SlipBots at FourHands: 4X Dock Throughput with Diverse Product Mix

For Four Hands, a international furniture designer and wholesaler, efficiency and safety were critical to scaling operations. They needed a solution capable of handling their diverse product mix—ranging from 2-pound lamps to 400-pound marble coffee tables—across multiple warehouses. Slip Robotics delivered this by providing a user-friendly, turnkey automation system that allowed their team to start reaping the benefits immediately.

- 4X Dock Throughput
Faster trailer loading & unloading increased processing speed
- 50% Fewer Product Touches Reduced manual handling, decreased strain, and improved worker safety.
-
Zero Forklifts in Trailers
Enhanced safety at the dock and optimized labor utilization

Slip Robotics deployed 15 SlipBots across multiple facilities in Austin, Texas. SlipBots enable multiple operators to load products directly onto the bots instead of the floor. Once loaded, the SlipBots autonomously move products into trailers for shipment to another warehouse. Upon arrival, SlipBots autonomously exit, where operators swarm unload from all four sides dramatically improving efficiency over the traditional single access point of a trailer.

-
Efficiency Gains: 75% faster unloading
and 50% faster loading times.

-
Rapid ROI: 50% reduction in
nighttime contract labor cost

-
Enhanced Safety: Employees stay out of trailers, avoiding hazards & fatigue

-
Ease of Use: Deployment & training in
hours rather than months
