NextShift Robotics, a provider of autonomous mobile robot solutions for automated order fulfillment and warehouse materials management, today announced a reseller agreement with Hy-Tek Material Handling, Inc. of Columbus, Ohio.
Today’s ecommerce fulfillment operations are challenged by labor scarcity along with the need for quicker response time and dramatically higher throughput. To keep pace with relentlessly rising customer expectations, autonomous mobile robots have emerged as a compelling answer to combat this difficult order fulfillment scalability need. As a leader in the design and implementation of customized integrated systems, Hy-Tek Material Handling, Inc. has entered into an agreement to incorporate, when applicable, NextShift Robotics.
Tom Mann, President of Hy-Tek’s Integrated Systems Division, said, “Hy-Tek prides itself on bringing the most advanced and innovative solutions to create productivity and efficiency for its customers. We looked at all the best robotic fulfillment offerings and found that NextShift’s unique design advantage is its ability to pick up and put down a tote. That key capability creates a truly independent robotic workflow that can deliver greater throughput than any other solution of its kind. That is why we have partnered with NextShift.”
“Hy-Tek’s deep understanding of the material handling business and the trusted collaboration they enjoy with clients complement our technology perfectly,” said Mary Ellen Sparrow, NextShift Co-Founder and CEO. “This synergistic partnership will drive adoption of a practical and innovative robotic approach that produces amazing value for customers.”
