Our Vision
Facilitating the transformation to Industry 4.0 through smart and sustainable robotic intralogistics solutions
Our Story
Industry 4.0 is revolutionizing supply chain operations and intralogistics at an unprecedented pace. At the forefront of this transformation are Ai, software, robotic warehouse automation solutions, new technologies, and the Internet of Things (IoT). However, accessing the information necessary to understand and evaluate warehouse automation investment opportunities remains a highly restricted and resource-intensive process.
The fundamental issue that continues to be overlooked by the industry is:
What does warehouse automation cost?
There is a clear gap between businesses seeking to quickly comprehend the benefits of investing in warehouse automation and solution providers who are unable to provide a swift and straightforward answer to this question. Our motivation to bridge this gap led us to create a platform that offers accessible information and knowledge, challenging the status quo.
Our vision was to develop a user-friendly, and intuitive tool that empowers users to rapidly qualify and validate the business case for warehouse automation by understanding its costs. Our mission is to disrupt the industry by enabling businesses to make informed decisions independently, without the need for extensive consultation and the investment of significant time and resources.
We have developed software designed to quickly create and price warehouse automation solutions, providing users with valuable knowledge and investment guidance.
Over the past 15+ years, our team has been deeply involved in all aspects of logistics automation, particularly fulfillment automation. Some of the world’s largest and most complex automated fulfillment systems have been developed under our leadership. We possess an intimate understanding of what it takes to design, manufacture, deploy, support, and ultimately optimize fulfillment systems and workflows.
