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.

Dispatch 20% more orders during peak hours
