Jabil Inc., a manufacturer of retail and warehouse automation solutions, has added a third production facility in Chihuahua, Mexico, according to a press release.

The recent addition of this third plant in Chihuahua, the fifth in the region, offers customers access to over 1 million square feet of regional production capacity. Customers can benefit from increased nearshoring opportunities and greater access to robotics and process automation, artificial intelligence and additive manufacturing.

For Ocado Group, a software and robotics platform company, Jabil is expanding its additive manufacturing and scaling the manufacturing of Ocado's Series 600 robot. The robot enables a change in the performance and economics of automated storage and retrieval systems for grocery and non-grocery applications.

Badger Technologies, a product division of Jabil, 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. 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 with digital displays and electronic shelf labels, fixed cameras, LIDAR, sensors and other cloud-based web services to help retailers transform their stores into intelligent digital assets.
