About the Company

Slip Robotics

Robotic loading automation for trucks

Slip Robotics provides the SlipBot, an Automated Loading Robot offered as a Robots-as-a-Service for loading docks. The system loads or unloads a full trailer in about five minutes by staging freight at the dock and moving it as a single unit, with control software (SlipController and SlipView) and attachments for non-uniform items, all without facility changes or IT setup. They differentiate themselves with rapid deployment, trailer-agnostic hardware, a data-driven management layer, and a safety advantage by removing forklift operators from trailer interiors under a subscription model. Their goal is to cut dock loading time and truck dwell, boost throughput, and scale deployments while delivering actionable operational data.
