Customer case study
Armada Supply Chain Solutions chose Third Wave Automation
Armada Supply Chain Solutions is the customer. ArmadaFMS is Third Wave Automation’s fleet management software platform.
Read the case study
What really stood out about Third Wave was their shared autonomy model. It lets us automate parts of our operation without having to make infrastructure changes. That’s a big win.

Customer testimonial
“This pilot demonstrated real operational value, higher accuracy, predictable performance, and meaningful labor leverage. We knew it was going to be a challenge to implement this technology in a brownfield site, but we were pleased at the results of running almost 70% autonomously in a legacy building. Third Wave was very responsive to our requirements, and we are confident that when implemented in a greenfield environment, we could run 90%+ autonomously using Third Wave Automation. We now have a clear roadmap for expanding this technology across the Armada network.”

Fully autonomous
Trucks run the playbook on their own, picking, transporting, and staging.
Remote assist
Operators step in for edge cases from anywhere, then hand control back.
Remote operation
Full teleoperation when a task needs a human in the loop.
Manual
Drive it like any forklift. Same truck, zero lock-in.
360° · cm-level
3D perception that sees people, forklifts, and payloads, and tells them apart.
Dynamic zones
Reconfigure warehouse zones on the fly as your operation changes.
Always improving
