Company mission
Righthand Robotics' mission is to elevate humanity by turning science fiction into reality, offering robotic pick-and-packing technology to the eCommerce industry.
Our take
The growing eCommerce industry is leading to a rise in order fulfillment centers that require staff to pick and pack items for delivery. However, high staff costs and decreases in staffing capacity make it difficult for demands to be met at an affordable price.
Righthand Robotics designs robots for eCommerce order fulfillment centers, using AI-driven intelligent grippers and computer vision to complete the end-to-end picking and packing process. The robotics can be managed by a software platform called RightPick which is configurable to work with direct-to-consumer, click and collect, BOPIS, or distribution to physical stores.
Whilst the company will face the challenge of robotics becoming increasingly prevalent in order fulfillment centers, it has managed to stand out with its focus on AI-driven computer vision and its flexible approach to delivery model configuration. Through its technology, the company claims that it can help clients meet any scale of demand with consistency, whilst helping them to maintain flexible infrastructure at an affordable price.
