Following the deployment of the AmbiSort A-Series small parcel
sortation systems for last-mile operations, Pitney Bowes and Ambi
Robotics partnered to develop and deploy the AmbiSort B-Series
solution in Pitney Bowes ecommerce hubs across the U.S. The
AI-powered robotics will help Pitney Bowes speed parcel sortation
to middle-mile delivery providers, while improving productivity,
accuracy, and worker safety.
“The successful deployment of the AmbiSort B-Series is a result
of strategic and collaborative innovation between the two
companies,” said Jim Liefer, CEO of Ambi Robotics. “Pitney Bowes is
pioneering the future of smart logistics and has been at the
forefront of transforming warehouse work to align with the demands
of constant ecommerce. This partnership serves as a model of such
collaborative innovation and sets a high bar for future supply
chain modernization.”
As parcel volume exceeds 161 billion annual parcels globally, as
revealed in the latest Pitney Bowes Parcel Shipping Index,
logistics and global delivery organizations continue to seek
automated solutions that can quickly scale to meet their unique
needs.
“Today’s ecommerce demands must be met with speed, and as such,
technological solutions must be scaled quickly. At Pitney Bowes, we
are partnering with some of the most innovative companies in the
industry to make B2C ecommerce logistics easier for our clients,”
said Stephanie Cannon, SVP of Operations Excellence and
Collaborative Innovation at Pitney Bowes. “With Ambi Robotics, we
were able to develop a sortation system that solved a particular
need and scaled it quickly across our ecommerce hubs, adding
capacity for our clients ahead of peak season.”
The AmbiSort B-Series revolutionizes sorting operations while
reducing operating costs by inducting and sorting parcels into
gaylord destinations and addressing the challenges of
labor-intensive manual sorting throughout high-speed supply chain
operations. The AmbiSort B-Series solution adapts to various use
cases, such as reverse logistics, interfacility sortation,
sort-to-carrier, zone-skipping, and automated parcel induction.
"We view automation as the execution of the undesirable tasks
that humans don’t want to do so that employees can build a
sustainable career. We achieve this by elevating the working
conditions, setting the new standard of human work, and creating
new desirable roles like robot operator and super robot operator,"
said Ryan Hannon, VP of Industrial Engineering and Collaborative
Innovation at Pitney Bowes.
