Aquabot Automation

Aquabot Automation builds automatic order fulfilment, picking and sorting systems for warehouses and distribution sites. The company is based in Alon Tavor, Israel, and designs modular machinery that can be adjusted to each customer's process and regulations. Its stated aim is to cut footprint, labour and maintenance costs while keeping picking accuracy high. The firm offers a free analysis and consultation before it designs any system.

Picking and sorting machines

• PicSort: a rail-mounted tilt tray carrier with variable speed and magnetic propulsion, which combines picking and sorting at high speed.
• PicCarousel: an automated pick wall with a small footprint that uses robotic technology to reach high pick speeds.
• Multi Level Sorter: a fully customisable sorter that creates efficient routes to every packaging destination.

The site says the picking systems reach 100 percent accuracy, and that the design has patents pending. It also names the problems the machines address, including picking and delivery errors that lead to returns and repackaging, and conventional machines that take up so much space that warehouses sit far from customers. The site notes that online shopping and home delivery are at record levels, and that delayed systems lose customers to competitors.

Delivery and installation

Aquabot describes four steps: understanding the customer's needs, providing a free analysis, designing the system around each process and regulation, and then delivering and installing it wherever the customer is in the world. The first step is a free 60-minute analysis and consultation with its experts. The modular design can grow with the business without replacing the equipment.
