Plus One Robotics provides AI-powered robotic systems for parcel sortation that handle diverse package types with a human-in-the-loop oversight model for handling exceptions.
Plus One Robotics is a San Antonio-based robotics company founded in 2016 that has raised $33M to automate parcel sortation in carrier and e-commerce fulfillment operations using AI with a unique human-in-the-loop architecture. The company's Yonder AI platform enables robots to pick and sort diverse parcels using computer vision and AI, while routing edge cases and difficult items to remote human supervisors who guide the robot through the exception with video game-style interfaces. This hybrid autonomy model allows systems to achieve higher uptime and handle more exception cases than fully autonomous systems, while requiring far fewer humans than manual operations. Plus One has deployed commercial systems at major parcel carriers and logistics operators and demonstrated significant cost advantages over manual parcel sortation. The company's remote human supervision capability allows a single supervisor to monitor and assist multiple robot cells simultaneously, creating a scalable model for managing the long tail of exception cases that all parcel sortation systems encounter. Plus One competes in the parcel handling automation market alongside Mujin, Vicarious, and cobot-based pick-and-place systems.
Industrial automation leader transformed by Copeland HVAC divestiture ($14B) and NI test equipment acquisition ($8.2B, 2023); $17.5B FY2024 revenue; 55% AspenTech stake for industrial AI optimization.
Emerson Electric is a leading global technology and software company focused on industrial automation, process control, and test and measurement solutions, founded in 1890 in Ferguson, Missouri and now headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, trading on NYSE (EMR). The company generated approximately $17.5 billion in revenues for fiscal year 2024 (ending September 30) under CEO Lal Karsanbhai, who has executed the most dramatic portfolio transformation in Emerson's 130-year history: divesting the InSinkErator and Therm-O-Disc consumer and commercial products businesses, selling a 55% stake in Copeland (HVAC compressors) for $14 billion to create a stand-alone entity, and acquiring National Instruments Corporation (NI) for $8.2 billion in 2023—adding NI's LabVIEW test automation software, PXI modular instruments, and automated test equipment platform to create a differentiated test and measurement capability.
