From Pick-and-Place to Last-Mile — Robots for Warehouse Operations
SVRC deploys mobile manipulators, quadrupeds, and custom robot configurations for bin picking, pallet handling, inventory scanning, and sortation in distribution and fulfillment environments.
Use Cases
Where Robots Deliver ROI in Your Facility
Logistics operations have high-repetition tasks that are well-suited to robot deployment today. SVRC has pre-built policies and hardware configurations for four core workflows.
Bin Picking
Unstructured pick tasks from totes and bins, handling variable SKU sizes and orientations. SVRC's custom vision-and-manipulation policies generalize to new items with minimal re-training.
Pallet Handling
Mobile manipulators and humanoid platforms move pallets, stage goods for shipping, and handle layer-picking tasks in ambient and refrigerated environments.
Inventory Scanning
Go2 quadrupeds autonomously patrol racking aisles, reading barcodes and RFID tags to deliver real-time cycle count data without pulling staff off the floor.
Sorting & Induction
High-throughput sortation at induction stations using robotic arms tuned for your specific parcel profiles and divert logic.
Hardware
The Right Robot for Each Task
SVRC stocks a range of platforms across manipulation, mobility, and inspection categories. We match hardware to your specific environment — ceiling height, floor type, throughput requirements, and payload range all factor in.
Unitree Go2
Best for: Inventory scanning, facility inspection, narrow-aisle traversal
The Go2 quadruped navigates uneven floors, passes through standard doorways, and traverses racking environments that wheeled robots cannot access. Equipped with depth cameras and LiDAR for autonomous mapping and barcode scanning payloads.
- Up to 12 hours battery runtime with hot-swap packs
- IP67 dust and moisture resistance
- Payload capacity: 5 kg
- Compatible with SVRC data platform for fleet telemetry
W1 Mobile Manipulator
Best for: Bin picking, tote handling, station-based sortation
A wheeled mobile base with a 6-DOF manipulator arm. SVRC trains custom pick policies using imitation learning data collected in your facility, meaning the robot learns your specific SKUs, packaging types, and pick locations.
- Arm reach: 750 mm, payload: 3 kg
- Hot-swappable end-effectors (suction, parallel jaw, soft gripper)
- Base speed up to 1.5 m/s
- Real-time teleoperation override via SVRC platform
Custom Configurations
Best for: High-throughput sortation, palletizing, specialized payload handling
For tasks that fall outside standard platform specs, SVRC integrates third-party arms, custom end-effectors, and specialized vision systems into a unified deployment managed through the SVRC data platform.
- System integration with existing WMS/WCS
- Custom end-effector fabrication available
- Full data logging and audit trail
- Onsite SVRC engineering support during commissioning
Data Collection
Custom Policies for Your SKUs
Off-the-shelf robot software does not understand your warehouse. SVRC builds custom manipulation policies by collecting teleoperation demonstration data directly in your environment, then training imitation learning models on your specific items, packaging, and workflows.
- ✓ SVRC teleop operators collect demonstrations on-site or via remote teleoperation over RealSense/depth camera streams
- ✓ Data is annotated and structured on the SVRC platform, then used to fine-tune a pick policy with ACT or Diffusion Policy
- ✓ Policies are deployed to the robot fleet and monitored for performance regressions via SVRC platform dashboards
- ✓ Continuous data collection during production improves policy robustness over time — your fleet gets smarter as it works
- ✓ You retain full ownership of your demonstration data and trained policies
Return on Investment
Typical Payback Period: 6–12 Months
Robot leasing converts a capital expense into an operational one. When compared against temporary labor and agency staffing rates, most SVRC warehouse deployments reach payback within the first lease term.
Month Payback Period
Typical timeframe to recover lease cost versus ongoing temp labor expense for equivalent throughput
Pick Rate vs Manual
Bin picking deployments operating 20-hour shifts consistently outperform manual rates by 3x or more on simple SKU profiles
Operational Availability
Robots do not require overtime pay, shift differentials, or breaks — enabling round-the-clock throughput at fixed cost
Days to Deploy
From signed lease to first production shift — SVRC's onboarding process is designed for operational urgency
ROI estimates assume 16–20 hour operating shifts vs 8-hour manned shifts and include lease cost, operator support, and policy maintenance. Individual results depend on facility layout, SKU complexity, and throughput volume. SVRC provides a detailed ROI model during the sales process.
