MAKING LIGHTS-OUT FULFILLMENT POSSIBLE Brightpick, a provider of AI-powered robotic automation for warehouses, upgraded its Autopicker robots to enable lights-out ful llment. With the company’s latest software updates, including Physical AI and picking-in- motion, Autopicker robots can now autonomously pick and buffer orders without human intervention. Orders picked overnight are buffered inside the Brightpick system, ready for immediate packing and shipping at the start of the next shift, increasing warehouse throughput and accelerating order delivery. Brightpick’s Intuition AI software allows each robot to see, think, and act with human-like responsiveness and adaptability. Intuition continuously evaluates what’s happening across the warehouse and directs each robot to its next task. Embedded within Intuition is Physical AI, a suite of proprietary AI models that enable Autopicker to understand and adapt to its surroundings with human-like judgment. Autopicker robots use AI-powered decision-making and a mobile robotic arm to autonomously pick individual items from shelves and totes. With 3D vision and force-sensing grippers, the robots operate with human-like dexterity, navigating aisles and shelves using LiDAR sensors and AI, even in low- light environments. Brightpick offers Autopicker systems through a Robots-as-a-Service model as well as traditional capex purchase options.
per mission, and completes full- facility scans multiple times per week, autonomously and without disrupting operations.
