About
Plus One Robotics is an enterprise-grade robotic automation company specializing in AI-powered vision solutions for warehouse and logistics environments. Their platform targets the three most critical and labor-intensive warehouse functions: parcel induction, depalletizing, and palletizing — automating them with fast, reliable AI software built for real-world conditions. Their flagship products include DepalOne, a portable plug-and-play depalletizing work cell starting at $155,000; InductOne, the industry's fastest dual-arm induction system for parcel sorting; and PickOne, their core AI vision software that drives robotic picking accuracy at scale. All systems are powered by Yonder, a supervised autonomy platform that enables remote human oversight to resolve exception cases within seconds — embodying their philosophy that 'Robots Work. People Rule.' Plus One Robotics serves industries including general merchandise, parcel and post, grocery, and third-party logistics (3PL) providers. Their systems have processed over 1.5 billion picks globally and are deployed in 15 countries. The company offers turn-key, scalable solutions designed for rapid deployment, predictable productivity, and safer warehouse operations. They also provide extensive partner resources including case studies, whitepapers, and 24/7 customer support, making them a comprehensive robotics automation partner for enterprise logistics and fulfillment operations.

Use Cases
- Automating high-volume parcel sorting and induction at large e-commerce fulfillment centers to increase throughput and reduce labor costs.
- Deploying portable depalletizing robots in grocery distribution centers to handle mixed-SKU pallets with speed and consistency.
- Enabling 3PL providers to scale fulfillment operations during peak seasons without proportionally scaling headcount.
- Reducing workplace injuries in warehouses by automating the most physically demanding and repetitive material handling tasks.
- Integrating supervised autonomy into existing warehouse workflows to maintain productivity while human operators remotely oversee robotic exception handling.
Pros
- Proven at Massive Scale: 1.5 billion+ real-world picks across 15 countries demonstrates battle-tested reliability rarely matched by newer entrants in warehouse robotics.
- Human-in-the-Loop Safety Net: The Yonder platform ensures humans can intervene remotely in seconds, drastically reducing the productivity loss associated with robotic edge cases.
- Modular, Turn-Key Systems: Products like DepalOne are portable and plug-and-play, lowering deployment complexity and enabling faster time-to-value for warehouse operators.
Cons
- High Entry-Level Cost: Systems start at $155,000, making Plus One Robotics inaccessible for small or mid-market warehouses without significant capital budgets.
- Enterprise-Only Focus: The platform is purpose-built for large-scale fulfillment operations, with little applicability for smaller logistics providers or non-warehouse use cases.
Frequently Asked Questions
What warehouse tasks does Plus One Robotics automate?
Plus One Robotics automates three core warehouse functions: parcel induction (sorting packages onto conveyors), depalletizing (unloading pallets), and palletizing (building pallets), all powered by AI vision software.
What is the Yonder platform?
Yonder is Plus One Robotics' supervised autonomy platform that keeps human operators in the loop. When a robot encounters an edge case it cannot handle autonomously, a remote operator is alerted and can resolve the issue in seconds, maintaining throughput.
How much does DepalOne cost?
DepalOne, the portable plug-and-play depalletizing work cell, starts at $155,000. It is designed to be a turn-key solution for rapid deployment in warehouse environments.
How many picks has Plus One Robotics executed globally?
Plus One Robotics systems have executed over 1.5 billion picks across deployments in 15 different countries, making it one of the most proven robotic picking platforms in the industry.
What industries does Plus One Robotics serve?
Plus One Robotics serves general merchandise retailers, parcel and postal operators, grocery distributors, and third-party logistics (3PL) providers looking to scale fulfillment automation.
