Kiva Systems Inc. (Woburn, MA) has announced that Staples Inc. has purchased a Kiva Mobile Fulfillment System (MFS). The solution employs hundreds of low-cost mobile robots to bring inventory shelving pods directly to operators. The MFS is being deployed at Staples' Chambersburg, PA, fulfillment center, one of many Staples fulfillment centers for the firm's small business customers. The Kiva Mobile Fulfillment System is a type of automated storage and retrieval technology that brings any item to any operator at any time regardless of the breadth of inventory items or the throughput of the facilitylinks, the manufacturer said. Operators stand at pick stations along the perimeter of the facility where they use a pick-to-light/put-to-light process to select items and place them in the correct shipping container.
