Summary of Innovation
The world’s first Class 1 electric, stand-up autonomous forklift, the FoxBot has successfully unloaded more than 2 million pallets across 42 customer sites, improving worker safety and unloading efficiency while maximizing uptime.
Developed with innovative, proprietary technology, the FoxBot automates the unloading of a wide range of pallet sizes, including 40x48 and nonstandard pallets, with a capacity to unload approximately 25 pallets every hour. The FoxBot is an all-electric, self-recharging system powered by a battery with 18-20 hours of life for sustainable operations.
Innovation Statement
Using real-time vision, machine learning, and remote safety sensors featuring LiDAR perception, the FoxBot maneuvers the loading dock and warehouse floor safely and efficiently – generating a 40% savings on labor costs while enhancing worker safety.
Applicability
Unsafe operation is the top OSHA forklift violation. The FoxBot is designed with modern safety standards for both forklifts and automated mobile robots and strictly adheres to speed limits and safety protocols.
