Frequently Asked Questions

Vector is purpose-built for heavier loads (600 lbs vs. Origin's 80 lbs) and material handling workflows. If your operation involves case picking, pallet movement, shelf transport, or integration with mechanized systems, Vector delivers the payload capacity and industrial robustness required. Many warehouses deploy both Origin and Vector as a unified fleet, assigning each robot type to optimal tasks.

Yes. Vector's roller-top configuration enables seamless connection to conveyors, sortation equipment, and other mechanized automation. This flexibility allows Vector to bridge manual picking operations with automated downstream processes without requiring costly infrastructure modifications.

Omnidirectional movement eliminates the need for Vector to turn or reorient, enabling faster task execution in congested spaces and more efficient path planning. This capability is particularly valuable in narrow aisles, around obstacles, and when approaching fixed equipment at various angles.

Vector's extended 90-meter 3D LiDAR range enables safe, accurate operation in large-footprint facilities (up to 1+ million square feet). This capability provides superior environmental awareness and enables faster movement without safety compromises, supporting high-throughput material handling across extensive warehouse spaces.

Vector's open platform design accommodates diverse load types: pallets, cases, bins, shelves, racks, and custom-designed attachments. The roller-top configuration adds flexibility for conveyor feeding. This adaptability enables a single Vector fleet to support multiple warehouse processes without reconfiguration.

While Origin focuses on task frequency (many small-payload movements), Vector excels in payload-per-trip and total material movement volume. In operations handling cases and heavy items, Vector typically achieves higher material throughput per robot due to larger payload capacity and integration with mechanized systems.
