How CRUX works

No rails, no docks, no new shelving. The store changes nothing.

From first design to your store's shelves

    Stage 1Done

    Design and Prototype

    CRUX A1 is designed at full scale, measured part by part, and restocks a simulated convenience store.

  2. Stage 2Now

    Engineering

    The lift, arm and gripper are tested on real shelves and real stock until CRUX A1 restocks the same way every time.

  3. Stage 3Next

    Pilot
