Founded in 2018, Syrius Robotics is a global technology company specialized in autonomous mobile robots (AMR) for smart warehouse logistics. It integrates advanced robotics and artificial intelligence technologies to create solutions for warehouse and fulfilment centers. Due to the rise of e-commerce and the demand for a faster and more flexible movement of goods, warehouse and fulfilment operators are facing increasingly complex delivery and logistic challenges today. Speed, product diversification, same-day delivery, volume, safety, labor shortage are some problems which are having an impact on e-commerce in a wide range of industries, from apparel, retail, automotive, to even electronics, and pharmaceutical industries. Syrius Robotics was founded with one goal: be the solution to these problems. It makes warehouse automation affordable, effective, flexible, secure and quick. Syrius aims to create a fully automated and intelligent warehouse supply chain system globally. Some warehouses and fulfilment centers have been using AGVs and other costly automation solutions to increase efficiency, but the solutions are expensive. The deployment and employee training also takes a long time. Syrius has established and integrated an end-to-end, flexible and simplified solution to transform warehouse productivity through leveraging its AMR (autonomous mobile robot) and AI–the Flexcomet(TM) AMR and FlexGalaxy(TM) Intelligent Warehouse System.
As per LogisticsIQ – leading market research and advisory firm for logistics and supply chain, Warehouse Automation Market is expected to reach the mark of $30B+ by 2026 with a double digit growth rate.
Key benefits of Syrius’ warehouse solution include:
- Fast to deploy – No disruption to the existing warehouse infrastructure or workflow. Deployment can be completed in 2 hours.
- Easy to use – The FlexComet(TM) SL-50 AMR works right out of the box and comes with intuitive user interface. Little-to-none training is needed for warehouse employees.
- Scalable – Scale up as demands grow. Simply add more robots during holiday rushes.
Syrius’ intelligent system can easily integrate with mainstream WMS, MES, ERP and others, providing real-time data intelligence for optimization of whole warehouse operations.
The interplay of logistics and robotics is always a source of attraction for the investment institutions. As early as January 2020, this China based robotics startup closed a series A round of funding of more than USD 10 million from Sequoia Capital. Since September 2019, Syrius Robotics has developed strategic partnerships with warehouse and fulfilment companies worldwide and is now serving some world-class companies like Mitsubishi and Kantsu Cooperation. Syrius also won the “Good Design Award” in 2019 in Tokyo. Syrius’ founding team comes from Tencent, Alibaba, NVidia, DJI and other technology conglomerates. The young startup currently has 200 employees with offices in Shenzhen, Beijing, Tokyo and Singapore. Syrius has seen an immense growth in mainland China, Japan and Singapore and is now looking forward to increase its global footprint by entering into the Middle East and European markets.
