Walmart partners with Knapp to launch four new high-tech warehouse facilities

When we talk about making the best use of machine learning, automation, and robots, Walmart certainly knows how it is done. The giant retailer is in the process of launching four new high-tech fulfilment centres equipped with all the latest tech systems. Walmart has associated with fulfilment tech company Knapp to roll out ‘next generation’ robotic warehouse facilities. As per David Guggina, the giant retailer would provide next-day or two-day shipping to almost 75% of the U.S. population. After receiving an online order from a shopper, the system recovers it automatically and starts processing a custom-fitting package. Walmart will launch one of its high-tech fulfilment facilities in Joliet, Illinois. The retailer would also hire about 4,000 new employees to manage these warehouses.
