Let automation handle the repetitive work. Free your team for what requires judgment.
Let automation handle the repetitive work. Free your team for what requires judgment.
Dock-to-stock moves are high-volume and repetitive, not the best use of your team’s judgment. Third Wave’s autonomous forklifts handle these tasks, freeing operators for high-value decisions. One off-floor operator oversees up to 10 forklifts from a single station, resolving exceptions in seconds.

A misplaced pallet is not just a location error. It triggers compounding costs: pick errors reaching customers, SLA penalties, labor-heavy reconciliation, and safety stock ordered to cover inventory you can’t reliably locate. Third Wave eliminates the source: autonomous vehicles execute every move to WMS spec, 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.

ZERO RACKING
DAMAGE
ZERO RACKING DAMAGE
The cost of racking damage is higher
than the repairs.
The cost of racking damage is higher than the repairs.
The real cost is the section taken out of service, disruption during repair, rising insurance premiums, and OSHA exposure after a reportable event. Third Wave forklifts do not clip racks. 3D LiDAR, centimeter-level navigation, and the Collision Shield eliminate contact with racking during normal operations. The 99.99% reduction is documented across live deployments, not modeled.

Lower insurance and liability costs
Fewer incidents mean lower premiums and reduced OSHA exposure.
Recovered operational capacity
Racking sections return to full availability as downtime disappears.

Safety built into the architecture, not bolted on.
Forklift incidents are a leading cause of serious warehouse injury. Most safety programs rely on training, signage, and floor markings: controls that depend on human compliance and degrade under fatigue. Third Wave’s approach is architectural. Its physical AI platform perceives people, forklifts, and objects in 360 degrees, classifies what it sees, and responds before contact occurs. The Collision Shield adds a redundant layer during remote operation.
