Roboteon, a startup that offers a software platform aimed at helping companies with warehouse robotics deployments, has emerged from stealth to unveil its Robotics Fulfillment Platform, the company announced today.
The company's software platform spans core integration and workflow enablement to advanced fulfillment orchestration in heterogeneous environments, leveraging AI to optimize task flow and fulfillment execution, among other capabilities, Roboteon explained.
Interest in robots in distribution is very high, driven by labor shortages and rising costs, the company noted. Companies with fulfillment operations must also respond to dynamic business conditions, and in some cases flexibly scale-up to meet peak season requirements. But with that interest, several challenges for logistics providers have emerged, Roboteon added, including:
- Significant time required to integrate the robots with warehouse management system (WMS) software and other distribution ecosystems.
- Inability to add-in different robot types or vendors after the initial deployment.
- Lack of capabilities to orchestrate the flow of work across multiple processes and systems in heterogeneous environments.
- Missed productivity and throughput gains due to the unavailability of advanced execution tools.
Roboteon touts its Robotics Fulfillment Platform as helping companies meet these and other challenges. The company added that the platform also enables people, robots, and other automation to work together as one by synchronizing tasks between humans and robots.
Gana Govind, founder and CEO of Roboteon, is a logistics software entrepreneur and executive who has built an experienced team to launch the company after more than a year of product development. “Roboteon is the leader in warehouse robotics enablement, combining a powerful platform with the know-how to ensure success on the DC floor,” said Govind.
The company is headquartered in San Jose, CA, with a facility that includes a state-of-the-market innovation lab used for real life simulation, integration work, testing, customer visits, R&D and more. Roboteon will feature its robotics platform at the MODEX show in Atlanta March 11-14 (Booth #C3297), including demonstrating multiple robots from different vendors working together under one platform.
