Ocado’s Hive is a fully automated warehouse system revolutionizing grocery shopping. Using AI-powered bots and robotic arms, it can pick and pack a 50-item order in just five minutes—six times faster than traditional methods.

The system, built over 20 years, uses advanced robotics, computer vision, and digital twins to optimize efficiency, reduce food waste, and offer up to 78% more products than typical supermarkets.

In the U.S., Ocado powers Kroger’s delivery service with this tech, Fox News has reported.

Beyond groceries, Ocado’s automation platform is being adapted for uses like vertical farming, assisted living, and airport logistics.
