获取机器人,协同机器人解决方案的领先平台提供商,今天宣布它已筹集了2500万美元的B系列资金。这圆由摇摆冒险领导,参加现有投资者O'Reilly Alphatech Ventures,Shasta Ventures和SB组美国(“软银”)。B系列圆形将获取机器人的总资金带到4800万美元。新资本将用于满足全球客户需求加速获取机器人机器人的独特方法,以提供史内语科技术和系统。
“我们首先看到了电子商务的增长和扩大的按需经济,为5万亿美元的全球物流业所面临的前所未有的劳动力挑战,”梅隆明,CETCETOBOTICS的CERONEE WISE介绍。“随着劳动力的供应,我们的客户仍然能够通过部署自主移动机器人来快速实现显着的,可衡量的生产力。”
获取机器人平台将业界最广泛的移动机器人与基于云的软件系统相结合。自主移动机器人的货运系列(“AMRS”)支持多种应用,包括材料传输系统和自动数据收集。Fetchcore™云软件使客户能够在小时内部署,适应瞬间,并从机器人数据产生强大的见解。该组合解决了最广泛的应用范围 - 在仓库,工厂和分销中心的零件中找到和移动任何东西 - 以及提供最快的时间来自动化市场上的任何解决方案。
"Warehouses today are far more dynamic than in the past – and they need to be in order to adapt to constantly changing parameters," according to John Santagate, Research Director – Service Robotics, IDC. "The Fetch Robotics solution provides their customers with faster time to automation and the means to continually adapt to changing supply and demand."
Advancements in robotics and self-guided vehicle technologies have enabled robots to enter the workplace as collaborators that can supplement and increase the productivity of human labor. Unlike many systems that can take weeks or months to deploy software and infrastructure, train robots on their environment, and integrate them with dedicated IT systems, Fetch Robotics systems are up and running in a matter of hours. At Fetch Robotics’ customer RK Logistics, the AMRs were up and running in a matter of days and now handle 30% to 50% of items in their facility. Fetch Robotics customers can also add or modify workflows with a few clicks and adapt in real time to changing conditions.
获取机器人的AMRS不需要软件安装或对设施的任何类型的更改。在单一的驱动器之后,Fetchcore软件构建了所有机器人用于导航的设施的地图,允许他们快速有效地旅行他们需要去的地方。AMRS使用车载智能来动态避免障碍,确保安全,随着他们的进入和分享他们所学的障碍。Fetchcore提供了一种用于创建和管理工作流程的直观界面,并支持强大的分析,以优化材料流量,找到错位库存,并最大限度地减少库存收缩。
Fetch Robotics systems are deployed globally in warehouses, factories, and distribution centers for major multinational companies. The company was recently ranked #5 in Top 25 supply chain management startups 2017 and is the top robotics company on the list.[1]
"The warehouse and logistics automation market is estimated at over $40 billion today, and is poised to double over the next five years," said Brian Nugent, Founding General Partner at Sway Ventures. “Our investment in Fetch complements and extends our portfolio of exceptional leaders who are transforming the global supply chain."
来自Sway Ventures的Brian Nugent将被添加到获取机器人的董事会。Nugent将加入来自O'Reilly AlphaTech Ventures的现有董事会成员Bryce Roberts,来自Shasta Ventures,来自She SoftBank的Shasta Ventures,来自Softbank的Shasta jett,来自Tech-RX,以及获取机器人首席执行官梅隆明。
