The End-to-End Autonomous Warehouse

Distribution Automation

Symbotic’s Distribution Solution singulates and automates material in their native cases from pallet in, to pallet out.

Solutions that also include the BreakPack capability automate loose-item and mixed goods management in addition to whole case processing in 1 operation.

Key Solution Features

• Automation for native case handling and mixed goods management. Varying sizes, material, softness, weight, and shapes are managed together.
• High density ASRS (automated storage and retrieval system) increases use of real estate.
• Smart pallet building capabilities creates taller pallets sequenced to protect inventory and create downstream efficiency gains.
• End-to-end automation in 1 solution. From depalletization, to inventory management, to order build and prep – facility operations are automated. 

Micro-Fulfillment

With SymMicro, Symbotic’s proven technology has been adapted to best support modern consumer buying habits, turning back of store space at local retailers into inventory management and fulfillment centers, and enhancing small goods management for all industries.

When the Symbotic Distribution Solution and SymMicro are used in tandem, a near-touchless supply chain is created from DC to the consumers’ hands. 

Warehouse-as-a-Service

Symbotic partners with Exol to provide a nationwide network of fully-automated warehouses to streamline the supply chain and provide advanced logistics to all businesses. With a combination of advanced robotics, intelligent software, and a nationwide fulfillment and transportation network, every shipment becomes a precise, calculated movement.

Robots

Symbotic Solutions are comprised of a variety of robotic hardware, each supporting a different capability, creating fully automated warehouse operations.

Symbotic innovated the robotic technology – the SymBot and the BP Bot – and the automated storage and retrieval (ASRS) environment for every solution, as well as key robotic elements throughout each system, creating a complete and cohesive automated solution.

For moving and static robotic elements that do not require autonomous navigation, Symbotic partners with other leading industry technology providers.

AI Driven Software

Symbotic’s A.I.-powered software seamlessly orchestrates hundreds of industrial robots within the system. The comprehensive proprietary artificial intelligence software manages the entire end-to-end system from case digitization and complex bot routing to sequencing, planning, and building the perfect mixed-SKU pallet.

The self-learning software takes in thousands of data points within the warehouse and down through the supply chain. The sentient-like warehouse processes operational, human training, shipping, and downstream details faster than humanly capable and adjusts operations in real time to create downstream gains.
