Forager carries the pallet through a light, bolt-down transfer gate to a standard handoff position.
Solution · High-Density Storage
Use the cube before you lease another building.
Forager handles the distance. Colony owns the rack. Physical AI assigns every slot and retrieves on demand.
MORE USABLE SLOTS
Less aisle space for manned turns.
UP TO 10 M
Use vertical capacity with Colony Z10.
ONE HANDOFF
Forager and Colony share the work.
THE STORAGE LOOP
You request in or out. The nest handles the rest.
No slot hunting. No route memorization. No operator in the high-bay aisle.
From handoff onward, Colony handles putaway and retrieval.
WMS + AI assign the best slot from empty locations, goods attributes, and in/out rules.
Outbound reverses the handoff — Colony to gate, Forager takes the distance.
Floor robots run distance. Colony owns slots. Neither enters the other’s work zone — the light gate connects the chain.
PHYSICAL AI IN THE NEST
Every slot is a decision.
The system balances velocity, affinity, congestion and the next likely outbound move.
Slotting weighs velocity, affinity, aisle congestion, and outbound probability.
01Colony follows the shortest reachable trajectory for putaway and retrieval.
02Empty travel and hunting shrink as the system keeps learning.
