Amazon has introduced a new robotic system, Blue Jay, designed to perform multiple warehouse tasks simultaneously.
The system uses robotic arms with suction cups on a conveyor-like track to pick, sort, and consolidate items in one streamlined process.
Currently being tested in a South Carolina warehouse, Blue Jay can handle about 75% of stored items, aiming to improve efficiency and reduce physical strain on employees, CNBC has reported.
This addition expands Amazon’s growing fleet of warehouse robots, building on years of automation efforts since its 2012 acquisition of Kiva Systems.
