Umall, Australia’s leading online Asian grocery platform, has become the first online grocery retailer in the country to introduce AI-powered robotic sorting technology.
The new system, now operational at Umall’s fulfilment centre in Sydney, aims to improve the logistics of online grocery operations in the expanding Asian grocery sector, Umall said in a media release.
“At Umall, our focus is on delivering the best possible service to customers who rely on us for their Asian grocery needs,” a spokesperson for the company said.
“By implementing AI-powered robotic sorting, we’re not only optimizing our internal processes but also enhancing customer experience with faster, more accurate deliveries.”
The AI-driven sorting system is designed specifically for the wide array of products unique to Asian grocery stores, handling everything from fresh produce to specialty items with pinpoint accuracy.
This technology processes thousands of products per hour and manages Umall’s extensive inventory of over 20,000 items more efficiently.
Products include fresh meats, seafood, and household staples that are essential in many Asian households.
Key benefits of this robotic system include higher order accuracy, faster fulfilment, and enhanced stock management.
Additionally, it minimises human contact with food, ensuring superior hygiene standards, which is particularly important in the fresh food sector.
These improvements are part of Umall’s mission to deliver a top-tier shopping experience while maintaining competitive pricing.
“The implementation of AI robotics is a game-changer, not just for Umall but for the entire Asian grocery market in Australia,” company representatives highlighted.
“We are now able to meet rising demand with greater speed and accuracy, all while expanding our product offerings and services to serve our diverse customer base more effectively.”
According to Umall, the company has already observed faster order processing times and improved customer satisfaction.
Looking ahead, Umall plans to expand the technology to other fulfilment centres across Australia, reinforcing its commitment to innovation and customer service in the online grocery industry.
