Brightpick

Brightpick manufactures warehouse automation solutions for order fulfillment for customers in the e-commerce, e-grocery, and third-party logistics industries. Its two primary offerings are the Brightpick Autopicker, an autonomous mobile robot (AMR) for in-aisle order picking, inventory replenishment, dynamic slotting, and more; and the Brightpick Dispatcher, a solution for post-pick order consolidation, buffer, and dispatch.

The company offers its robots under two different purchase models—a capex model and a robots-as-a-service (RaaS) model. The latter allows customers to automate their warehouses with lower overhead costs. The hardware is paired with Brightpick’s proprietary software, Brightpick Intuition, which uses data and analytics to orchestrate and optimize the fleet and the fulfillment process, ensuring maximum efficiency on the warehouse floor.

Jan Zizka, CEO and co-founder of Brightpick, says the upside of RaaS is that “each solution is designed to a customer’s specific needs and throughput requirements. We’re also regularly iterating on and enhancing our fleet management software, so customers on subscription will always have the most updated application. And deployment is fast and scalable, which is particularly valuable for our customers that see seasonal fluctuations in throughput.”
