Reality check

The useful boundary is what works repeatedly in a real environment—not what looks impressive in a demo.

Works well when

Repetitive movement, picking or sortation with measurable demand
Sites with stable layouts and a clear WMS/WES owner
Pilots that include peak traffic and exception handling

Verify before buying

SKU mix, peak orders, route length and charging capacity
Floor, aisle, fire-route and lift constraints
Inventory accuracy and who resolves blocked tasks

Not a magic solution

A replacement for fixing inaccurate inventory data
A profitable project at any order volume
A pilot that tests only a quiet demonstration route
