How it works

Robots used

  • Packing 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.
