Our take
The boom in eCommerce over recent years has created a need for increased productivity in fulfilment, with businesses needing to scale up to remain competitive. Berkshire Grey develops and supplies AI-powered robots for warehouses and fulfilment centres, delivering intelligent, mobile robots for supply chain process automation to increase throughput, lower delivery times, and reduce costs.
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 strengthens Berkshire Grey's capabilities, streamlines operations, and maintains its competitive edge. The merger with SoftBank will enable the company to better serve its customers with its disruptive AI robotics technology, driving efficiency in its operations.
