Jabil’s Retail Industry Leadership Reinforced
by Expanded Manufacturing in North America, Ongoing Investment in
Digitalization, and Continuous Collaboration with Retail Technology
Disruptors
Jabil Inc. (NYSE: JBL) today announced enhanced digital commerce
capabilities, encompassing the design, development, and
manufacturing of retail and warehouse automation solutions, at a
newly expanded center of excellence in Chihuahua, Mexico. The
recent addition of this third plant in Chihuahua, the fifth in the
region, offers customers access to over one-million square-feet of
regional production capacity. In addition to elevating Jabil’s
operational efficiency and flexibility, customers can benefit from
increased nearshoring opportunities and greater access to robotics
and process automation, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and additive
manufacturing.
“Over the past two decades, Jabil has been at the forefront of
the retail industry, working alongside valued customers to drive
the development and delivery of the most advanced digital commerce
solutions — from warehouse automation to in-store digitalization,
including electronic shelf labels, autonomous robots, point-of-sale
systems, contactless and embedded payment solutions, intelligent
vending machines, self-checkout systems, and more,” said Rafael
Renno, SVP, Global Business Units, Jabil. “Our investments in this
industry enable customers to accelerate time to market and scale
their solutions. Jabil plays an instrumental role in the industry
with its capabilities in product development, industrialization,
and factory automation.”
At NRF’24 (Booth 4375), Jabil will showcase the latest
digital commerce innovations on behalf of leading retailers, such
as Stop & Shop, along with game-changing retail tech solution
providers, including Ocado, Revolut, SumUp, and VusionGroup, to
name a few.
Automating Retail Workflows
As a manufacturing solutions provider with significant
retail-industry experience, Jabil is uniquely positioned to keep
pace with evolving omnichannel shopping experiences, changing
customer preferences, ongoing labor constraints, and supply chain
management complexities.
For Ocado Group, a technology-led, global software and robotics
platform company, Jabil is expanding its additive manufacturing and
scaling the manufacturing of Ocado’s Series 600 robot. The new,
lighter and more efficient fulfilment robot enables a step change
in the performance and economics of Automated Storage and Retrieval
Systems (ASRS) for grocery and non-grocery applications. Over the
past two years, Jabil has supported Ocado's rapid design iterations
by leveraging its complete range of additive manufacturing
capabilities.
“Working with Jabil has enabled the commercialization of our
Series 600 robot, which features around 300 3D-printed parts that
slash overall weight by two thirds and empower us to be more
creative with unique part geometries,” said Paul Turner, COO at
Ocado. “We are benefiting from Jabil’s increased manufacturing
capacity in Mexico, along with their know-how in additive
manufacturing and materials science, to scale volume manufacturing
of our cutting-edge robots.”
In-Store Digitalization Transforms Shopping
Experiences
Badger Technologies, a product division of Jabil and pioneer in
retail robotics, also is taking advantage of expanded manufacturing
capacity in Mexico to increase production volumes while reducing
supply chain and logistics costs, especially for customers in North
America, which is considered one of the biggest retail markets in
the world. Badger Technologies has deployed more than 650
multipurpose, autonomous robots throughout the U.S., including
nearly 400 robots at Stop & Shop stores throughout the
Northeast.
Badger Technologies robots work seamlessly with digital displays
and Electronic Shelf Labels (ESLs), fixed cameras, LIDAR, sensors,
and other cloud-based web services to help retailers transform
their stores into intelligent digital assets. For longstanding
Jabil customer, VusionGroup, the ability to ramp manufacturing to
produce millions of ESL tags monthly at Jabil’s expanded site in
Mexico enables the company to keep pace with a steady stream of
high-volume customer demands.
Moreover, Jabil’s precision automation solutions, which
incorporate advanced quality testing, along with assembly and
alignment capabilities, have helped VusionGroup optimize
productivity and reliability of its latest EdgeSense™ and VUSION
product lines while decreasing production cycle times. “Jabil has a
history of meeting our rigorous demands for reliability, quality,
and cost,” said Philippe Bottine, CEO of North America, VusionGroup
(Booth 5420 at NRF’24). “We are pleased with how Jabil’s latest
innovations in process automation are accelerating the production
of our product portfolio, including smart rails that combine
connectivity and energy, as well as battery-less digital labels
with enhanced performance to provide a substantial carbon footprint
reduction compared to any existing ESL solution.”
