IT company Yandex and the Perekrestok retail chain are launching a large-scale robotization project for a distribution center. 109 robots will collect orders for the chain's supermarkets in St. Petersburg and the region. They will take over up to 90% of the tasks of assembling refrigerated and perishable goods in the fresh zone, which is about half of the operations of the distribution center. Experts estimate the size of the investment at more than ₽300 million. This is one of the biggest deals on the market.
