About Symbotic Inc.
Symbotic builds end-to-end warehouse automation for retailers, wholesalers and distribution operators. Its system combines dense storage, autonomous robots, depalletising, palletising, conveyors and AI software to move mixed-SKU cases through receiving, storage, order assembly and shipping.
The software orchestrates traffic and inventory across the facility while robots retrieve cases and build pallets for downstream distribution. Symbotic also offers micro-fulfilment and warehouse-as-a-service configurations, with systems designed to increase storage density, throughput and accuracy in large, continuously operating sites.
