U.S.-built, service-backed autonomy designed to elevate your workforce
Seegrid Corporation, a leader in autonomous vehicle solutions for modern industrial facilities, is proud to announce that its Lift RS1 AMR has been awarded Material Handling’s 2025 Products of the Year Readers’ Choice Award. This achievement underscores Seegrid’s commitment to delivering reliable, proven autonomous solutions designed to augment human-led workflows where human and robotic workforces thrive together.
“This award reflects our mission to deliver autonomy that works—and drives real ROI for our customers every day. Our autonomous lifts improve daily operations and are backed by U.S.-based support, local deployment teams, and decades of AMR expertise,” said David Griffin, Chief Sales Officer at Seegrid.
Autonomy That Empowers Teams
In today’s industrial landscape, companies face labor challenges, a need for consistent throughput, and increasing pressure to automate. The Lift RS1 stands out by offering proven, reliable autonomy that flexes with real-world manufacturing and warehousing needs.
- Reliable performance: Built on Seegrid’s proven autonomy stack, the RS1 leverages industry-leading vision-based navigation and LiDAR-based SLAM to navigate modern industrial environments.
- Sliding Scale Autonomy: A unique-to-Seegrid innovation, the RS1’s Sliding Scale Autonomy blends AMR agility with AGV predictability so that it can perform effortlessly with the capabilities needed for the task at hand.
- Safety-first design: The RS1’s advanced, layered safety system establishes a new standard for autonomous lift truck reliability. A full 3D detection volume continuously monitors the vehicle and its payload along the entire route, while precise drop-zone scanning ensures every load is placed safely—providing critical protection for people and materials.
- Proven track record: Seegrid’s autonomous vehicle fleet has logged more than 18 million autonomous miles in U.S. production environments—giving customers the confidence that their automation strategies will deploy faster, deliver stronger ROI, and scale reliably for years to come.
Built in the U.S., Backed by U.S. Expertise
Seegrid’s strength lies not only in its technology but also in its roots:
- U.S.-based deployment and support: From customer engagement to deployment and ongoing support, Seegrid’s teams are locally based, ensuring rapid response, on-the-ground expertise, and a customer-centric service model.
- Designed in America: Seegrid’s AMRs are designed, assembled, validated, and tested in Pittsburgh, Pa, reinforcing quality control and supply chain resiliency.
- Proven track record with U.S. customers: Seegrid’s decades of deployments span over 50 fortune-500 industrial organizations with global impact, showcasing deep experience with domestic operations, compliance, and workflows designed to bring real results.
This U.S.-first approach enables customers to receive not only cutting-edge robotics, but dependable, supported autonomous solutions backed by local teams who understand their facility, culture, and changing needs.
Industry-Leading ROI, Exactly When You Need It
- Rapid time to value: Seegrid’s customer deployments are measured in weeks—not months. The RS1 can be integrated seamlessly into live workflows with minimal disruption and fast ROI, far outpacing other solutions that often require months of setup—or never fully deliver in real-world operations.
- Tangible operational impact: In one high-volume industrial manufacturing facility, over 100 Seegrid AMRs (including RS1s) handle nearly 80% of inbound, non-conveyed material moves, reducing inventory levels by up to 30%. This level of autonomy drives measurable efficiency gains, minimizes labor strain, and enables facilities to meet production targets faster and more reliably.
- Scalable autonomy: Whether deployed as a single, high-impact workflow unit or hundreds across multiple sites, Seegrid’s autonomous vehicle solutions easily scale to meet evolving throughput demands with consistent performance customers can rely on.
Seegrid continues to lead the industry in autonomous material handling that is predictable, intuitive, and built for the realities of modern industrial facilities.
