Tell us about your product and what you feel sets it apart from similar products.

AmbiVision is Ambi Robotics’ AI-powered item intelligence and perception software application designed to identify and extract text from cases of goods in distribution centers, even when labels are inconsistent, varied, or unstructured. Cases pass through a scan tunnel equipped with cameras and image-based barcode scanners that capture images from all sides of the box. The system uses AI to locate and extract key identifiers and sends the results directly to the warehouse management or sorting system, with all processing done locally on-site. What sets AmbiVision apart is its ability to reliably interpret real-world labels that traditional systems struggle to read.

What sets AmbiVision apart is the depth of real-world data and experience behind it. As Ambi Robotics’ robots have sorted over 250,000 hours in production, they have collected over one billion images of items moving through logistics operations. This data helped Ambi refine AI-powered robot skills for measuring, tracking, reading, and inspecting packages in highly variable environments. Now, due to customer demand, AmbiVision brings these capabilities into a software application for item intelligence in logistics and manufacturing.

Tell us about the R&D behind this product.  Who is this product designed for?  What problem is it solving?

AmbiVision was born out of the development of Ambi Robotics’ robotic stacking system, AmbiStack, and leverages the same AI skills that power the robot’s ability to perceive and interact with packages. 

The application is built for distribution centers handling cases of goods across verticals including discount retail, apparel, healthcare, and 3PL operations - particularly facilities that receive goods from suppliers with inconsistent or non-standardized labeling. AmbiVision eliminates the need for operators to manually read and enter label information by automatically identifying the relevant data, like PO numbers or item numbers, regardless of how it's written or where it appears on the box.

Give us an idea on the installation process.

The system includes a structural frame with integrated lighting, image-based barcode scanners, a dimensioning camera, an electrical cabinet, and an on-site computer for local processing. Conveyance can be provided by the customer, an integrator, or Ambi Robotics depending on the installation.

AmbiVision sends read results directly to your warehouse management system or sorting system. Integration is designed to fit into existing workflows without requiring major infrastructure changes.

How is your company setup to support the users of your products.

Ambi Robotics works closely with customers during deployment and provides ongoing support through its engineering and customer success teams. The company also offers performance reporting and operational insights to help customers optimize automated workflows.

What feedback have you received from the field?  Can you share a use case and the results?

In initial deployments, customers are seeing up to a 30% reduction in operating costs by eliminating manual label reading and data entry when barcode data is missing or unreliable.
