bins-based start-up Takeoff Technologies is creating miniature robotic warehouses that are designed to be located inside supermarkets to quickly fulfil delivery orders. The company’s aim is that its heavily automated micro fulfilment centres will enable faster and cheaper deliveries than those assembled and sent out from larger out-of-town warehouses. Another advantage is that the small, in-store centres can be deployed within around three months, unlike traditional warehouses that can take years to build.
