STAK YOUR STUFF!!!

Ceiling-Based Robotic Systems for In-Hand Logistics:

Fully automated logistics from Factory to Hand - in the home, on the street, in the park, in the office, in the store - almost anywhere!

WHY THE CEILING?

Many Advantages Over Floor-Based Systems:

  1. Not affected by things on the floor (objects, pets, people, furniture, toys, etc.)
  2. Efficient use of space (uses empty volume above ceiling)
  3. Unobstructed view and coverage (for sensing and surveillance)
  4. Floor can be used for other things (living, working, playing, more storage)
  5. Increased safety (out of the way, reduced chances of accidents with people)
  6. Access from floor to ceiling (cleaning, dusting, maintenance, storage)
  7. Reduced wear on floor surfaces (carpets, rugs, wood floors)
  8. Synergistic with floor-based robots (hand-off for deliveries, picking)
  9. Superior to humanoid robots (less expensive, simpler, increased access)



Stakabl

About:

Stakabl is a Silicon Valley based startup developing patented ceiling based robotic and logistics solutions for:


Convenience Stores

Gas Stations

Restaurants

Retail Spaces

Manufacturing

Forward / Reverse Logistics

Homes

ADUs

Micro Fulfillment Centers

Aging in Place

Garages

Indoor Agriculture

and More!


The system comprises a simple grid of Storage Cells and integrated Rails (like a Drop Ceiling) with optional power in the grid for appliance modules and other functions requiring an energy source.


The Cells support stacks of Trays that are held in place by spring loaded latches actuated by an XY Ceiling Robot.


The battery powered XY Robot travels on the Rails and supports a cable driven Z Platform "Elevator".


The Z Platform raises, lowers and delivers the Trays anywhere for in-hand fulfillment of requested items via Siri, Alexa, etc.


Trays can be handed off to other robots (floor, service, delivery, drone, etc.).


There are two types of Trays:

1.  Storage Trays - "dumb" from 1 inch up to multiple feet tall (in 25mm increments).

2. Tray Modules - "smart" and powered with unlimited functionality.


AI will enable predictive ordering and inform delivery time for requested items.


$60K in cash and $1.5M in sweat equity invested by founder.


A full-scale mockup has been built and the mechanical design of the Ceiling Storage Cells, XY Robot and Storage Trays are 100% complete - ready to build.


A prototype of the 75mm tall Storage Tray and one ceiling cell has been produced.

Our Mission:

This YouTube video from AutoStore pretty well sums it up:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6A0_kQRLOjw

Stakabl advantages over AutoStore:

1.  No large vertical structure required

2.  Minimal to zero "digging" required

3.  Small trays instead of large bins

4.  Short depth trays vs one deep bin

5.  Very tall trays possible (up to six+ feet)

6.  Space below can be utilized

7.  Picking can take place at any location

8.  Direct interface to floor robots

9.  Can retro-fit into existing structures

10. Utilize wasted volume above ceilings

11.  Simple "Drop Ceiling" installation

12. "Hot Swapping" batteries (no wait!)

13. Full automation from factory to hand

14. Tray Modules for other functionality:

     *  Robot Arms

     *  Dispensing

     *  Appliances

     *  Batteries

     *  Growing

     *  Vacuum Bots

     *  Robot Heads

     *  Floor Bots

     *  Companion Bots

     *  And More!!






Ai

Predictive Delivery

Predictive Delivery

Predictive Delivery

In the home the system will learn each individual's routine and present items when and where they are needed - breakfast, workouts, drinks after work, sports, etc.

Delivery Time

Predictive Delivery

Predictive Delivery

When an item is requested, the system will inform the length of time for delivery - from seconds, to minutes, to hours, to days - depending on where in the world the item is located.

Delivery Cost

Predictive Delivery

Delivery Cost

The requestor will be informed of price options depending on speed of delivery and the source of the requested item (neighbor, corner store, Big Box, Amazon, etc.)

SAVE THE PLANET

Shipping Containers

Forward/Reverse Logistics

Forward/Reverse Logistics

75% of containers arriving in the U.S. return home empty
