Ocado online supermarket UK has installed four and five kilometres of conveyor belts in its Warwickshire factory, upon which crates travel an average of more than 35 kilometres as items are selected to fulfil customers' orders. While human employees transfer the pre-picked items into customers' order crates, thousands of sensors track the crates' precise location, sending data back to a central control room.
