3PL
Customer Demands Keep Changing
For 3PLs, no two customers are exactly alike. Product profiles, order volumes, workflows, packaging requirements, and service-level agreements can vary widely across accounts — and they can change quickly. That makes it difficult to justify automation that only solves one task, fits one process, or serves one customer.
At the same time, labor shortages, rising fulfillment expectations, and peak-season surges continue to put pressure on warehouse teams. 3PLs need a way to increase throughput and reliability while staying flexible enough to support the next customer, the next workflow, and the next demand spike.
Flexible Automation for Flexible Networks
Apollo is designed to bring adaptable automation to 3PL environments. As an AI-powered humanoid robot, Apollo can work in spaces built for people and use existing warehouse infrastructure such as carts, racks, conveyors, totes, bins, and workstations.
Instead of requiring a purpose-built automation system for every workflow, Apollo can support a range of material handling and fulfillment tasks across the warehouse. From moving goods to assisting with picking, packing, sorting, and replenishment, Apollo helps 3PLs automate repetitive work while preserving the flexibility their customers depend on.
One Robot, Many Workflows
Because Apollo is designed for human-centered environments, it can be deployed into existing operations and reassigned as customer needs evolve.
Apollo can support a variety of warehouse workflows across 3PL operations, including:
- Retrieving and transporting goods from storage to shipping areas
- Picking items from racks or shelves into totes
- Supporting packout by placing items into boxes and moving packages to conveyors
- Sorting products, totes, or packages into the appropriate destinations
- Moving materials between workstations, storage areas, and outbound zones
- Assisting with repetitive, physically demanding tasks during peak periods
Scale Without Losing Flexibility
Apollo helps 3PLs improve operational resilience by adding automation that can adapt across customers, workflows, and facility types. That flexibility is especially valuable in multi-tenant distribution centers, where requirements can vary by account, and in brownfield sites where major infrastructure changes may not be practical.
By automating repetitive material handling tasks, Apollo can help reduce physical strain on workers, improve consistency, and support more predictable throughput. For 3PLs, that means a stronger ability to meet service-level commitments, absorb demand spikes, and scale operations without relying solely on additional labor.
One Robot, Endless Possibilities
Apollo's adaptability ensures it can meet various needs, from industrial applications to potential household uses. This approach not only addresses current labor market gaps but also anticipates future needs, providing a scalable solution that can grow and evolve with technological advancements & market demands.
Intelligent, Mobile, Dexterous
Powered by AI, Apollo is capable of learning multiple skills to help address critical labor shortages in industries requiring manual, physical labor.
