Urbx
Urbx builds a high-density, high-throughput goods-to-person automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS) using proprietary AI-driven TowerBots that traverse a dual-grid 3D storage structure, computing shortest 3D paths to retrieve totes and cases. The system claims fulfillment of a 50-line order in under 2.5 minutes and scales vertically for urban micro-fulfillment. TowerBot 2.0 (2025) adds an adaptive gripper handling both totes and cases. Urbx sells through systems integrators (Designed Conveyor Systems, Integrated Systems Design) and contracted Celestica for manufacturing; in February 2026 it launched a Mixed Pallet Case Handling System with ISD, exhibited at MODEX 2026.
