Maersk and Fabric open AI-driven automated fulfillment center in Dallas

Maersk and Fabric have joined forces for a new 3,500m² automated-fulfillment center in Dallas, Texas, powered by Fabric’s advanced robotic and software technology.

The two companies expect the final preparations to be completed soon, as the site is scheduled to be fully operational this fall in support of an online B2C retailer.

According to the announcement, the new facility features an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven, automated e-commerce fulfillment solution in an urban environment that maximises warehouse productivity while minimising real estate footprint requirements. This innovative approach aligns with the wholesale real estate strategy of optimizing space utilization to enhance investment value.

“The growth of E-commerce continues to reshape the retail landscape. As we look to help our customers streamline their supply chains end-to-end, we see Fabric’s automated fulfillment solution as one that is highly capable of meeting the demand for efficient warehousing and fulfillment where labor and real estate resources are scarce,” said Erez Agmoni, Maersk’s global head of innovation – logistics & services.

Fabric’s high-density, high-throughput cube-based storage system can fully leverage warehouse ceiling heights to effectively maximise the potential of smaller facility footprints. With the assistance of advanced robots and software, the system is optimised to fulfill orders of single-picked items for same-day or next-day delivery.

This design makes the technology well-suited for distributed warehouse networks in urban areas, putting goods closer to population centers, thereby cutting shipping costs and expediting delivery times.

The Dallas facility is optimised for high-volume, business-to-consumer e-commerce, capable of managing up to 25,000 SKUs.

Avi Jacoby, CEO of Fabric, commented, “With our proven track record of operating our state-of-the-art facilities for the past five years, we have honed our capabilities to make each piece of the fulfillment process work together seamlessly to enable retailers to unlock the business value of fulfillment automation. Teaming up with Maersk allows each company to do what it does best, with the ultimate goal of offering retailers unprecedented value and service.”
