Automated warehouse process flow

The Fully Automated Warehouse Platform

Symbotic reinvented the traditional warehouse with a system built on fully autonomous robots and A.I.-powered software — replacing manual processes with intelligent automation at every step.

Reinvent the Warehouse

A Different Kind of Automated Warehouse

STAGE 01
STAGE 01

Inbound Cells

Process incoming pallets for induction to the storage structure.

Robotic arms equipped with computer vision and proprietary end-of-arm tools depalletize, singulate and optimize the orientation of cases entering the structure. Each cell is capable of processing 1,700 cases per hour. For floor-loaded trailers, cases are digitized and inducted via conveyors.

Storage & Buffering

SymBot autonomous robots transport cases with speed and efficiency.

The robots pick cases from induction buffers and are intelligently routed to place cases in variable height bays across the dynamic storage structure. As orders are processed, smart tasking and routing software directs autonomous robots to pick and deliver cases to outbound cells, moving at speeds up to 20+ mph.

Outbound Cells

Construct high-density, delivery-ready pallets.

A pair of vision-enabled robots work in coordination to intelligently palletize cases for the highest density and stability at a cell rate of 1,350 cases per hour. Outbound cell robots build and wrap delivery-ready pallets designed for each store\

Flexible Implementation

Implement in New or Existing Facilities

The Symbotic System is flexible enough to be implemented in new or existing operations. The modular design adapts to your building, your products, and your throughput requirements — not the other way around. The modular design makes it easily scalable.

Retrofit

Get more capacity from existing assets. The system processes the same volume in significantly less space. Implementation of a module often frees up space for subsequent modules — further increasing capacity.

Modular

Implemented in modules like building blocks consisting of inbound and outbound cells plus a storage structure. Modules are customizable based on case volume, order profiles, and product characteristics.

Scalable

As your business grows, additional modules can be added seamlessly using the space freed up by the initial implementation — growing capacity without growing footprint.

Integration Points

WMS Integration

Connect Manhattan, SAP, Blue Yonder, or any WMS for real-time inventory sync and order management.

ERP Connectivity

Bi-directional data flow with SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft Dynamics for financial and operational alignment.

IoT & Sensors

Real-time telemetry from thousands of sensors — temperature, humidity, vibration — feeding back into AI optimization.
