TOKYO -- Japanese retail group Aeon is building an automated warehouse that uses artificial intelligence and robots in Chiba Prefecture near Tokyo to help manage stock and deliveries from online shopping, company sources said on Wednesday.
Aeon will join forces with Ocado to construct the automated warehouse by using the British online supermarket's expertise to build an advanced logistics system. The warehouse will be ready in 2023, the sources said. Going online is a key pillar of growth for Aeon.
