Fox Robotics Boasts Huge Success with Autonomous Trailer Loader/Unloader

Fox Robotics has announced that its installed base of FoxBot autonomous trailer loader/unloaders (ATL) has unloaded over 2.5 million pallets since the company introduced it in 2019. Fox Robotics nearly tripled its annual recurring revenue (ARR) from 2022 to 2023 and in the last 12 months, doubled its installed fleet of FoxBot autonomous forklifts.

The Fox Robotics autonomous forklift is the world’s first Class 1 electric, stand-up autonomous forklift designed for load/unload operations on warehouse loading docks. Classified as an autonomous mobile robot (AMR), the FoxBot autonomous forklift automates an array of operator tasks to improve workplace safety, increase productivity, and enhance employee satisfaction. It helps warehouse and logistics leaders realize a wide range of benefits, including:

• Up to 60 percent savings costs related to labor due to the FoxBot forklift operating without a driver. One warehouse associate can supervise up to six FoxBot autonomous forklifts at once;
• Enhanced worker safety by removing forklift operators from dangerous situations;
• Unloading trailers in 45 minutes;
• Reduced product loss and damage; and
• Increased uptime due to the predictability, speeds, and long battery life of the ATL.

Developed with innovative and proprietary machine learning and vision technology, the Fox Robotics ATL automates the unloading of pallets from trailers so workers can focus on critical responsibilities in the warehouse. Using real-time vision and remote safety sensors featuring Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) perception and the following capabilities, the FoxBot autonomous forklift maneuvers the warehouse floor safely and efficiently. Additional features include:

• Capacity to unload over 60 double- or 30 single-stacked 40×48 pallets per hour;
• 360-degree monitoring that detects and avoids obstacles, LiDAR sensors, cameras, Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), and fully redundant safety braking that prevent collisions and enhance worker safety;
• An all-electric rechargeable system powered by a battery with 18-20 hours of life;
• Connectivity to cellular and Wi-Fi networks, enabling a warehouse team to quickly integrate the FoxBot autonomous forklift into logistics workflows and complete deployment within a few hours for continuous operations and immediate efficiency gains; and
• Scalable and flexible configurations that fit a range of warehouse environments.
