Solution Features

Mobile and Compact

With full mobility and a footprint the size of a pallet, Stretch is built to maneuver in and out of trucks and tight spaces in a warehouse.

Works Continuously

A charge powers Stretch through a full shift, or up to 16 hours on an extended battery option, keeping the flow of goods moving during surges in demand.

Fast and Easy Deployment

Stretch can be installed and put to work, in existing warehouse infrastructure, in just days. No pre-programming of box sizes or SKU numbers is needed.

Advanced Vision and Gripper

An advanced vision system detects boxes and container surroundings, while a powerful gripper handles packages up to 50 pounds.

Future Applications

Even more applications for Stretch are being developed.

Palletizing & Depalletizing

Mobile, complex depalletizing with intelligent machine learning computer vision. Quickly depalletize and singulate cases, cartons, and trays from single, rainbow, and mixed-SKU pallets.
