AI-powered SORT systems in E-Commerce Fulfillment
Q&A with Marin Tchakarov, CEO | Kindred
Tell us about yourself and Kindred.
Over the last couple of decades, my career focused heavily on technology and the Internet of Things (IoT). Now, as Kindred CEO, I work with the team and Ocado Group’s Leadership to deliver on the promise of industry-progressing artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning and next-generation robotics systems for supply chain and order fulfillment organizations.
Kindred is more than a robotics and AI company. In 2014, the company set out on a mission to augment human labor with AI robot partners to fully innovate e-commerce fulfillment operations. Today, with increased labor complexities in e-commerce fulfillment centers, customers automate their fulfillment and supply chain operations using Kindred’s AI-powered, piece-picking SORT robots to increase throughput and efficiency.
