Customer testimonials
Although sorting by product type and store is still done by humans, product transportation and peripheral work have been automated as much as possible. In particular, the high-speed sorter that sorts by group in retail stores quickly sorts products picked by product type sent from upper floors. The material handling system that was introduced has greatly improved logistics services to stores.
