Each robot sorts between 1000-1400 packages per hour depending on package mix.
Description:
In 2020, FedEx introduced four pick-and-place robots into its small package sort facility at the Memphis Hub. These robots were one of the first of their kind when it came to sorting packages at a major sorting facility. The robots work two 4-hour shifts - a day sort and a night sort. Each robot sorts anywhere from 1000-1400 packages per hour depending on package mix. In 2021, FedEx plans to expand the number of robots not only in Memphis, but other operations in its network.
