What Sesto Robotics does

Sesto Robotics is a Singapore-based designer and manufacturer of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) founded in 2017, serving enterprise customers in manufacturing, healthcare, warehousing, semiconductor, aerospace, and specialty industries. The company operates under the Magnus brand architecture, offering a comprehensive product portfolio that includes compact AMRs (MP200, MP300, MP400L), lifters (MP300L through MP1000L), and forklifts (MF300DM through MP1500S), as well as specialized application variants such as Prime 2 for semiconductor FOUP handling, MediBot and Magnus Care for hospital logistics, and Magnus Conveyor for production line integration. MagFleet, the company's proprietary fleet management software, coordinates multi-robot operations with traffic management, task assignment, and system integration across deployed fleets that have logged over 3 million cumulative operational hours.

The underlying technology combines laser-based SLAM navigation for millimeter-level localization without floor markers, 3D depth camera-based obstacle recognition, and dynamic speed adjustment driven by environmental sensing. Sesto designs and builds its AMRs in-house at two Singapore facilities (Westech headquarters and Pantech engineering and production) and integrates with enterprise IT and OT systems (WMS, MES, ERP, ASRS, doors, lifts, building automation) via REST APIs, SEMI E84 and E87 for semiconductor tools, and SECS/GEM protocols. The company holds certifications including ISO 9001, ISO 3691-4, EN 1525, CE, UN 38.3, EMC and ESD compliance, ISO Class 4 cleanroom for the MP200, and Singapore Ministry of Health MDOTS cybersecurity compliance for hospital deployments.

Sesto's revenue model combines AMR hardware sales, recurring software licenses for MagFleet, and professional services covering consultation, simulation, deployment, training, and ongoing maintenance. The go-to-market relies on direct enterprise field sales targeting large industrial facilities, healthcare systems, and semiconductor fabs, with named customers including Infineon, Micron, ST Engineering, Vanguard, Tan Tock Seng Hospital, Khoo Teck Puat Hospital, and Singapore Technologies. Singapore government grant programs (Productivity Solutions Grant and Enterprise Development Grant) facilitate customer acquisition domestically. The company has raised approximately $9.7M across two funding rounds in 2018 and 2022 from investors including Singtel Innov8, Heliconia Capital, Seeds Capital, TRIVE VC, and WTI GmbH.
