Dock-to-dock moves are high-volume, repetitive, and not the
best use of your team's judgment. Third Wave takes those
tasks autonomously while your people focus on supervision
and decision-making. One off-floor operator oversees up to 10 autonomous forklifts from a single console. When the system reaches its confidence threshold, it surfaces the situation for human resolution in seconds, then keeps moving.

A misplaced pallet is not just a location error. It triggers a chain of compounding costs: a pick error that reaches a customer, an SLA miss with a penalty, a reconciliation cycle that consumes labor hours, and safety stock ordered to cover inventory you technically have but cannot reliably locate. Third Wave eliminates the source. Autonomous vehicles execute every move to WMS specification, physical AI-powered pallet perception handles load variation, and the nesting sensor confirms seating before every move.

Zero misplaced pallets
Your team's capacity multiplies as operators shift to a higher-value supervisory role.
Eliminated safety-stock overhead
Stop ordering buffer stock to compensate for inventory you cannot reliably locate.
Consistent across every shift
Accuracy is the same at hour one and hour ten.. Rolls out alongside your existing operation.

The real hit is the section taken out of service, the operational disruption during assessment and repair, the insurance premium adjustment after recurring incidents, and the OSHA exposure that follows a reportable event. Third Wave forklifts do not clip racks. The combination of 3D LiDAR, centimeter-level navigation accuracy, and the Collision Shield makes contact with racking during normal operations effectively eliminated. The 99.99% reduction is documented performance across live deployments, not a modeled estimate.

Forklift incidents are the leading cause of serious warehouse injury.
Most safety programs respond with training, signage, and floor markings: controls that depend entirely on human compliance and degrade under fatigue and production pressure. Third Wave's approach is architectural. The physical AI platform perceives people, forklifts, and objects in 360 degrees with centimeter-level accuracy, classifies what it sees, and responds before contact can occur. The Collision Shield adds a redundant layer during remote operation.
