“We at ABB Robotics applaud Berkshire Grey for their innovative use of
industrial robotics and are pleased to recognize their accomplishments
with our 2019 Most Innovative Solutions Award,” said Joe Chudy, US
General Manager, ABB Robotics. “Retail distribution, eCommerce
fulfillment, and logistics operations are ripe for robotic automation,
and the solutions Berkshire Grey has created to solve the order picking
challenges in these domains are at the forefront of this exciting new
wave of robotic applications.”
