Wildberries began using warehouse robots in warehouses. As the press service of the marketplace reported in May 2024, robotic transporters were created in conjunction with AstaBot and are designed to automatically transport cargo up to 350 kg.

Judging by the video published by AstaBot, the devices resemble the design of robotic vacuum cleaners. They also have built-in cameras and sensors to help navigate the space and determine the distance to obstacles. In addition to automatic control, the movements of the robot can be controlled manually.

Loader robots began to be used at the Koledino warehouse in the Moscow region. In the future, such robots will appear in the rest of the Wildberries logistics centers. The retailer's press service noted that robotization will allow the company to speed up the acceptance of deliveries and delivery of orders.

In order to maintain a high dynamics of turnover growth, Wildberries will need to radically reduce dependence on warehouse personnel within 1-3 years. Elena Obraztsova, director of marketplace automation, announced this in February 2024. According to her, it is planned first of all to introduce automation and robotization tools at existing facilities. We are talking about conveyor and sorting systems, from the implementation of which Wildberries expects to get a massive effect in 6-12 months.

The first to be automated will be the most massive and expensive operations for the marketplace. Another important criterion for us is the time factor. Technologies that can bring the fastest results will be chosen, - said Elena Obraztsova.
