Ambi Robotics unveils AmbiStack, a robotic system designed to automate the complex process of stacking items onto pallets or into containers achieving maximum density. With the global warehouse automation market projected to surpass $55 billion by 2030, AmbiStack addresses a critical demand for efficiency and scalability in supply chain operations.
“Logistics companies are under continuous pressure to deliver items faster and for lower cost, which puts a lot of strain on operations to maintain reliability while rapidly adapting for the future,” says Jim Liefer, CEO of Ambi Robotics. “AmbiStack can easily be configured to automate the repetitive motions involved in a wide variety of stacking and palletizing applications, driving greater accuracy and efficiency, while future-proofing warehouse operations.”
Key Takeaways:
- AmbiStack empowers warehouse operations across manufacturing, distribution, and ecommerce sectors by rapidly and reliably stacking high-density mixed SKUs, reducing downstream transportation costs. This solution alleviates the burden of repetitive, injury-prone motions for workers, enabling them to transition into higher-value roles as Robot Operators, focusing on assisting robotic operations when needed.
- AmbiStack features advanced AI technology which allows the system to stack items without prior knowledge of size, position, or appearance. Powered by an AI vision system based on foundation models and built on knowledge from over 200k operational hours of high-fidelity focused data, AmbiStack analyzes, tracks, and picks each item while performing quality control checks. Its AI planning system, built on simulation-to-reality technology, eliminates the need for tedious real world data collection, allowing rapid deployment into production. AmbiStack uses reinforcement learning to reason about the most efficient stacking of unfamiliar items, adapting to real-world conditions on-the-fly to maximize pallet and container utilization.
