LONDON (Reuters) - British online supermarket and technology group Ocado said on Monday its first robotic warehouse in Asia, built for Japanese partner Aeon, has gone live.

The warehouse, or customer fulfilment centre (CFC) as Ocado calls them, has begun taking orders from customers across the Kanto region for Aeon's "Green Beans" brand.
