UniCarriers Americas announces collaboration with Vecna Robotics

Material handling equipment manufacturer UniCarriers Americas, Marengo, Ill., has announced its collaboration with Vecna Robotics, Waltham, Mass., a provider of autonomous material handling systems, to offer a line of self-driving vehicles for warehouses, distribution centers, and manufacturing applications.

Vecna Robotics will equip UCA’s center rider pallet SPXe and electric tow tractor TGXe models with its autonomous navigation technology, learning algorithms, and work flow orchestration software to create autonomous mobile robots for moving bulk material up to 10,000 lbs.

The two models also will be integrated with Vecna’s pivot.al™ orchestration system, which is an AI-based fleet manager that analyzes operations to coordinate and distribute real-time tasks among employees, robots, and associated systems based on capabilities, location, and availability.
