Fulfillment Execution Software
Ocado Intelligent Automation has introduced Ocado IQ, an enhanced cloud-based, AI-powered fulfillment execution software with multiple pick modes that can run concurrently across warehouses and fulfillment sites. The software system directs every pick, path and priority from inbound to outbound, across the Ocado Mobile Robot System (OMRS).
Ocado IQ acts as the orchestrator of the entire warehouse operation, coordinating tasks, teams, tools and technologies through a single interface. The software applies smart orchestration logic across every connected touchpoint, giving operations floor-wide visibility and fulfillment from receiving and putaway through picking, packing and outbound.
Ocado IQ powers the Chuck and Porter autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) from OIA, as well as the Ocado IQ App, to keep fulfillment operations in sync across automated and manual workflows.
Ocado IQ’s two intelligent pick modes can run concurrently across a warehouse or distribution center. They are configured by aisle, using factors like aisle width and position, product density and velocity, and task type. That means the software selects the most productive approach for each aisle rather than applying a single method across the entire floor.
Ocado IQ’s proprietary Smart Allocation Logic evaluates orders and labor continuously, assigning every task to the right resource at the right moment. The software suite coordinates the full scope of warehouse fulfillment: picking, tasking, routing, error resolution, and real-time operational intelligence.
