More than a robot, Core serves as a strategic advantage, empowering supply chains with greater efficiency, scalability, and high-value automation.
Core™ automates picking in any environment with high SKU variability. Perception, adaptive gripping, motion planning, and precise placement work together in a single integrated pick cell designed for continuous operation.
Inbound inventory arrives via conveyor, ready for automated processing. The system can pick from inbound bins with up to 16 subdivisions and is designed to handle real-world variability without requiring strict upstream standardization, reducing preprocessing and manual intervention.
Outbound containers or boxes are delivered to the robotic pick cell for precise order fulfillment, supporting multiple container types and sizes within the same workflow. This flexibility enables diverse fulfillment strategies like batching, store-ready orders, or direct-to-consumer packing.
Advanced vision and AI identify the best grasp points and determine optimal placement, ensuring precise handling from day one—with 99% accuracy and no prior SKU data needed.
BG's patented SpectrumGripper® technology automatically adapts to size, weight, and texture, enabling precise handling of a wide range of irregular SKUs. It reliably picks items in glass containers, as well as fragile, transparent, chilled, and frozen goods.
Items are carefully placed into outbound containers/shipping boxes using intelligent path planning to maximize packing density to ~80% liquid volume, reduce repacking, and cut shipping costs.

Core is ideal for operations needing more sort capacity within space, labor, and SKU constraints, delivering high throughput without major facility changes or added headcount.
Purpose-built for high-performance pick-and-place, Core enables operations to flex with changing demand, boost throughput, and streamline fulfillment, all within a single, scalable system.
Core can induct items into sorter types, matching throughput rates to available space constraints while maintaining efficiency and flexibility across different operational environments.
Supports both pack-to-box and pack-to-bag workflows, enabling efficient, right-sized packing for a wide range of order types, from larger shipments to lightweight, small-item orders.
Answers to commonly asked questions.
Robotic picking systems use machine learning, 3D vision, motion planning, and robotic grasping technology to identify and pick items from bins, totes, conveyors, or storage systems. Core continuously adapts to SKU variability and changing warehouse conditions in real time.
Warehouse robotic picking systems are designed for high-throughput fulfillment environments and can operate continuously across multiple shifts. Core Robotic Picking System can achieve up to twice the performance of manual pick-and-release workflows.
Industries using robotic warehouse automation include eCommerce, retail distribution, grocery fulfillment, third-party logistics (3PL), apparel, consumer goods, and parcel delivery operations. These industries often require fast, scalable fulfillment across complex SKU assortments.
Goods-to-person robotic picking is a fulfillment workflow where inventory is automatically delivered to robotic picking stations or operators using automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS), shuttles, or AutoStore systems. Robotic picking technology then automates the piece-picking process.
Berkshire Grey's Core Robotic Picking Systems can handle a wide variety of items, including irregular products, polybags, cylindrical objects, apparel, cartons, porous items, heavy items (up to 6kg) and previously unseen SKUs.
Robotic picking improves warehouse efficiency by automating repetitive manual tasks, increasing picking speed, reducing labor dependency, and improving order accuracy. Berkshire Grey Core Robotic Picking System can achieve up to 2x human pick-and-release performance while maintaining greater than 99% accuracy.
Robotic picking systems automate repetitive warehouse tasks traditionally performed by manual labor. This allows warehouses and fulfillment centers to reduce dependence on labor availability while reallocating workers to higher-value operational activities.
Manual picking relies on human workers to identify and move products through fulfillment workflows, while robotic picking uses AI-powered robots and automation systems to perform these tasks autonomously. Robotic picking improves scalability, consistency, and operational efficiency in high-volume warehouse environments.
Yes. Berkshire Grey’s Core Robotic Picking System is highly flexible and integrates seamlessly with existing warehouse automation infrastructure, including AutoStore systems, conveyors, shuttles, auto baggers, put walls and more. This allows facilities to automate picking operations without requiring a complete redesign of warehouse infrastructure or processes.
Berkshire Grey’s Core Robotic Picking System replaces manual tote-picking workflows, labor-intensive goods-to-person picking operations, and less flexible robotic systems that require extensive SKU onboarding, structured inputs, or frequent reconfiguration to support changing inventory.
