1. Technology overview
SVT Robotics, Inc. is based in Norfolk, Virginia, USA. Its co-founders started the company in 2018 to solve the integration challenge that slows robot and automation deployments, where connecting each robot to a WMS traditionally requires weeks of custom code and on-site work.
The SOFTBOT Platform is a tech-agnostic integration and orchestration layer between enterprise systems and automation. Prebuilt SOFTBOT Connectors link WMS such as Blue Yonder, Tecsys and Deposco with AMRs, AutoStore, sortation, packaging and picking robots without custom code, with multi-site monitoring and alerts. SOFTBOT Intelligence, launched in 2026, captures execution-level transactions as AI-ready performance data in one dashboard. Users include DHL Supply Chain, Kardex and Barrett Distribution Centers.
2. Highlighted features & specifications
- SOFTBOT Platform: standardized integration foundation connecting enterprise systems and automation.
- SOFTBOT Connectors: prebuilt connectors for picking, packing, sortation, GTP/ASRS, transport and receiving.
- Multi-site monitoring: out-of-the-box monitoring and automated alerts to avoid downtime.
- SOFTBOT Intelligence: turns execution transactions into real-time, AI-ready insights.
- WMS integrations: demos with Blue Yonder, Tecsys Elite and Deposco Bright Suite.
- Experience Center: hands-on demos of connected automation before deployment.
3. Potential application
- A 3PL in Vietnam connecting a new AMR picking system to its existing WMS within a peak-season timeline.
- An e-commerce fulfilment center integrating automated packaging and sortation lines.
- A regional distributor monitoring automation performance across warehouses in several countries.
4. Benefits
- Adds robots and automation to a warehouse without custom WMS integration code.
- Standardized integration let DHL Supply Chain scale from 30 to more than 100 sites.
- Decouples automation projects from WMS upgrades, reducing project dependencies.
- Unified, AI-ready performance data across all automation in one dashboard.
5. Market trends & opportunities
Warehouse operators increasingly combine AMRs, AutoStore, sorters and packaging machines from many vendors, and integration with WMS has become a key bottleneck. In Vietnam and Southeast Asia, 3PLs and e-commerce fulfilment centers that serve global brands need faster, repeatable integration to roll out automation across multiple sites.
6. Other information
Started in 2018; headquartered at 730 West 20th Street, Norfolk, Virginia. Has received Gartner recognition. Connector ecosystem includes AutoStore by Kardex, Rapyuta, LG CLOi, CMC, RightHand Robotics and 6River Systems. DHL Supply Chain uses SOFTBOT as a global integration standard.
