About the Company

Sorting Robotics

Designs and manufactures cannabis-automation robotics systems

Sorting Robotics designs and builds robotic systems and software to automate cannabis production for brands, growers, and co-packers. Its hardware and AI software use computer vision and real-time data analysis to perform tasks like infusion, filling, and coating, increasing speed and precision; Jiko handles 800–1,000 pre-rolls per hour, Jiko+ targets high-viscosity concentrates, Omni fills vape cartridges, and Stardust coats pre-rolls. The company differentiates itself with a vertically integrated robotics stack focused on the cannabis value chain and a track record of high-throughput automation, supported by venture funding and accelerator experience (Y Combinator). Its goal is to raise production efficiency and lower operating costs for cannabis producers across North America, helping them scale manufacturing and meet demand.
