DRL Systems Information

DRL has designed, built and installed custom automation solutions for customers in a broad range of industries. They include food processing, metal foundries, wood, metal and flooring products manufacturing, industrial and consumer product development and beverage distribution. Our exposure to a broad range of technologies has allowed us to approach problems without any preconceived notions about what the solutions should look like. Instead, we have become experts at complementing off-the-shelf technologies with innovative custom solutions to generate the greatest ROI for our customers. In 2002, we developed a custom order-preparation system for a beverage distributor. The high volumes and SKU concentrations could not be addressed cost-efficiently with existing technologies, so DRL developed, patented and installed new technology to meet the requirements. In the course of this project, we investigated a range of inventive designs and discovered significant market opportunities for our order-preparation technology. We decided to focus our resources on this market and develop a portfolio of core technologies that could generate very attractive ROI under a broad range of volume and SKU distributions. DRL Systems sold its first InnoPick automated order preparation system in 2011.
