Testing at Plus One Robotics
Three years ago when Plus One was just a dozen or so employees working out of a small Port San Antonio office, they were thrilled to announce more than $8 million in Series A funding.
In three years they have more than tripled that with $33 million from many of those same funders and some new ones including BMW.
The company builds vision software for robotic arms. It teaches robots to see.
Those robots pick, pack and and ship items as part of the trend of warehouse automation. In the era of pandemic ecommerce, there’s a lot of things being shipped and a lot of warehouses being built. Their customers want to use automation to ensure they can always meet the demand even through ongoing labor shortages of the high employee-churn industry.
