How it works
Robots used
- ASRS
- Shuttle Robot
Ways to buy it
- Raas — a subscription covering robot, software and support.
- Purchase Buy the robot (plus software and service plans, usually).
- Rental — the machine for days or weeks.
Bot or Not?
A robot makes sense when…
- The job is high, dangerous, or hard to reach
- It is huge or repetitive (acres, nights, square metres)
- You need data you will compare over time
- You need eyes on it right now
Hire a human when…
- It is small, low and one-off
- It needs hands, judgement or a repair
- Weather, permits or timing make robots awkward
- Nobody has defined the job yet
Here's the catch for this job
- RaaS lowers upfront cost; check minimum term and per-pick fees.
- Ask for references with similar SKU profiles and throughput.
- Integration with your WMS is often the long pole.

What it costs
Published ranges, each with a receipt. Not quotes: your price depends on scope, location and date. older price = 18+ months.
No published prices yet. We only show prices we can link to a source, and we haven't found one for this yet. Requesting quotes is the fastest way to find out, and every request helps us map the real market.
Price history

What to specify and ask
Put these in your request and you'll get a real price instead of "it depends":

- SKU count and order profile
- Throughput (units or pallets per hour)
- Shifts per day
- WMS/ERP in use
