DPD unveils plans for state-of-the-art robotic warehouse in London
Autonomy's coming to UK parcel delivery company DPD. It's partnered with Deus Robotics to create tailored end-to-end robotic warehousing that will lead to 'more efficiently store, manage, and product distribution'. Following the successful trial, DPD said it's placed an initial order to transform the operation at its flagship Docklands sortation centre in London. Deus has developed 'advanced robotics technology and software systems' that support companies to operate the warehouse robots and includes specially designed transportation cages and Deus's 'Rack Robots'. Equipped with obstacle-detecting technology, the robots 'help increase productivity by up to five times and can transport racks weighing up to 1,100 lbs'. Further, the warehouse automation systems also supports DPD's EcoLaunchpad goal of achieving Net Zero by 2040, it said. It confirmed its UK operation is on track to meet the group target, after delivering a 47.5% reduction in overall emissions at the end of 2024, compared to its 2020 benchmark. Tim Jones, director of Marketing, Communications & Sustainability, DPDgroup UK said: 'We created the EcoLaunchpad to find and pull together the global innovators that can help us develop the solutions to power our journey to Net Zero. The next part of that journey will require much more than just decarbonising fleet. 'We have to challenge ourselves on every aspect of the operation and think about technologies that aren't currently widely adopted or sitting 'on the shelf' already. By working side by side with the innovators, we hope to solve more of the problems, more quickly.' Antonina Iermeichuk, co-founder and COO of Deus Robotics, added: 'The project marks yet another milestone on our journey to building a more sustainable logistics future.'
