Symbotic, founded in 2007, builds an end-to-end AI-powered robotic automation platform for warehouse and supply chain operations. The system combines a fleet of fully autonomous robots with an intelligent software layer that orchestrates both the robots and the wider warehouse environment. It is designed for large retail, wholesale and distribution companies, and handles millions of cases daily.
The company's technical work spans robotics, autonomous systems, artificial intelligence and supply chain software. The autonomous robot fleet is built to move goods within warehouse operations and reduce labour needs, while the automation software coordinates fleet activity and warehouse operations as a single ecosystem. Operational deployments are reported to cut operating costs for customers substantially.
Symbotic describes its engineering organisation as spanning engineers, robotics specialists and software developers, and operates dedicated Centers of Innovation for continued research and development in warehouse automation. The company serves customers globally and states that its work is focused on the operational problems facing warehouse operators, rather than on any single product.
