Spectro (robot inventory)

2023: Robot Implementation

Yandex.Market has developed and implemented Spectro inventory robots. According to the press service of the company in July 2023, three systems were installed in a logistics center in Sofyina near Moscow.

Prior to that, the service tested several different versions of the robot for about a year, which were inventoried in a pallet warehouse with goods. During this time, the Yandex.Market team taught Spectro to distinguish tags on pallets with 100% accuracy, inventory the entire full-flight storage area in 1.5 hours and repeat it three times a day. For comparison, a team of five takes about four weeks to make one inventory: the robot copes with this 450-500 times faster. And when scanned, he finds discrepancies with consistently high accuracy - for example, he identifies goods that are stored out of place. Over a month, the robot detects more than 300 discrepancies.

After a successful test, Yandex.Market decided to use several Spectro robots and entrust them with a new task. Now they inventory not only pallets, but also all large goods. This reduces marketplace costs for storing goods in warehouses, improves logistics and frees people from monotonous tasks - they will be able to engage in more complex and interesting tasks.

Robots are being created and tested in a robotic center that Market opened in May 2023. To make the landfill look like a marketplace warehouse, a metal structure weighing 17 tons with racks with which robots learn to interact was placed in it. The area of ​ ​ the center is 1000 square meters. m.

By July 2023, Yandex.Market sells goods from approximately 52.9 thousand partner stores. More than 75.3 million goods are presented on the marketplace.
