About Third Wave Automation

Third Wave Automation provides AI-powered warehouse automation built around a simple idea: autonomous forklifts should work alongside people rather than replace their judgement. Its Shared Autonomy Platform is a software-defined system that combines a hybrid fleet of autonomous forklifts with intelligent fleet management, remote operation and remote assistance. The trucks can pick, transport and stage pallets on their own, and when an edge case appears a remote operator can step in within seconds and then hand control back. The same vehicle can also be teleoperated or driven manually like a conventional forklift, which the company presents as protection against lock-in. One operator can supervise a fleet of ten or more forklifts from an off-floor location.

Perception is based on 360-degree, centimeter-level 3D sensing that distinguishes people, forklifts and payloads, and warehouse zones can be reconfigured as operations change. The platform requires no infrastructure upgrades, integrates into existing workflows and is offered on a flexible Robots-as-a-Service subscription without a large capital outlay. In 2026 the company announced a technology partnership with The Raymond Corporation, part of Toyota Material Handling North America, to scale its automation across Raymond lift truck fleets, beginning with an automated Swing-Reach truck.
