How Attabotics and Extolla are reshaping warehouse automation

Attabotics and Extolla are revolutionising warehouse automation with high-density robotics and AI-powered fulfilment solutions.

The landscape of warehousing is undergoing a shift as companies look to enhance productivity, reduce operational costs, and meet the demands of e-commerce and omnichannel fulfilment. At the forefront of this transformation is Attabotics, a company that specialises in fulfilment technology that combines high-density, cubic automated storage and retrieval with built-in sortation, sequencing and buffering capabilities that tie directly to goods-to-person replenishment stations. As the APAC partner and system integrator for Attabotics, Extolla brings this innovative technology to the world’s fastest growing region.

Turning warehouses from growth inhibitors to growth multipliers

The Attabotics system encompasses robots that climb vertical columns up to nine metres tall and can access any tote in the system within 90 seconds. Attabotics can turn a warehouse from a growth inhibitor to a growth multiplier.  Attabotics’ design minimises the physical footprint of a warehouse while maximising storage density. Robotic shuttles move seamlessly within the system to retrieve and deliver products to pick stations, reducing the time and labour involved in fulfilment.

Unlike competitor systems that require costly and time-consuming warehouse floor remediation, Attabotics eliminates this need, saving hundreds of thousands of dollars, avoiding operational downtime, and preventing issues such as dust spreading throughout the warehouse during the remediation. Additionally, Attabots (Attabotics’ robots) can be serviced at ground level, streamlining maintenance. And because inventory totes are stored not stacked in the Attabotics storage grid, with each in their own easily accessible space, Attabots never need to dig for totes, never make any unproductive moves, and never need to reshuffle the deck for greater efficiency.  Rather, they have an open pick face to every tote in the system. Attabotics totes are available in two tote sizes, one of which has the largest capacity on the market at 45kg – making it suitable for industries handling heavier products. The Attabotics system is both customisable, scalable and can be configured to fit any warehouse. 

The system’s scalability and flexibility make it suitable for businesses facing warehouse space constraints or those needing to grow or accelerate their order fulfilment processes. With consumer expectations around rapid delivery growing, Attabotics offers a competitive edge by optimising throughput as well as order accuracy. Additionally, it eliminates SKU slotting, integrates directly with ERP/WMS systems without middleware, and eliminates the use of batteries, using ultra-capacitor technology for sustainable operations.

Introducing FulfillAI – the next-generation of automation

Building on its innovative platform, Attabotics recently launched FulfillAI, an advanced AI-powered software solution that enhances warehouse operations. FulfillAI utilises machine learning to continuously optimise system performance by predicting order patterns, balancing workloads, and streamlining inventory management. Real-time data analytics provide actionable insights, empowering businesses to make faster and smarter decisions.

This level of intelligence not only increases operational efficiency but also reduces energy consumption, while increasing equipment longevity. By leveraging FulfillAI companies facing in-store and wholesale distribution challenges can achieve a sustainable and cost-effective supply chain. The result is a significant reduction in the cost per unit to ship, improving overall profitability.

Real and proven results

Attabotics’ collaboration with leading retailers, manufacturers, and 3PL providers has already demonstrated the powerful impact of this solution. Businesses that have adopted the system have realised significant reductions in labour costs, improved order accuracy, enhanced inventory visibility, and lower total costs of operations. The ability to store and process goods within a smaller footprint has also allowed companies to repurpose valuable floor space for other operational needs.

For companies seeking to future-proof their supply chain operations, Attabotics offers an agile and scalable solution that grows alongside their business. With Extolla as a trusted partner, businesses can embrace the future of automated warehousing.
