Four interesting companies have made it to the final round of the "IFOY Start-up of the Year" spin-off award. One of these four companies, alongside mocci - made to work , CYBRID and BOX ID Systems GmbH, is Brightpick. The innovation that Brightpick has launched is called Brightpick Autopicker and is, according to the company, the world's first autonomous mobile picking robot. It is able to pick and consolidate orders directly in the aisles of the warehouse. Unlike other fulfillment robots, the Brightpick Autopicker does not have to travel back and forth to central picking stations, which enables faster picking and higher throughput. All information about the Brightpick Autopicker can be found on the IFOY AWARD homepage at https://lnkd.in/dnuqUbbN Together with the other IFOY finalists, Brightpick will be at the TEST CAMP INTRALOGISTICS in Dortmund on April 10 and 11. The company will undergo the three-stage IFOY audit on the previous days. On April 10 and 11, our trade visitors will then have the opportunity to take a close look at the Autopicker, talk to experts and test it extensively hands-on.

We’ve created robotic trailers that automate the pick-up/drop-off process. Our trailers, enabled by smart Wi-Fi, can move loaded shipping containers (for trucks, boats, or trains) faster than ever! This groundbreaking technology propels container handling into the future. We're slashing loading/unloading times from 3 hours to 3 minutes! 👏 Sea shipping containers are the backbone of international freight. With over 90% of the world's freight traveling in ISO sea shipping containers, QuickLoadz Intermodal Robotics is right at the heart of this global need. We're revolutionizing how we move things from point A to point B. Operations can now be streamlined, reducing costs for businesses involved in freight transport.

Did you know #CEO's in public or VC-backed AGV & AMR Robotics companies (that can be considered a "startup") run a c.1/14 chance of being replaced (voluntarily or not)? This increase dramatically when looking at companies founded since 2010. Question: Will this increase in coming years? And, what are the main reasons? Could hyped market valuations and a perceived lack of performance by backers have anything to do with this? This and more #AGV & #AMR sector analysis in our upcoming report on the status of the AGV & AMR Robotics sector. Yes, we also go deep into the definition of what makes an AGV v AMR (hint - there is a grey scale).
