A fleet of orange robots scurry around a distribution center moving shelves of products like a family of ottoman-sized ants.  Highly productive workers enjoy picking orders from the shelves of merchandise delivered by the robots.   Order selection cycle times can take less than 15 minutes for complex orders. 

Sounds like science fiction, but it’s not.  It is the game-changing Mobile Robotic Fulfillment System from Kiva Systems used by Staples, Zappos.com, Walgreens, the GAP, Boston Scientific, Crate & Barrel, Quiet Logistics and other world class organizations to pick, pack and ship orders.

This is not your father’s automation - Kiva’s revolutionary solution enables companies to simplify operations and reduce costs, while increasing strategic flexibility because none of it is bolted down.  The Kiva solution delivers extremely fast cycle times with reduced labor requirements by using autonomous mobile robots, movable shelving and sophisticated control software to make any item available to any order picker at any time.  The result is something that needs to be seen to be believed.  Please join us for a tour, demonstration and opportunity to pick orders using a live system.

Light refreshments and networking at 6:00 PM

Remarks by Kiva Systems CEO and Founder Mick Mountz at 6:30 PM
