The Ranger series of intelligent robots are built together with our GreyMatter AI-driven software to form the GreyOrange Fulfillment Operating System. A real-time feedback loop between GreyMatter and Ranger robots continuously shapes decisions and performance.
Maximum life™ robotics:
Built to Last and Learn
Unlike robots that operate as system attachments, Ranger robots incorporate GreyMatter intelligence as a learning layer that guides them to adapt to real-time events happening within the distribution center and externally as orders fluctuate and you adjust your fulfillment priorities.
Maximum-life robotics outperform add-on robots across 3 key dimensions
Performance & Efficiency
Higher performance per unit of power consumed, longer running time per charge
Powerful processing & intelligence capabilities at the bot level, including selfcorrecting paths & recovery
Able to learn new capabilities for future-fluid adaptation with each new software release
Safety & Compliance
Compliance with local and global safety standards and workplace regulations protects worker & asset safety and maximizes uptime
Human-robot interaction contemplated in operational design to protect safety while accelerating productivity
Compliance-certified design tested by leading 3rd -party labs
Lower Total Cost Over Time
Long life span built-in through durable components and adaptive learning to protect investment payback
Standardized platform design supports reusable parts while global spare part availability commitments protect long-life utilization
Built-in adaptability reduces the need to replace robots to accommodate evolutions in your business, enabling your initial robot investment to apply against longer time horizons
Always-solving intelligence optimizes performance in peak periods and every day
Real-time data flow between GreyMatter and Ranger robots feeds always-solving algorithms to calculate and recalibrate each next-best decision, whether you’re prioritizing to deliver peak demand fulfillment or managing every-day fulfillment payoffs and tradeoffs.
Together, GreyMatter and Ranger Robots Are the Brains and Muscle of the GreyOrange Fulfillment Operating System
Ranger robots communicate with each other and with GreyMatter to continuously recalculate and orchestrate fulfillment priorities and inventory movement patterns based on real-time factors. As order promise dates, inventory positions, store replenishment requests, available workers and robots, actual fulfillment pace and time remaining in dispatch windows fluctuate, the system adapts to ensure you meet your top priorities and Service Level Agreements.
Meet the team
The advanced science and engineering integrating real time data between GreyMatter and Rangers generates 360° operational awareness so the GreyOrange FOS can orchestrate inventory in motion with the flow of the floor and at pace with demand.
Together, GreyMatter and Ranger robots are the brain and muscle of the GreyOrange Fulfillment Operating System, the always-solving solution that will transform your DC from warehouse to awarehouse.

SEE HOW OUR TEAM WORKS TOGETHER TO TRANSFORM YOUR WAREHOUSE INTO AN AWAREHOUSE
Ranger robots get smarter as they operate to match the pace of the flow of orders and inventory on the floor, continuously keeping the right inventory in motion to the right place at the right time. They’re purpose-built to work together to handle a range of tasks across your DC including:
- Removing heavy-lifting and mile-walking from your workers by quickly and conveniently transporting racks of inventory to pick-pack stations
- Assisting your work teams with picking and order consolidation
- Conveying inventory and packages to appropriate destinations for additional handling
- Sorting packages by destinations you can reconfigure at will, without being locked-in to fixed sortation patterns and destinations
- Transporting packages and trolleys to various dispatch areas
Orchestration at Scale
Hundreds of Ranger robots can operate together simultaneously as Mobile-Spatial Logic uses realtime data to optimize travel routes and pacing to avoid congestion. Rangers automatically use unassigned time to connect with charging stations to top-off power to maximize up-time.
Accelerated Order Consolidation
Ranger GTP robots access inventory across your DC in pace with order priorities, transporting mobile stock unit racks of inventory to pick-pack stations based on order line items, speeding throughput and eliminating manual retrieval by workers.
N-Deep Inventory Access
Unlike humans, Rangers can access high-density stock zones that lack aisles, including elevator equipped multi-level mezzanines, to maximize cubic inventory capacity and optimize existing facilities. Multiple Rangers can coordinate together to retrieve inventory, with some robots moving racks aside so others can access and transport desired inventory to pick-pack stations.
Real-time Revenue and Cost Awareness
Ranger actions are directed by dynamic GreyMatter calculations that continuously evaluate the risks and rewards of choosing to breach or to keep each order promise.
GreyOrange is leading the new era of
DEEPTHINK™ DISTRIBUTION
The pace of modern commerce demands modern thinking and modern technology. That’s why the GreyOrange Fulfillment Operating System combines AI-driven software and intelligent robots that work together, continuously communicating to make each other smarter. By observing real time orders and the flow of the floor – and using that data to inform always-solving algorithms that calculate each moment’s best decision – the GO System is ushering in a new era of distribution based on deeper thinking. Deeper data, dynamic decisions, and demand-driven delivery enable you to fulfill the future in real time.
