GreyOrange CEO Akash Gupta discusses how AI and robotics are reshaping warehouse operations, as the industry moves toward coordinated systems that boost productivity.

What happened: Akash Gupta, Co-founder and CEO of GreyOrange, was featured on The Robot Report Podcast to discuss AI-powered fulfillment orchestration. GreyOrange has grown since 2012 into a global leader serving major retailers and logistics providers. The company's platform, GreyMatter, coordinates robots and systems in real time, delivering up to 4x productivity gains.

Why it matters: Warehouses today struggle when robots, people, and systems cannot work together seamlessly. GreyOrange's approach shows that AI can unlock value by orchestrating existing infrastructure rather than requiring a complete hardware replacement. This matters to warehouse operators because it addresses a real operational bottleneck—coordination across multiple agents on the floor.

What to watch: GreyMatter performs over a million optimizations per minute and works with robots a facility already owns or plans to acquire. For warehouse operators considering AI adoption, this compatibility across legacy and new equipment is the key differentiator to evaluate.
