Its system is designed to work with a wide range of robotic arms and grippers and supports group management, controlling up to 50 robots at once. The product targets backend automation as companies accelerate adoption of warehouse robotics. The company plans to use new funding to expand operations internationally to meet rising demand. Financially, the company has raised multiple rounds and recently announced a sizable Series B to support growth.
