In 2018, the companies announced a collaboration to establish a delivery network that combines artificial intelligence, advanced robotics and automation in a bold new way, bringing first-of-its-kind technology to America.<\/p>\n<p>The delivery network relies on highly automated fulfillment centers. At the hub sites, more than 1,000 bots move around giant 3D grids, orchestrated by proprietary control systems. The grid, known as The Hive, contains totes filled with products and ready-to-deliver customer orders. As customers&#8217; orders near delivery times, bots retrieve products from The Hive and present them at pick stations for items to be sorted for delivery, a process governed by algorithms that ensure items are intelligently packed. For example, fragile items are placed on top, bags are evenly weighted, and each order is optimized to fit into the lowest number of bags, reducing plastic use. Bags are also recyclable, reflecting Kroger&#8217;s commitment to its Zero Hunger | Zero Waste commitment to rid its communities of hunger and waste.<\/p>\n<p>Kroger&#8217;s end-to-end cold solutions keep groceries fresh once loaded into a customized refrigerated delivery van, which can store up to 20 orders. Powerful machine learning algorithms optimize delivery routes, considering factors such as road conditions and optimal fuel efficiency. Vans may travel up to 90 minutes with orders from the hub and spoke facilities to make deliveries. Associates at the spoke facility will deliver orders within their service area, adding ZIP codes as demand grows.<\/p>\n<p>Kroger currently operates customer fulfillment centers in <span class=\"xn-location\">Monroe, OH<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Groveland, FL<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Forest Park, GA<\/span> (<span class=\"xn-location\">Atlanta<\/span>), <span class=\"xn-location\">Pleasant Prairie, WI<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Dallas, TX<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Romulus, MI<\/span> (<span class=\"xn-location\">Detroit<\/span>) and <span class=\"xn-location\">Aurora, CO<\/span> with additional customer fulfillment centers slated for <span class=\"xn-location\">California<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Frederick, MD<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Phoenix, AZ<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Cleveland, OH<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Charlotte, NC<\/span>, as well as <span class=\"xn-location\">South Florida<\/span> and the Northeast.<\/p>\n<p>*Customers in <span class=\"xn-location\">Jacksonville<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Miami<\/span> and <span class=\"xn-location\">Tampa<\/span> can order fresh groceries for delivery at Kroger.com or on the Kroger app, set up a Kroger loyalty account, and earn points to save on fuel at participating Shell stations.<\/p>\n<p><b>Media Assets<br \/><\/b>To download Kroger Delivery photography and video, visit <u><a href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=3772355-1&amp;h=2998323606&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fbrandfolder.com%2Fkroger%2Fkroger-delivery%3Fguest_pw%3D4be09917da7ef7491e500e47df619c324e1aa7798e47bdbbd2688bed7d027557&amp;a=here\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">here<\/a><\/u>.<\/p>\n<p><b>About Kroger<br \/><\/b>At The <u><a href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=3772355-1&amp;h=272334760&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.kroger.com%2F&amp;a=Kroger\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Kroger<\/a><\/u> Co.
