ATARIX

Dock operations are still done by hand. Staffing them is only getting harder.

Atarix offers humanoid robots to handle physically demanding work at your dock. We supply, set up, and operate the robots, while you manage scheduling, cargo, and site operations.

THE EVIDENCE

What the Data Shows

Most other parts of a warehouse are now partially automated. Loading and unloading at the dock, however, remain largely manual: lifting, carrying, and stacking under time constraints, often on short-staffed shifts.

WHAT WE PROVIDE

What We Handle, What You Keep

Most robotics vendors supply hardware and a training session, leaving daily operation to your shift leads. we operate the robots ourselves.

Robot selection, independence of manufacturer
Setup for your dock and load profile
Operation and supervision during the shift
Fault recovery
Maintenance and spare parts
Reporting in the metrics your site already uses

Managed by your site

Dock scheduling and slotting
Cargo, load plan, and quality standards
Safety governance and site access
Space, power, and network access at the dock

FIRST DEPLOYMENT

How an Initial Deployment Works

Atarix is an early-stage company. A first deployment produces data, not a replacement for your workforce.

One dock, one shift

A single door, one defined load profile. The rest of your operation is unaffected.

Baseline first

Before installing anything, we measure how the dock performs today: minutes per trailer, people per door.

Run and report

Atarix runs the deployment. A weekly report compares results to baseline: stoppages, recovery times, throughput.

Review the results

You receive measured data from your site to base a decision on.

FIRST USE CASE

Truck Loading & Unloading

Atarix starts with one task, not a general-purpose platform. Loading and unloading combines high physical demand with low decision complexity, a profile current humanoid robots handle best. It fits inside your dock infrastructure that already exists, so no rebuilding is required. And, it can be measured directly: cartons per hour, availability, recovery time after a stop.

THE TEAM

Founders Who've Shipped Before

CO-FOUNDER & CEO

Stefano Invidia

Process engineer, M.Sc. RWTH Aachen. Worked in management consulting, then project management at a renewable energy developer, building physical infrastructure on sites that rarely behaved as planned. Process engineering means looking for the bottleneck, not the average, which is how he ended up at the dock.

CO-FOUNDER & CTO

Avinash C. Ravi Shankar

8+ years in automotive ADAS and embedded systems — sensor fusion and edge AI on constrained hardware. Built production sensor pipelines at scale. A multi-robot depot floor is the same class of problem, at a different scale.
