Solutions

One unit. Three ways to put it to work.

  • The focus

    Urban Fulfilment Automation

    The city is the constraint. Dark stores, micro-fulfilment centres and hubs bolted onto a store. Built for the hour when everyone orders dinner at once.

  • Retail Automation

    Automation behind the store you already run. Online and click-and-collect orders are picked and bagged in the back room, a few metres from the shelves, while the shop floor stays for shoppers.

  • Autonomous Retail

    The unit is the shop. No tills, no aisles, no closing time. Customers browse, pay and collect at the port.

It reads depth, not labels. One pass of light, one pick point.

The camera is told which product to expect. A line of light crosses the tote, the camera measures how high everything stands, and it returns one flat place for the suction cup. No guessing the brand, no score. A point to pick from.

A tote of products under the camera's line of light: on one side as a person sees it, on the other as the camera measures it, in shades of height, with one pick point marked on the highest flat pack.

Move across the tote to scan it.

The tote is laid out from a real stock record in our software. The packs themselves are stand-ins.

Why it matters.

The city is the constraint. Rent, promise times and the evening peak all push the same way.

A warehouse on the ring road can't reach a flat in the centre in the time people now expect. A stockroom can, if something is in there doing the picking.

Design targets, not guarantees. The figures for your site depend on the range, the volumes and the configuration, and we model them with you during planning.

Wondering what one costs? It depends on the site, so we model yours.

Technology partners

Proven components, well looked after: the arm and the software the unit is built on.

  • ABB Robotics: Partner

    Our picking cells are built on ABB robots: market-leading products, serviceable hardware, with ABB's support and lifecycle services worldwide.

  • NVIDIA Inception: Member

    Totssy is a member of NVIDIA Inception. Our picking software runs on NVIDIA GPUs, and is tested in a simulated copy of each site before hardware ships.

Management tools

Three screens. One for each person who touches it.

The kiosk on the customer counter: a shop screen of deals and popular products, with photos, prices and a basket. Beside it, a shallow tote at the hatch with pasta, cola, water and oat drink lying in their lanes.

For the customer

Where the customer meets the machine. Browse, pay, and the order arrives at the port.
