Senior DevOps Engineer, Berkshire Grey

Setting up robotics systems can be very costly for companies, which is why Berkshire Grey offers a Robots as a Service (RaaS) model. This enables businesses to automate their processes without a large upfront investment. By using its robots, Berkshire Grey claims, businesses can reduce picking costs by 70-80% and increase throughput by 25-35%—impressive numbers that certainly make it a strong choice for interested parties.

Despite competition from Amazon Robotics and Fetch Robotics, Berkshire Grey has carved out a niche in the growing robotics market. In 2023, the company merged with SoftBank in a $375 million go-private transaction. This merger aims to strengthen Berkshire Grey's capabilities, streamline operations, and maintain a competitive edge. The merger with SoftBank will enable the company to better serve its customers with its disruptive AI robotics technology, driving efficiency in their operations.
