelving units are large and hold enough items to fill multiple grocery orders. The color-coding system is used to separate filled orders and enables employees and customers to find their orders with ease.

The color-coded system is also used to help customers easily identify a pick-up or drive-through lane.

Materials Needed to Produce

The Ecoberry™ is covered by United States Utility Patent: US 10,611,570
