SAN ANTONIO — April 9, 2026 – Plus One Robotics, a leader in AI-powered robotic vision for material handling, announced it has surpassed 2 billion successful picks across its global fleet of parcel induction and depalletization robots. The milestone coincides with the company’s recent 10th anniversary, marking a decade of advancing intelligent automation for the world’s leading logistics and e-commerce operators.
Doubling its pick count in just two years, Plus One continues to demonstrate that AI-powered robotics can deliver measurable, repeatable results at scale. What began as a vision to combine artificial intelligence with practical warehouse applications has evolved into a proven platform driving speed, accuracy and resilience across modern supply chains.
“Reaching 2 billion picks during our 10th anniversary year is both humbling and energizing,” said Erik Nieves, co-founder and CEO of Plus One Robotics. “From day one, our goal has been simple: Build robots that work in real warehouses reliably, safely and at scale. Two billion picks represent billions of real-world decisions made in live production environments. Most importantly, that’s 2 billion tasks people didn’t have to perform manually, allowing them to focus on higher-value work.”
The achievement comes amid sustained growth in global e-commerce and ongoing labor pressures within logistics operations. As warehouses contend with increasing parcel variety, faster delivery expectations and workforce constraints, automation has shifted from optional to essential. Plus One’s AI-driven solutions are designed specifically to handle the variability and unpredictability of parcel operations — from mixed SKU induction to complex depalletization.
Over the past decade, the company has built one of the industry’s most extensive real-world parcel datasets. Combined with its human-in-the-loop architecture, this foundation enables continuous AI improvement, faster deployments and more scalable automation for customers.
“When we founded Plus One Robotics 10 years ago, we believed the future of warehouse automation wouldn’t be robots alone, but amplified by people,” said Shaun Edwards, co-founder and CTO of Plus One Robotics. “Two billion picks later, the data validates that belief. Our systems have learned from billions of images and interactions across countless parcel types. That data advantage allows us to deploy faster, scale smarter and continuously push the boundaries of what robotic vision can achieve.”
Recent highlights include:
- Hit 2 billion picks in just two years after reaching 1 billion—a milestone that took 8 years to achieve.
- Extended operations into Australia, supporting verticals including wine and food & beverage, consumer products and co-packing.
- Strengthened relationships with leading OEMs, integrators and global brands, including beRobox, Honeywell and Fanuc.
- Launched DepalOne and deployed InductOne across peak operations to optimize throughput.
“Ten years in, we’re more convinced than ever that the future of automation is built on collaboration between people and intelligent machines,” Nieves added. “Two billion picks is a milestone worth celebrating, but it’s also a foundation for what comes next.”
