What Attabotics does
Attabotics designs and manufactures an intelligent 3D cube-based Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS) for warehouse fulfillment, marketed as The Storage System. The platform combines a dense Cubic Storage Structure, Attabot robots that travel in three dimensions at 2.7 m/s with on-the-fly supercapacitor charging, ergonomic Presentation Stations for goods-to-person picking, and proprietary Attabotics Software with an Integration API for WMS connectivity. The system is sold on a capital-equipment basis with recurring software and service contracts, delivered either through direct enterprise sales or via an integrator channel (SAVOYE North America, LaFayette subsidiary network) for large retailers, grocery and foodservice distributors, e-commerce operators, and government customers. Attabotics was founded in 2015 in Calgary, Alberta, raised $165.1M in venture funding including a $71.7M 2022 Series C led by Export Development Canada, filed for bankruptcy protection in summer 2024, and was acquired by Kentucky-based LaFayette Systems in September 2025. Following the acquisition, Attabotics restarted operations in February 2026 under blended legacy and LaFayette leadership, expanded manufacturing to central Kentucky in March 2026, launched the fire-safety Guardian bin, and rolled out an integrator partnership program anchored by SAVOYE North America. Reported performance metrics — 85% warehouse space reduction, 75% labor savings, and 90-second order fulfillment — are vendor-disclosed claims and not third-party verified.
