Swire Coca-Cola SAI autonomous beverage picking
Swire Coca-Cola reported peak picking throughput of 600 cases per robot per hour
Problem
Smaller, more frequent mixed-product orders strained manual beverage picking. Heavy shrink-wrapped packs also created physically demanding work.
Approach
Swire Coca-Cola co-developed SAI with Seth Robotics and deployed it at its Zhengzhou plant. An AI controller coordinated robots that identified packs and assembled mixed-product pallets from live customer orders.
Results
Takeaway
The deployment addressed both order preparation and heavy lifting. Its reported throughput was a peak rate, rather than an average across shifts.
