Thistle Systems, the UK’s leading integrator of advanced automated storage and picking technologies, is proud to announce the UK launch of Brightpick Autopicker 2.0 – the latest evolution in AI-powered robotic fulfilment.
Building on the success of the original Autopicker, version 2.0 introduces a host of breakthrough features designed to maximise warehouse productivity, efficiency, and flexibility. The upgraded solution achieves super human-level picking rates of 70–80 picks per hour, with up to 50% more throughput compared to the previous generation – all while delivering the unmatched consistency and 24/7 performance of robotics.
At the heart of the new Autopicker 2.0 is Physical AI™ – a suite of proprietary AI models that gives the robot human-like adaptability in dynamic warehouse environments. Combined with the groundbreaking Picking-in-Motion™ technology, the robot now continues picking while in transit to the next storage location, slashing idle time, dramatically improving pick speeds and optimising order consolidation.
The hardware has also seen a major leap forward. Autopicker 2.0 is 40% more compact, 20% faster, and features double the battery life, enabling denser layouts, faster picks, and reduced charging downtime.
Mike Cairns, Managing Director of Thistle Systems, commented, “Autopicker 2.0 represents a genuine game-changer for UK companies looking to streamline order fulfilment. It combines speed, intelligence, and reliability in a way the market hasn’t seen before and we’re thrilled to bring this technology to clients in the UK market.”
Autopicker is already live in multiple high-volume facilities, seamlessly handling thousands of SKUs across ambient, chilled, and pharmaceutical applications. It supports both in-aisle robotic picking and Goods-to-Person workflows, offering unmatched versatility and rapid ROI.
As Brightpick’s official UK integration partner, Thistle Systems offers full consultation, system design, and support to help businesses implement and scale this next-generation solution with confidence.
