Canonical ID: `766d1679-dbbe-4b3c-a195-c92d89629fdd`

GXO Logistics deployed 6 River Systems Chuck collaborative AMRs at its distribution centre in Stoke-on-Trent, UK as part of a broader multi-site rollout announced December 14, 2021. At the Stoke-on-Trent site the Chuck robots enhanced picking accuracy by 40% and reduced new employee training time by 80%. Chuck AMRs automatically travel between locations carrying picked items, reducing associate walk time and aiding put-away, picking, counting, replenishment, and sorting tasks. GXO also operates a separate multi-tiered mezzanine Chuck deployment at its Milton Keynes site (the industry-first multi-level installation).
