# Boxbot

> Boxbot is an Alameda, California robotics company building AI-enabled automated storage and parcel-handling systems for the supply chain. Its modular platform turns flat conveyors into three-dimensional, high-density storage that can store, sort, and sequence packages of varying sizes with minimal floor space. After pivoting from autonomous last-mile delivery vehicles, Boxbot now sells a hardware-and-software system aimed at last-mile delivery stations, 3PLs, air cargo, and cross-dock operations, promising faster vehicle loading and denser, more intelligent package flow at lower cost.

## Products & services

- **Boxbot System** — AI-powered dynamic storage hardware with hands-free automated load/unload. A modular gantry architecture stores, sorts, and sequences size-agnostic parcels in a dense vertical footprint up to 25 feet tall, handling items from roughly 6x6x1 inches to 35x24x24 inches at 250-4,000+ pieces per hour.
- **Boxbot Operating System (BOS)** — Software platform that optimizes facility and network operations - real-time space allocation, sequence and inventory optimization, sensor-fusion monitoring, and fault detection across the storage system.
- **Flexible Applications** — Configurable deployments for last-mile delivery stations, air cargo and bonded/customs storage, cross-dock buffering, and automated counters.

## Achievements

- Raised $12M Series A in September 2023, bringing total funding to about $29.5M
- Pivoted from autonomous last-mile delivery vehicles to a productized warehouse automation platform
- Recruited former UPS CFO Richard Peretz to its board via Playground Global
- Reported pilot results including 10X faster vehicle loading, 77% inspection-time reduction, and 3X faster pallet building

## Latest updates
