Photoneo Brightpick, a provider of 3D vision and AI robotics solutions, has closed the sale of Photoneo to Zebra Technologies, a specialist in digitizing and automating warehouse workflows.
Photoneo, the former sister company of Brightpick under the Photoneo Brightpick Group umbrella, is a provider of robotic vision sensors and intelligence software.
The Photoneo Brightpick Group has been renamed Brightpick and will continue operating as a separate entity focused on developing and deploying AI robots to automate warehouse operations.
The majority of proceeds from the sale will be dedicated to accelerating Brightpick’s deployment of its AI robots across the US and Europe. To date, Brightpick has secured a total of $47 million in funding.
Jan Zizka, founder and CEO at Photoneo Brightpick, says: “This transaction produced significant capital to reinvest in Brightpick, while providing some return to shareholders.
“With Brightpick’s 2025 production capacity fully booked, this funding enables us to scale manufacturing and deployment to meet the growing demand for our AI robots, expand to new markets, and serve even more customers.”
Brightpick is a provider of warehouse automation solutions for order fulfillment. The Brightpick solution takes just weeks to deploy and enables companies to reduce their fulfillment labor to a minimum.
Brightpick Autopicker, the company’s award-winning flagship robot, is the only mobile robot in the world that robotically picks and consolidates orders directly in warehouse aisles, like a human with a cart.
Last month the company announced Brightpick Giraffe, an innovative robot capable of reaching heights up to six meters, along with the first two US customers of the new system.
With this advancement, Brightpick users can now achieve up to three times the warehouse storage density of manual operations and double the density compared to the previous Brightpick solution.
