eCommerce volumes continue to grow, urban warehouse space is increasingly constrained, and the conveyor-based systems most fulfillment centers rely on were not designed for either challenge. While these systems perform well under steady demand, they struggle to adapt to fluctuations, as their underlying limitation is not manpower, but infrastructure rigidity.

In this session, Unbox Robotics will present a fundamentally different approach: redesigning sortation by moving it off the floor and into vertical space, using mobile robots coordinated by software rather than fixed infrastructure.
