???? Meet Fulfil, a perfect example of DCVC’s investing philosophy at work! Fulfil is reinventing food shopping with a completely unique, fully automated fulfillment system to enable customer-centric, sustainable, and profitable online grocery at scale. Last year, Fulfil opened its first robot-powered micro-fulfillment warehouse in Mountain View, CA, in partnership with The Save Mart Companies and DoorDash, to power a same-day grocery delivery and pick-up service called Lucky Now. Within minutes of receiving an order, Fulfil’s system deploys “shop bots” (shown below) to accurately pick all categories of groceries—including refrigerated and frozen goods—and then bring packed grocery bags to a waiting area where drivers collect them. Fulfil leverages advanced #AI, #machinelearning, and optical and sensor technologies to enable next-generation inventory management and quality control. Within the warehouse, Fulfil’s proprietary dispense stations handle any grocery item with computer-vision precision, and sensor fusion algorithms confirm that every item is packed successfully. Fulfil’s mobile robots split and sequence items to prevent damage and minimize pack time, while dispense stations redistribute inventory to balance load. A database tracks every item’s location, origin, and expiration for a new level of real-time inventory management that enables perfect order accuracy and minimizes waste. Fulfil expects to deploy its automation system with several retailers next year and beyond. Check it out! ??
