We started with 10 Burro Grandes at our Ridge Manor farm. By the end of the first week, we knew there was no going back. The most encouraging thing was how quickly our employees adopted the robots. They were excited and took to them right away. Our team was running them on their own, and the Burros were doing real production work, effectively right out of the box. At this point, we’ve established a trusted partnership with the Burro team. Given our size and scale, we think we could use 50 or more Burros across all of our operations.

Our goal was to automate transport from our East Cart Depot to our West Cart Depot, and Burro helped us achieve that in less than a month. We have 30 tractor drivers, and Burro can eliminate the need for 10 of those, giving us 20 more hands to focus on tasks that can’t be automated. We’ve come a long way working with Burro, and it’s definitely the most interesting thing we’ve worked on.

It’s critical that we optimize the workspace for our workers to make it as ergonomic and efficient as possible. With Burro, we were able to quickly find an interface that works for our crews. There are a lot of technologies out there that need major infrastructure changes, but Burro’s dimensions fit seamlessly within our existing aisles. You know a technology works when the crew adopts it, and their reception has been extremely positive. We currently have crews requesting Burros to complement them rather than relying on a traditional driver. The integration of the Burro has been very positive for us.
