Legacy Supply Chain is pleased to announce the deployment of advanced automation technology from 6 River Systems, a leader in the fulfillment technology industry. The 6 Rivers’ solution consists of collaborative robots, or cobots, that help optimize fulfillment operations, support labor productivity, and increase order volume throughput. This cobot automation technology has been implemented in Legacy’s Franklin IN (Indianapolis) eComm fulfillment facility with future plans to integrate it into other Legacy network fulfillment sites, as well as into large-scale dedicated distribution environments the company operates.
The integration of 6 River cobots into Legacy’s fulfillment operations will enable Legacy Supply Chain to drive new levels of value for their eComm and omni-channel customers by improving service levels and reducing supply chain operational costs. These collaborative robots, called “Chucks”, work alongside staff to increase efficiency, accuracy, and improve the overall warehouse worker experience involving picking, put away, counting, sorting and product replenishment job functions. By improving quality, minimizing errors, and enabling more throughput, Legacy is better able to drive value, scalability and growth for their customers.
