How Warp is introducing robots to automate its network of warehouses

The carp was established in 2021 to help reduce the costs through shipping supply chains of companies in 2021 and reduce costs through shippers, carrier and warehouses.

Now, using the robots to automate the Internet of the warehouses, wants to make supply chains more efficient.

Daniel Sokolovsky said that co-founder and CEO Director General, TechCrunch Switch Always looking for ways to transport more efficiently for their customers who include enterprises such as Walmart, Gopuff and Hellofresh. With progress in the AI, he thought that the company could have more opportunities to automate.

Warp cannot automate the supply chain long-term transport or short-alive delivery aspects, Sokolovsky said, so it works on it rarely potentially varies: the workflows in the inside of their warehouses.

The test warehouse in Los Angeles has joined the cameras on cameras and used computer vision to convert this information to a virtual storage to start testing.

“We have effectively fixed the digital twin or simulation environment for our object,” Sokolovsky said. “[We] Mainly began to throw items on the wall. To be honest, many are so, what if we will do it? What happens if we do it? What will happen if we do anything else? “

One of the first views was to train humanoid robots to use the traditional pallet jacks. Then Warp, some additional technological retrofed began to find success using self-robots.

“We really received a really complicated logistics problems,” Sokolovsky, which is understandable, “Sokolovsky, which is understandable, the system is used, using the AI, which is now in the form of sound, text, email, telephone calls or robotics.” [to make sure] that we empty the cargo, download and download it. In fact, we think we can really continue this and we can really reach our goals as soon as possible without hiring many people. “

Troy Lester, Warp co-founder and Cro, in addition to these robots, from the Test Enterprise, the company will help the main warehouse of warehouses in its network, he said.

“We always complain about the complainant issues,” Leicester said. “Works in these devices do not like them. Therefore, there is an opportunity that allows these institutions to help these robot sets will not only help make these robot sets only better.”

Warp, this removed a number of $ 10 million in a number of dollars to help develop the latest development. There was a round upper and blue bear capital.

Warp tests several different versions of robots and claims to start placing this year.

Sokolovsky, Los Angeles test facility, completely autonomy and company plans to start placing these robots in their nuclear networks – Los Angeles, Chicago, New Jersey, Dallas and Miami – First. Warp does not plan to sell technology to the outside of at least so far – because it gives the rod and its main storage partners, competitive advantage.

“Instead of going and say, an amazing robot company, AI company and this potential concept, like this, not like this, not really affect and serve,” Sokolovsky said. “We have developed an incredible system and an ecosystem that allows you to place such automation over the past few years.”
