European pharmacy giant Dr. Max automates order picking and replenishment with Brightpick Autopicker

Dr.

Max, the second largest pharmacy chain in Europe with 3,000 pharmacies across 6 countries, has fully automated its order picking and stock replenishment using Brightpick Autopicker robots in its Prague distribution center.

The company now relies on the AI robots to regularly replenish pharmacies and hospitals across the country. Brightpick Autopicker is the only mobile robot in the world that robotically picks and consolidates orders directly in the warehouse aisles.

This eliminates the need for human picking and significantly reduces the time and labor required for order fulfillment. The first phase of this installation, consisting of eight Brightpick Autopickers, was designed for a throughput of 5,000 picks per day.

Currently Dr.

Max is achieving performance that is 40% above that, with rates consistently above 7,000 picks per day.

The company plans to increase throughput even more by adding additional robots.
