An enhanced piece-picking robot, the SORT 3.7 now has eight more cubbies (27 in all), resulting in a 42% rise in the total number of items it can sort at e-commerce fulfillment centers and warehouses.

Due to its high optimization, the robot—which uses AutoGrasp, a robotics intelligence platform that identifies and selects items to pick and place—can assimilate with continuous induction systems, including bomb bay and cross belt sorters, leading it to pick 400 units per hour consistently.

When the SORT 3.7 is paired with a primary sortation system, fulfillment centers can double the number of items that one employee alone can oversee and ship out. By collaborating with a robot like the SORT 3.7, employees can ship more than 850 units an hour on average.
