Retrofitting GTP Stations with Robotics: What It Really Takes – Live with Berkshire Grey

What's it about?

Retrofitting GTP infrastructure with robotics – the idea is appealing, and the technology is ready. What many underestimate: before the first robot picks, a few structured decisions need to be made. Which SKUs are pickable, which aren't – and by what criteria? What does the customer need to prepare before getting started? That may sound complex at first, but it isn't, once you know what really matters. 

Nicolas Dewit breaks the topic down step by step in this webinar – so you know what a retrofit really means, and what it doesn't.

More events this week:

• Replenishment Control at the Pick Location: How to Avoid Downtime in Picking – Live with infios (Tuesday, September 22, 2026): An empty pick location stops the entire operation – most of the time it's not a stock problem, but a timing problem. Claas-Malte Sturm shows how the WMS synchronizes replenishment and picking so that the pick location is full before the Picker arrives.

Why you should attend

• you want to know how to systematically assess whether and which parts of your GTP station are suitable for robotics
• you want to understand the criteria used to determine which items are suitable for automated picking
• you want to know what needs to be prepared on your end before a robot can go live
• you want to understand how operations with a mix of pickable and non-pickable items work in practice

What you'll take away from the talk

• Pickability criteria – what really matters when it comes to shape, weight, packaging, and data quality
• What preparations are required on the customer side before automation can begin
• What mixed operations with non-automatable items look like in practice
• Realistic assessments of throughput and entry-level hurdles drawn from real projects
