An Autonomous Warehosue Managed by 3,000 AI-Powered Bots

Have a look at Ocado's technology that fully automates enormous warehouses.

Take a look at a warehouse larger than three football fields where 3,000 AI-powered bots, running at 4 meters per second, manage all supplies by artificial intelligence. You have to admit that the footage is captivating.

Ocado's warehouses are the most advanced of their kind in the world. The bots are powered by cutting-edge automation, robotics, and control systems.

The main element of the system is 'The Hive', a 3D grid that holds grocery items and ready customer orders. Thousands of bots operate on top of The Hive looking for orders and delivering them. This dense bot system is orchestrated by the company's AI air traffic system letting bots move at 4 meters per second, with 5mm between them.
