Systems integrator Peak Technologies hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony and grand opening of its executive briefing center (EBC) and global headquarters in Littleton, Massachusetts, this week.
The event on Thursday, April 17, included tours of the expanded 60,000 square-foot headquarters, which includes innovative technology stations demonstrating advanced automation for the warehouse. Technologies on display include machine vision inspection, multi-directional scan tunnels, Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs), RFID, AI-powered machine vision analytics, powered exoskeleton lift-assist suits, climate-controlled BOPIS (Buy Online Pickup In Store) lockers, and more, according to the company.
The facility employs 80 people, with plans to expand to more than 100, company leaders said in a press release Friday.
“We created our Executive Briefing Center—the region’s newest and most comprehensive technology innovation center—to give our customers first-hand engagement with today’s most cutting-edge solutions for supply chain automation,” Tony Rivers, president and CEO of Peak Technologies, said in the release. “The EBC demonstrates the technologies that improve warehouse operations with connected data, smart automation, advanced analytics and integrated systems that provide dramatic improvements in productivity, efficiency, and visibility.”
The facility also provides high-speed staging and kitting of more than 2,500 mobile devices per day, ships more than 500 field repair service kits daily, and offers quick-turn mobile device repairs, the company said.
