ARCUEIL, France, May 24, 2022--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News:

BALYO (FR0013258399, Ticker: BALYO, eligible for PEA-PME savings schemes), a technological leader in the design and development of innovative robotic solutions for material handling trucks, announces the signing of a commercial agreement with Auchan for the management of more than 2,000 pallets within its distribution logistics center.

Auchan Retail France intends to accelerate the adoption of handling robots and has chosen BALYO to provide autonomous storage and retrieval of 2,000 high-rack pallets within its logistics platform.

As a reminder, the site inaugurated in 2021 is operational with a fleet of robots since 2021 fall. It is a traditional logistics module formerly operated by a 3PL, which has been transformed since then to handle the movement of pallets "dock to dock" in a totally autonomous way. Delivery and storage operations are carried out in real conditions, representative of those of logistics warehouses or production sites.

This partnership with Auchan includes the storage and retrieval of more than 2,000 pallets for a 6-month period, which can be renewed, based on an "as a service" pallet movement offer, i.e. paid for storage and pallet movement. The pallets will be stored for 3 weeks in narrow (1.9m) aisles for reach robot (3.1m), with up to 200 pallets stored per day over an 8-hour period.

Pascal Rialland, CEO of BALYO, says: "We are delighted to welcome such a prestigious retailer as Auchan as part of our operations. With this site, BALYO had launched a unique project in order to provide a logistics platform in real situation for its future customers. This collaboration was initiated end of April and will allow Auchan's teams to follow the simplicity of use and the added value that BALYO robots bring to complex and diversified logistic environments, especially at high heights. More specifically, this contract allows operational teams to be in close and immediate contact with robots, to reduce the learning curve in robotics by several months, even years, and to commit themselves with full knowledge of the situation. In the industrial world, the impossibility of short-term in situ confrontation with robots can extend to more than 12 months the period between the initial discussions and the actual launching of the robots. In the scope of this contract, less than 3 weeks elapsed between the first discussions and the placing in storage and the teams learn immediately".

Next financial release: sales of first half of 2022 on July 21, 2022.

Markets are shaky. Your income stream doesn’t have to be.

Will we have enough to ‘live a simple life’ in retirement? Many other retirees wonder the same thing as you, and may be in similar financial circumstances where they’re able to pay the bills and have money saved in their retirement accounts.

The stock market pulled back from the brink of a bear market as rate-hike expectations eased, at least for now. Here's what it will take to signal a bottom.

Financial technology company Upstart Holdings (NASDAQ: UPST) has proven to be one of the most volatile stocks on Wall Street since going public at the end of 2020. Investors were shocked when Upstart's 2022 first-quarter earnings report revealed a surge in loans on the company's balance sheet, a potentially risky situation in an economy that appears to be slowing. Upstart receives a fee for the loans it touches, making it more a technology platform than an actual lender.
