Why Vector

Why choose us

Safety-first autonomy

Every platform ships with certified e-stop chains, 360° perception, and speed-on-distance protective stops as standard.

Deploy in weeks, not years

No-facility-retrofit deployment. Our mapping tools learn your site in a single walkthrough, so robots are productive within weeks.

Measured ROI from month one

Built-in fleet analytics track throughput, utilization, and downtime — with dashboards your ops team actually reads.

Platform & Software

Robotics Technology

The hardware, software, and safety systems behind every Vector deployment — engineered as one integrated platform.

Vector robot platform chassis

Our robot platform

The VX platform is a modular, ruggedized base designed for 24/7 industrial duty: sealed IP54 drivetrain, hot-swappable batteries, and a compute spine that runs the full autonomy stack on-robot.

IP54 rated

Dust & splash protected

8h runtime

Swap in under 60s

Autonomy software

Vector OS fuses lidar, stereo vision, and wheel odometry into a centimeter-accurate local map, updated 100 times a second. Behavior planning handles people, forklifts, and floor changes — no guide tape, no beacons, no facility retrofits.

  • Dynamic obstacle prediction with 4s horizon
  • Multi-floor mapping from a single walkthrough
  • Fleet orchestration with automatic task assignment

Safety systems

A redundant, hardware-wired safety channel runs independently of the autonomy stack. If anything is ever in doubt, the robot stops — predictably and gently.

  • 360° protective fields, speed-on-distance rated
  • Cat-3 PL-d e-stop chain with dual-channel braking
  • Audible & light signaling compliant with ISO 3691-4

Development approach

From first site visit to a live fleet, every deployment follows the same proven four-phase path.

01

Discover

Walk your site, model the workflow, size the ROI.

02

Pilot

Two-week on-site trial with a supervised fleet.

03

Deploy

Full fleet rollout, staff training, go-live support.

04

Optimize

Continuous tuning from live fleet telemetry.

Use cases

Solutions for your industry

Proven robotics workflows for manufacturing, logistics, and inspection teams — deployed, measured, and scaled.

Automated manufacturing line

Manufacturing

Machine tending, kitting, and intralogistics that keep lines fed without pulling skilled operators off value-added work.

Logistics distribution warehouse

Logistics

Pallet movement and trailer unloading support that flexes with volume — night shifts, peaks, and everything between.

Industrial inspection environment

Inspection

Autonomous sensing rounds that catch drift, leaks, and hot spots before they become downtime or incidents.

Deployment workflow

Most teams go from kickoff to a live fleet in under eight weeks.

WEEK 0–1

Site survey

We map your facility and identify the highest-value routes and tasks.

WEEK 1–2

Integration

Connect to your WMS/MES. Configure safety zones with your EHS team.

WEEK 2–4

Supervised run

Robots operate with an on-site Vector engineer until the team is confident.

WEEK 4–8

Scale out

Add units and routes. Fleet telemetry confirms the ROI case in real time.

Benefits

  • Labor multipliers, not replacements

    Teams redeploy to skilled work while robots absorb the repetitive transport and inspection load.

  • Measurably fewer incidents

    Deployments report fewer forklift–pedestrian interactions in the first quarter of autonomous operation.

  • Payback inside 14 months

    Typical fleets recover their cost through reclaimed labor hours and recovered downtime.
