Fox Robotics develops automated forklifts that improve the efficiency of unloading trailers in warehouses. Their main product, the Fox Automated Trailer Unloader (ATU), can unload trailers at a speed of 25 pallets per hour and is designed for easy installation without needing integration with existing IT systems or Warehouse Management Systems (WMS). The company uses advanced robotics and machine learning to create safe and effective automation solutions. Unlike many competitors, Fox Robotics focuses on providing scalable solutions that can be quickly implemented for various warehouse tasks, such as loading, unloading, and order picking. The goal of Fox Robotics is to enhance operational efficiency for logistics and warehousing clients while reducing the reliance on manual labor.
