The Carte+ System

Hardware and Intelligence Working as One

Carte+ combines rack-native robotics, modular infrastructure, and intelligent orchestration to move inventory efficiently across every level and aisle.

Carte+ robot shuttle retrieving inventory from warehouse racks

Robots

Smart, high-speed robot shuttles travel horizontally and vertically to retrieve and deliver totes or cartons from any rack level. Designed for a wide range of SKUs and packaging types, shuttles can deliver inventory to pick walls, conveyors, or buffer zones.

Fast, accurate movement across every rack level.
Modular Carte+ rail system mounted onto warehouse racks

Rails

Simple, modular rail systems mount directly onto existing warehouse racks. No rack replacement, proprietary storage structure, or floor anchoring is required. The rails guide shuttles between storage and pick locations across multiple rack levels.

Retrofit automation without rebuilding the warehouse.
Overhead Carte+ bot path connecting warehouse aisles

Bot Path

A powered overhead track enables shuttles to move between aisles without entering primary floor paths. This reduces congestion, improves safety, and preserves valuable floor space for associates, inventory staging, and other operational workflows.

Move robots overhead and keep floor operations clear.
Carte+ vertical lift moving inventory between rack levels

Lifts

Integrated vertical lifts enable seamless tote and carton movement between rack levels, from ground-level picking to top-tier storage. Each lift is synchronized with shuttle movement to maintain continuous flow and minimize dwell time.

Connect every storage level through one continuous system.
Carte+ warehouse intelligence and robotic orchestration software

Software + Intelligence

A unified intelligence layer coordinates shuttles, rails, bot paths, lifts, inventory, and fulfillment workflows in real time. The platform integrates with existing WMS and OMS systems to optimize routing, balance workloads, and continuously improve system performance.

One intelligent platform orchestrating the complete operation.

The Carte+ Platform

One Platform. Three Coordinated Layers.

Carte+ brings physical movement, rack-native infrastructure, and real-time intelligence together as one scalable warehouse operating system.

The Intelligence Layer

Plan + Orchestrate

One software-defined control layer coordinates every inventory movement and continuously improves system performance.

SoftwareReal-time routing, workload balancing, and fleet coordination.
eCarte+ TwinValidate performance and deployment decisions using operational data.
IntegrationConnect with existing WMS and OMS platforms or operate independently.
The Mobility Layer

Move + Connect

Coordinated robotic movement reaches inventory across rack levels and between aisles while keeping floor operations clear.

RobotsRetrieve and deliver totes or cartons across compatible rack levels.
RailsGuide fast, accurate horizontal movement along existing racks.
LiftsConnect ground-level workflows with upper-tier storage.
Bot PathTransfer robots overhead from aisle to aisle.
The Infrastructure Layer

Preserve + Scale

Automation is designed around the compatible warehouse infrastructure and operating workflows already in place.

Existing RacksRetrofit compatible standard racks without a wholesale rebuild.
Current PackagingContinue operating with compatible totes, cartons, and cases.
Progressive ScaleExpand automation incrementally by aisle, workflow, or site.
System Outcome

Enterprise-scale automation that adapts to the warehouse instead of forcing the warehouse to adapt to automation.

Carte+ in Action

See How Carte+ Moves Through Your Warehouse

Watch rack-native robots move inventory across rack levels and between aisles while intelligent software coordinates every route, retrieval, and delivery in real time.

System Overview

Rack-Native Movement

Robots travel horizontally and vertically across compatible existing warehouse racks.

Aisle-to-Aisle Mobility

The overhead Bot Path connects aisles while keeping primary warehouse traffic clear.

Intelligent Orchestration

Real-time software coordinates routes, inventory movement, workload, and system flow.

Carte+ brings storage, retrieval, aisle transfer, and intelligent orchestration together in one scalable platform—without requiring a warehouse rebuild.

Intelligent Orchestration for Every Workflow

Carte+ combines real-time coordination, intelligent routing, and flexible picking support to continuously adapt warehouse operations as order profiles, inventory requirements, and demand change.

Dynamic Orchestration

Smart Routing + Real-Time Coordination

Carte+ includes intelligent control software that adapts to changing order patterns, SKU mixes, and peak demand in real time. It integrates with existing WMS and OMS platforms or can operate independently in standalone mode.

Continuously optimize routing, workload balance, and system flow.
Flexible Fulfillment

Multi-Modal Picking Support

Batch, wave, zone, or on-demand—Carte+ supports a variety of picking strategies with minimal configuration. It is designed for hybrid fulfillment environments supporting workflows such as B2C and B2B, or store replenishment and ecommerce.

Support multiple fulfillment models through one configurable system.
eCarte+ Digital Twin

The Digital Twin That De-Risks Automation

At the core of Carte+ is the patented eCarte+ physical-digital twin, delivering a live, synchronized representation of warehouse operations that enables continuous visibility, analysis, and optimization—far beyond traditional simulation.
