At Third Wave Automation, we've created the Shared Autonomy Platform; a system that integrates machine learning with shared autonomy. This enables autonomous reach trucks to operate with remote oversight, allowing human operators to intervene only when necessary.

With continuous improvement at the helm, this technology is designed to enhance efficiency and safety in warehouse automation (keeping operators out of harm's way), providing intelligent fleet management (ArmadaFMS) and better overall performance.

The TWA Reach, our fully autonomous reach truck, can be deployed onsite within a matter of weeks and not months, thanks to flexibility within environments and no additional infrastructure requirements.
