Case study
Knuspr buffers and dispatches orders using Brightpick robots
Knuspr is one of Germany’s fastest-growing e-grocers.
The company has large average order sizes consisting of dozens of items per order. Its Munich fulfillment center holds more than 12,000 SKUs and has multiple picking zones to accommodate different types of products.
Knuspr was looking for a flexible robotic solution to automate the post-pick order buffer, consolidation and dispatch process.
Brightpick provided a flexible solution that enabled KNUSPR to:
- Dispatch 20% more orders during peak hours
- Reduce labor for order consolidation and buffer to zero
- Extend warehouse operations to 18 hours per day
- Eliminate human errors from the dispatch process
We needed automation to make our operation more efficient, stable and scalable. We selected Brightpick because of the fast design and installation time, stable and high-performing product and robot-as-a-service pricing model.Ales Malucha

FAQ

How long does Brightpick take to install?
On-site installation typically takes 2-4 weeks, depending on the size of the installation (larger installations can also be done in phases to avoid disrupting ongoing operations). We aim to complete all software integration with your WMS or ERP before we begin on-site installation.

Does my warehouse need to meet any requirements to install Brightpick?
Brightpick can be installed in almost any warehouse, including existing facilities, mezzanines and areas with limited clear height. Our solution does not have any special flooring, fencing or fire safety requirements. Typically a warehouse needs to be doing at least 5000 picks per day for the solution to deliver an attractive ROI.
-
How much does Brightpick cost?
Each solution is designed to your specific needs and throughput requirements. We do not sell single robots, so pricing will depend on your specifications. You can reach out to our customer success team here to discuss your specifications and receive pricing.
-
Can we use our existing warehouse shelving?
Our robots can use your existing shelving as long as it is suitable for totes. In the past, we installed our robots in shelf-supported mezzanines using existing shelving previously used for manual picking. However, depending on your requirements, it may still be beneficial to get new shelving to maximize storage density and system performance.
