Symbotic, a specialist in AI-enabled robotics technology for the supply chain, has announced the acquisition of cellumation, a Bremen, Germany-based automation company and creator of the celluveyor, a patented, software-driven sortation technology.
The celluveyor is made up of hundreds of independently controlled, omnidirectional cells. Each cell can move an item in any direction, meaning the celluveyor does not simply move products; it decides where products should go while moving them.
By replacing traditional conveyor-based sortation with this intelligent, software-driven surface, Symbotic expects to deliver more throughput and handle a wider range of products in a fraction of the space traditional conveyors require.
