“The AmbiSort AI-powered systems that Pitney Bowes has piloted over the past year and intends to deploy in our network of Global Ecommerce hubs over the next five years are part of a long-term plan to build the most technologically efficient, employee and client-friendly e-commerce logistics network in the industry,” said Gregg Zegras, EVP and President, Global Ecommerce, Pitney Bowes.

Powered by AmbiOS, Ambi Robotics’ advanced operating systems leverage proprietary simulation-to-reality AI that allows its robots to train exponentially faster than teaching algorithms in the physical world.

They are therefore able to automate tasks that are extremely difficult to perform, especially inside the high-pressure and fast-paced world of e-commerce logistics.

AmbiSort robots improve operational efficiency, accuracy, and worker safety as parcel volumes continue to surge. The systems also ultimately lead to improved capacity, accuracy, and scalability at Pitney Bowes’ client businesses.

“Global shippers are experiencing more demand than ever before and are turning to automated solutions that drastically reduce operating costs and increase associate productivity,” said Jim Liefer, CEO of Ambi Robotics.
