Astrid was born out of a simple observation: inventory is time-consuming, costly, and prone to error. The need to automate the process and improve reliability had become essential.
ID Story
Astrid is an autonomous robot designed for stock-taking. It captures, analyses and validates data entirely on its own, revolutionising inventory management.
ID Story
In 2019, the project got off the ground with a clear objective: to prove that a robot can carry out an inventory independently and reliably.
