Boxbot

We were founded in 2017 to transform conveyors into intelligent, three-dimensional package handling systems. Our platform stores, sorts, and sequences high-throughput items of any size, requiring minimal physical space. We specialize in robotics for supply chain, e-commerce, parcel delivery, mixing centers, and delivery stations.

Our Boxbot System offers AI-enabled dynamic buffering and storage. It’s built for high-density storage of varying item sizes with hands-free loading and unloading. It supports multiple tray sizes and adjusts storage height based on the item. The system has a robust, fault-tolerant design with modular gantry architecture, ensuring easy access, low maintenance, and no single point of failure. It’s a scalable, flexible, and customizable platform built with standard components for various deployments.

The Boxbot Operating System (BOS) runs critical operations. It uses AI to optimize performance, adapt to different environments, and provide system intelligence through sensor fusion.

Our system is used for:

• Streamlining vehicle loading, order management, and wave dispatch in last-mile delivery stations.
• Automating customs storage and inspections in air cargo and bonded storage.
• Grouping, sequencing, and sorting items for optimal pallet building and dispatch in cross-dock buffering.
• On-demand single item retrieval in industrial or public-facing automated counters.

The system delivers:

• 2X storage density
• 99.9% uptime
• 80% productivity improvement
• 5K+ pieces per hour
• 10X faster vehicle loading speed
• 77% reduction in inspection time
• 3X increase in pallet building efficiency
• 14-second item retrieval time

It handles items like cartons, cases, and totes. Small polybags, letters, cylinders, and bags can also be processed when placed in totes. The smallest item accepted is 6”x6”x1” and 1 lb; the largest is 35”x24”x24” and 75 lbs. Modules can be built up to 25 feet tall, and system throughput ranges from 250 PPH to over 4,000 PPH, depending on configuration.

Our systems are ideal for handling, buffering, or storing sub-unit load items, especially when item size or weight varies. We serve sectors like parcel delivery, 3PL, airports, industrial, and retail.

Our mission is to improve warehouse operations and efficiency.

We expect our employees to adapt quickly, exceed expectations, and continuously improve efficiency. We respect each other, value long-term progress, and unite around a shared mission. We encourage taking ownership of projects, showing initiative, and supporting team success.
