Boxbot
"Next Gen Supply Chain Automation"
Alameda, California company building 3D automated parcel storage and sorting systems for last-mile logistics, air cargo, and cross-dock operations.
Boxbot is a robotics and automation company founded in September 2017 by Austin Oehlerking and headquartered at 2421 Blanding Avenue, Alameda, California 94501. The company develops proprietary software and hardware platforms that transform material handling operations by making ordinary conveyors three-dimensional. Boxbot's core technology converts standard linear conveyor systems into intelligent, three-dimensional package handling platforms capable of storing, sorting, and sequencing size-agnostic, high-throughput payloads while requiring a minimal physical footprint.
The system uses AI-powered dynamic storage and optimization algorithms to coordinate package flow. In 2023, Boxbot pivoted its strategic focus from last-mile delivery trucks to robotic parcel storage systems, targeting logistics companies, parcel delivery carriers, third-party logistics providers (3PL), airports, and retail operations. Key application areas include last-mile carrier delivery stations, air cargo storage and retrieval, and cross-dock operations.
The platform addresses the challenge of automated load and unload processes through its three-dimensional vertical storage approach. Boxbot has raised over $29.5 million in total funding. The company's September 2023 Series A round raised $12 million, led by Playground Global, with participation from Maersk Growth (the venture arm of A.P.
Moller-Maersk), Toyota Ventures, Pear Ventures, and Artiman Ventures. Prior funding rounds brought the total to $29.5 million before the Series A. As of 2026, Boxbot employs approximately 21 people across operations in North America and Europe.
Austin Oehlerking, who studied at Harvard Business School, serves as the company's Founder and CEO.
