Sereact Cortex Physical AI

Sereact GmbH is a physical AI company located at Schockenriedstrasse 17, Stuttgart, Germany. It sells AI software that lets warehouse robots pick, place, sort and inspect items.

The Cortex software uses a vision-language-action model that handles new items zero-shot, works across 6-axis and humanoid robots, and integrates with AutoStore. The company reports more than 300 live systems across Europe and the US. Customers shown include DHL, FedEx, Zalando, IKEA and CEVA Logistics.

• Pick and place: zero-shot handling of new items.
• Putwall: sorting orders into put-wall locations.
• Lens: real-time edge vision for damage and anomaly detection.
• Returns handling: robotic processing of returned goods.
• Platform: works across 6-axis and humanoid robot architectures.
• AutoStore integration: bin picking in high-density storage.

Piece picking and putwall sorting for e-commerce fulfillment. Returns processing for fashion and electronics retailers. Parcel and bin picking from AutoStore-type storage.

New items are handled without retraining or tuning. Typical throughput of 300 to 450+ units per hour (company-reported). One robot replaces 3 to 4.5 FTEs per company claims. Remote intervention is needed about once per 53,000 picks.

Foundation-model robotics is shifting warehouse picking from per-item programming to software that adapts. Vietnamese e-commerce and 3PL operators facing returns volume and labor costs are potential buyers through robot integrators.
