UK online supermarket Ocado has installed more than 35 kilometres of conveyor belts in its Warwickshire factory, upon which crates travel an average of four and five kilometres as items are selected to fulfil customers' orders. The company said the new system would cut down on delays caused by customers waiting for their food at checkouts.
