Fetch Robotics raised $25 million in Series B funding

December 6, 2017 By Technologies.org Leave a Comment

Fetch Robotics, provider of the leading platform for collaborative robotic solutions, today announced that it has raised $25 million in Series B funding. The round was led by Sway Ventures with participation from existing investors O’Reilly AlphaTech Ventures, Shasta Ventures and SB Group US (“Softbank”). The Series B round brings Fetch Robotics’ total funding to date to $48 million. The new capital will be used to meet accelerating worldwide customer demand for Fetch Robotics’ unique approach to delivering intralogistic technologies and systems.

“We are seeing first-hand that the growth in e-commerce and an expanding on-demand economy are contributing to unprecedented labor challenges faced by the $5 trillion global logistics industry,” according to Melonee Wise, CEO of Fetch Robotics. “With labor in short supply, our customers are still able to quickly realize significant, measurable productivity increases by deploying our Autonomous Mobile Robots.”

The Fetch Robotics Platform combines the industry’s broadest line of mobile robots with a unique, cloud-based software system. The Freight series of Autonomous Mobile Robots (“AMRs”) support multiple applications, including material transport systems and automated data collection. The FetchCore™ cloud software enables customers to deploy in hours, adapt in moments, and generate powerful insights from robot data. The combination addresses the widest range of applications – finding and moving anything from parts to pallets in warehouses, factories and distribution centers – and delivers the fastest time to automation of any solution on the market.

“Warehouses today are far more dynamic than in the past – and they need to be in order to adapt to constantly changing parameters,” according to John Santagate, Research Director – Service Robotics, IDC. “The Fetch Robotics solution provides their customers with faster time to automation and the means to continually adapt to changing supply and demand.”

Advancements in robotics and self-guided vehicle technologies have enabled robots to enter the workplace as collaborators that can supplement and increase the productivity of human labor. Unlike many systems that can take weeks or months to deploy software and infrastructure, train robots on their environment, and integrate them with dedicated IT systems, Fetch Robotics systems are up and running in a matter of hours. At Fetch Robotics’ customer RK Logistics, the AMRs were up and running in a matter of days and now handle 30% to 50% of items in their facility. Fetch Robotics customers can also add or modify workflows with a few clicks and adapt in real time to changing conditions.

Fetch Robotics’ AMRs require no software installation or changes of any kind to a facility. After a single drive-through, the FetchCore software builds a map of the facility that all robots use for navigation, allowing them to travel quickly and efficiently anywhere they need to go. AMRs use onboard intelligence to dynamically avoid obstacles and ensure safety, adapting as they go and sharing what they learn. FetchCore provides an intuitive interface for creating and managing workflows and supports powerful analytics for optimizing material flow, finding misplaced inventory, and minimizing inventory shrinkage.

Fetch Robotics systems are deployed globally in warehouses, factories, and distribution centers for major multinational companies. The company was recently ranked #5 in Top 25 supply chain management startups 2017 and is the top robotics company on the list.1

“The warehouse and logistics automation market is estimated at over $40 billion today, and is poised to double over the next five years,” said Brian Nugent, Founding General Partner at Sway Ventures. “Our investment in Fetch complements and extends our portfolio of exceptional leaders who are transforming the global supply chain.”
