0%Berkshire Grey expands footprint in Europe. Massachusetts-based robotic automation vendor opens customer engagement site near Amsterdam Schiphol Airport. Robotic automation provider Berkshire Grey will expand its European operations with the opening of a new "customer innovation center" in Haarlem, near Amsterdam, further strengthening its presence across Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), the Massachusetts-based company said on Wednesday. Located near Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, one of Europe's leading transportation hubs, the facility will serve as a hub for customer engagement, solution validation, technical training, and regional support. The location also places Berkshire Grey at the center of the logistics and warehouse automation market serving Benelux, an economic region comprising Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxemburg. That will provide proximity to retailers, logistics providers, warehouse operators, and systems integration partners. The move comes as demand for Berkshire Grey's solutions has increased significantly across the region as retailers, e-commerce companies, and logistics providers seek proven automation technologies capable of delivering measurable operational results, the firm said.
This collaboration aims to integrate Berkshire Grey's AI-enabled robotic picking technology with Kardex's AutoStore systems, offering customers a fully automated, one-touch fulfillment solution.
For instance, in October 2021, Berkshire Grey Inc. (U.S.), the leader in AI-enabled robotic solutions that automate supply chain processes, partnered with Atos (France) to accelerate the automation of supply chain operations.
In the UK, Maersk has partnered with Berkshire Grey to deploy AI-enabled robotic solutions in warehouses, allowing for accelerated sorting and enhanced flexibility in warehousing operations.
Berkshire Grey, a developer of robotic solutions that automate supply chain processes, is partnering with Advanced Handling Systems, a system integrator of fulfillment and distribution solutions within the supply chain.
