Southern Glazer's Wine & Spirits (Southern Glazer's) and Symbotic Inc. (Nasdaq: SYM), today announced they have entered into a strategic agreement and intend to deploy Symbotic’s A.I.-powered software and robotics warehouse automation systems in select Southern Glazer’s distribution centers. The companies have agreed to implement the first of these systems by 2025.
