CEVA Logistics and Berkshire Grey are implementing AI-enabled robotic automation systems into CEVA's supply chain operations in Canada. Embedding robotic solutions at CEVA's Vancouver eCommerce facility will maximize distribution center capacity, optimize throughput and accelerate fulfillment processes. Improving throughput and speeding fulfilment: Berkshire Grey's Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) model enables CEVA to leverage leading-edge, intelligent robotic automation systems on behalf of its customers.

This gives CEVA the ability to increase capacity, improve throughput, and speed up fulfillment across locations as consumer demand grows. The RaaS model advances CEVA's agility to scale and serve its customers and their businesses now and in the future. Processing more than 5.5 million packages annually: CEVA is using Berkshire Grey's Robotic Product Sortation and Identification (RPSi) system at its Vancouver distribution center to autonomously identify and sort eCommerce packages and parcels, streamlining distribution to 78 Canada Post destinations.

The implementation has the capacity to process more than 5.5 million packages annually with minimal operator intervention in a compact 93 square-meter (1,000 square-foot) operating footprint. The RPSi system can handle challenging parcels such as the polybags, tubes, padded mailers and envelopes that are common in eCommerce shipping. The RPSi is powered by AI-enabled robotic picking and placing, linear sort shuttle technology, a pack-to-light user interface, and Berkshire Grey's patented HyperScanner™ auto-identification module.

The system uses the company's proprietary hardware and software to identify, singulate, transport, sort and store small parcels in specific and re-definable end locations aligned to meet CEVA's dynamic network sortation needs.
