About Ocado Group
Ocado Group is a British technology company best known as the developer of the Ocado Smart Platform (OSP), the automated grocery-fulfilment system it licenses to retailers worldwide. At the centre of OSP is the Hive, a three-dimensional storage grid over which swarms of cube-shaped robots ("bots") travel to retrieve product totes and deliver them to pick stations; Ocado reports more than 17,000 bots operating across its sites (company-stated). Its latest 600 Series Bot is built largely by additive manufacturing — over half its parts are 3D printed — making it far lighter than earlier generations and enabling lighter, faster-to-build grids.
On-Grid Robotic Pick stations mount robotic arms directly on the grid, using machine vision and AI to pick and pack individual items without human touch; Ocado says the system is live in 14 customer fulfilment centres and has completed more than 350 million picks. Through Ocado Intelligent Automation, the group also sells its storage-and-retrieval and autonomous mobile robot technology (including the Chuck and Porter AMRs) to non-grocery logistics operators. For partners, Ocado is a licensor of proven, fleet-scale warehouse robotics — hardware, orchestration software and fulfilment operations as one platform.
