Kindred has built an AI platformthat integrates vision, grasping and placement to create autonomous solutions for complex commercial problems. With increased labor complexities in e-commerce fulfillment centers, Kindred developed a flagship product, SORT, to help retailers stay competitive. Kindred smart piece-picking SORT robots tackle a labor intensive part of the supply chain, which is Putwall Sortation, completing the manual task to pick and place items into separate customer orders. Kindred robots are currently in commercial use at e-commerce leaders including Gap, Inc., Carter’s and other global retailers. The Kindred SORT robots work alongside warehouse staff to quickly and accurately sort items into individual customer orders. Kindred has offices in San Francisco & Toronto.
