Alert Innovation - Origin Story

Описание: What will supermarkets look like in the future?
The history of Alert Innovation can be traced back to a thought experiment in 1994, when inventor John Lert began thinking about how to use technology to create the “perfect” supermarket. He imagined a store in which machines pick customers’ orders for center-store items, but customers still pick their own fresh goods, with no checkout line.

That vision became the driving force for him professionally and led him into the field of material handling automation. In 2007, Lert founded CasePick Systems (now Symbotic®) to commercialize his invention of a mobile-robotic technology to automate case-picking in retail distribution centers. Lert sold Symbotic in 2009 and left the company in 2011 to begin working on an automated each-picking technology that would fulfill his vision of the automated supermarket.

In 2013, Lert founded Alert Corporation, later renamed to Alert Innovation, Inc., and began working with co-inventor and business partner Bill Fosnight. Together, they invented Alphabot®, secured start-up funding in 2016, and built the team that has made their vision of Alphabot a reality.
