The Future of Grocery Delivery

1MRobotics creates customized grippers and temperature management systems to automate small to medium-sized objects, providing efficiency gains that can't be achieved with human employees.

The robotic warehouses by 1MRobotics are made for small to medium-sized objects. The business created customized grippers to handle various products and a temperature management system that, in a departure from industry norms, automatically adjusts the temperature to meet every freezing demand.

Efficiency gains from 1MRobotic that can't be achieved with human employees are promised. And indeed, the company's robotic warehouse automation virtually does away with the need for warehouse workers.

Gershuni admits, "People tell me it's terribly dystopian to talk of a world without human operators". We believe it goes a little beyond that because resignations, which are surging, provide a significant difficulty. Nowadays, people are much more active and don't stick to one profession for too long. Second, workers are much less likely to even accept these positions because it is tough to retain the labor, particularly with physically demanding, injury-prone professions. Gershuni likens the hyperlocal nano fulfillment centers to the automation of the automobile sector, which has accelerated production and realized significant cost reductions on a broad scale.

For the purpose of assisting businesses across numerous industries, 1MRobotics created two solution kinds. The initial system, called Genesis, is designed with a focus on small product assortments for retail and consumer packaged goods (direct-to-consumer) fulfillment. The second, Flexsis, is designed to meet the special requirements of on-demand rapid delivery and other types of enterprises that have a wider variety of products.

Customers have a choice between a per-order price and a fixed monthly fee depending on the number of deployed systems at 1MRobotics. The business already has customers on all four continents, and it is dedicated to giving them physical support wherever they may be.

Consumer electronics, convenience stores & groceries, cosmetics, auto-parts, and more are just a few of the retail sectors where Gershuni claims there is strong need for this kind of solution.

Customer expectations have increased as a result of Covid, and according to Gershuni, nano fulfillment centers are the next big thing in the retail industry. According to recent studies, there are already 11,000 dark stores operating worldwide, and 45,000 are expected to be operational by the year 2030, he adds. We intend to serve as the infrastructure anchor while the retail revolution takes shape, so it is clear that this is here to stay and will grow even more.
