AMC Robotics Corporation (NASDAQ: AMCI), an AI-driven industrial automation and robotics solutions provider, has entered a strategic collaboration with Sunward Logistics USA LLC to deploy and field-validate its next-generation warehouse sorting robot, NovaArm™, marking a significant step toward commercial rollout of the technology. (GlobeNewswire)
Moving NovaArm™ Into Live Warehouse Operations
Under the new agreement, Sunward Logistics — a U.S.-based logistics and supply chain services firm — will serve as AMC Robotics’ first commercial deployment customer and strategic partner for NovaArm™. The robot will be integrated directly into Sunward’s live warehouse operations for structured on-site testing and operational validation.
NovaArm™, which is designed to automate sorting processes in warehouses, is part of AMC Robotics’ product development roadmap. Prior to this collaboration, the system had been tested internally. With the Sunward engagement, the company is now advancing the robot into a pre-commercial deployment phase, gathering real-world data on throughput, accuracy, and reliability in a functioning logistics environment.
Pre-Commercial Testing and Readiness for Launch
AMC Robotics has previously outlined plans to complete testing and formally launch NovaArm™ in the second quarter of 2026, with the current Sunward collaboration serving as a key milestone in that timeline. The field validation phase is expected to run through the first quarter of 2026, enabling operational insights that can refine performance and support the final stages of commercial readiness.
By working with an established logistics operator early in the validation process, AMC Robotics aims to ensure that NovaArm™ meets the demands of high-volume warehouse environments and aligns its product development closely with real-world customer requirements before broader market introduction.
Strategic Implications for AMC Robotics
Securing a strategic partner and first deployment customer prior to a full-scale commercial launch reflects what AMC’s management described as meaningful progress in transitioning from research and development into commercialization. In a statement, CEO Sean noted that deploying NovaArm™ in a live operational setting represents a major step forward in the company’s execution roadmap and reaffirms its focus on disciplined product development.
Frank Si, General Manager of Sunward Logistics USA, emphasized the value of evaluating the NovaArm™ system within a real logistics workflow and exploring its long-term potential in sorting automation.
Context: Automation and Warehouse Robotics Growth
Warehouse robotics — including automated sortation systems like NovaArm™ — are gaining traction as e-commerce growth and supply chain efficiency demands continue to drive adoption of intelligent automation in the logistics sector. NovaArm™ is intended to help businesses improve sorting accuracy, increase throughput, and reduce reliance on manual labor — key challenges in modern fulfillment and distribution operations.
For AMC Robotics, this collaboration reinforces its strategic push to commercialize its warehouse automation technologies commercially and build a footprint within key logistics customers ahead of broader product rollout plans.
