Bastian Solutions and Scallog Align to Deliver Mobile Goods to Person Solution in North America

Flexy Pick

Bastian Solutions, a Toyota Advanced Logistics company, is excited to announce the addition of Scallog’s mobile order fulfillment system to the company’s ever-growing portfolio of automation capabilities. As an independent integrator, this relationship supports Bastian Solutions' commitment to providing clients with optimal systems that not only meet but exceed operational goals. 

"This partnership marks a new stage in Scallog's growth. The USA represents an important market, demanding efficient and agile logistics solutions, combined with huge local logistics expertise. The integration agreement with Bastian Solutions allows us to accelerate our deployment capacity and our commercial presence. We share values and a common vision with the company, that is a world-class automation specialist. The close and fruitful links with our integrators are the key to our development,” details Olivier Rochet, CEO of Scallog. 


Scallog, a French robotic automation system manufacturer, designed its Boby intelligent logistics robot to lift and transport product shelves from storage to picking locations. The Boby mobile robots and workstations provide an effective and cost-efficient entry into automated order fulfillment with limited capital investment, a return on investment in less than two years, and the flexibility to quickly scale operations to meet demand. BOBY can handle a 600kg payload, and throughput of 600 picks per hour – providing up to three times more picking productivity and a 30 percent reduction in storage space. 

“Our mission is providing our clients a competitive advantage, and to achieve that goal, we must continuously add technologies that address the growing demand and changing landscape order fulfillment providers face. The Scallog goods to person system offers tremendous modularity and an easy entry into automation—two key benefits for growing fulfillment operations. We look forward to introducing the technology to our clients as we continue to provide world-class automated systems,” said Aaron Jones, president of Bastian Solutions.

Australian supermarket chain rolls out AI-powered grocery carts

Grocery shoppers in Australia will soon be able to zip in and out of the store in record time, bypassing the lines for cashiers or self-checkout kiosks altogether. They can just walk in, make their selections, and walk out with their bags in hand.

The secret to this express shopping experience is the “Caper Cart,” an AI (artificial intelligence)-powered smart trolley from San Francisco-based Instacart. In its first deployment in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, the system is being tested by Coles Supermarkets, a food and beverage retailer with more than 1,800 grocery and liquor stores throughout the country.
