Deployment
Ocado Smart Platform at Monroe
Ocado Group (London; LSE: OCDO) licenses the Ocado Smart Platform (OSP), a grid-based grocery-fulfillment automation system in which fleets of bots operate across a fixed three-dimensional storage grid (the 'Hive'), directed by a central AI 'air-traffic control' system many times per second. It is recorded at commercial maturity, with 13 named OSP partners (including Kroger, Morrisons, Sobeys, Coles, and Aeon) and 72 million orders shipped in FY2025 (the 52 weeks to 30 November 2025, up 26%) across 122 modules. Its US deployment is in active flux: Kroger has scaled back, closing several customer-fulfillment centers in January 2026 and cancelling a Charlotte site, and paying Ocado $350 million in compensation. For the registry it is filed under form_factor=amr within the warehouse-automation cohort, with an explicit note that it is grid-based AS/RS rather than a free-roaming AMR.
