Vecna Robotics has raised $31 million in new funding as it expands its autonomous material-handling systems across more of the warehouse workflow, according to the company’s announcement.
The round was led by Unless, with participation from Drive Capital, Tiger Global, Highland Capital Partners and Tectonic Ventures.
Vecna already operates across pallet and case movement using autonomous forklifts, tuggers and pallet-moving systems coordinated through its Pivotal software platform. The latest push extends that footprint into receiving and outbound operations, including pallet stacking and de-stacking and autonomous trailer loading and unloading.
The company is also scaling CaseFlow, its case-picking system launched in 2025. Vecna says demand for the product has more than doubled year over year, while a deployment with GEODIS delivered roughly 2× the picking throughput of manual pallet-jack operations.
Vecna will use the capital for deployment capacity, product development and commercial expansion.
Vecna designs and manufactures its robots in Massachusetts.
