- Gamification of the Warehouse
- Cobotics
- Same-day Shipping
- Automating the Picking Process
- Big Data
- IoT
The Fetch Cloud Robotics Platform provides the market’s only cloud-driven Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) solution that addresses material handling and data collection for warehousing and intralogistics environments. Cloud robotics is revolutionizing automation by bringing the kind of speed, agility and cost advantages that cloud computing brought to IT.
On-demand automation takes the meaning of physical robotics to unprecedented boundaries, redefining the expectations warehouse managers have from traditional automation technology. It is a proven fact that the deployment of cloud-based applications to enable robotics has greatly enhanced the ability to rapidly and efficiently deploy robotics at scale. Anurag Chandra, Venture Partner at Fort Ross Ventures, said, “Fetch’s cloud-first approach enables on-demand automation, which we believe will transform logistics, manufacturing, retail, and other industries in the U.S. and internationally.
