The case picker that shows up every shift.
ProPick is an autonomous mobile robot for case-level order picking. It works the aisles of the warehouse you already have, builds and stretch wraps the pallet on board, and delivers it to the dock ready to load. Every shift, at the same rate.

Case picking is the hardest job to keep filled
Selecting full cases is heavy and repetitive work. It is usually an entry-level position and the first job people leave. Turnover runs high enough that a good share of the crew on any given night is still learning the building.
That shows up in the numbers. Rate drops over the course of a shift. Newer selectors build worse pallets, and a bad pallet costs you at the dock and again at the store. Back and shoulder injuries come out of this job more than most.
ProPick picks at the same rate on hour eight as on hour one. It does not call in, it does not need overtime, and it does not get hurt lifting.
- Same rate on every shift, every night
- Same pallet quality on the first order and the last
- No recruiting, no retraining, no turnover
- Takes the lifting out of the aisle
It drops into the building you already have
ProPick works your existing aisles and your existing racking, alongside the people and equipment already in them. There is no conveyor to install, no racking to move, and no reason to rebuild the layout around it.
The load plan is worked out before the robot moves: a position and orientation for every case on the pallet. ProPick picks in the sequence that plan calls for and sets each case exactly where it belongs, so the finished pallet stacks square and travels well. Then it wraps the load on board and takes it to the dock.
- No racking changes
- No conveyor
- No layout rebuild
- Works alongside the crew you have
One pass down the aisle
Takes the order
The order comes from your warehouse management system. ProPick works out the load plan first — where every case will sit on the pallet, and the sequence to pick them in.
Works the aisle
It navigates the existing aisles on its own, around the people and equipment already working there.
Picks and stacks
Each case has an X, Y and Z position with A, B and C rotation already assigned. ProPick picks it at the rack and sets it down on exactly that spot, in that orientation.
Wraps and delivers
The finished pallet is stretch wrapped on board and delivered to the dock, ready to load.
The individual components aren't new
Every subsystem on ProPick has a counterpart somewhere in the industry. Mobile robots, palletizers, and stretch wrappers all exist on their own.
The unique part of ProPick is putting them on one machine and coordinating them tightly enough to run an aisle unattended, next to people, for a whole shift. The mechanical design that lets one machine do it all in an aisle-width footprint, and the software that keeps those systems in step, is the secret sauce that makes ProPick work.
- Navigation, picking, palletizing and wrapping on one machine
- Coordinated closely enough to run unattended
- Sized to work an existing aisle, not a purpose-built one

Operations this suits
Grocery and food service
Full-case selection out of racking — the work that sits between a fully automated pallet operation and hand picking of individual cases.
Buildings already running
ProPick was designed to be added to a warehouse that is already working, not to be the reason for a new one. Aisles, racking and dock stay as they are.
Sites that cannot staff the shift
Operations where the constraint is people, not floor space, and where the night crew is never quite full.
ProPick is protected by U.S. Patent 12,421,042. The mechanical design, electrical design, controls and software were all developed in house.
