Ambi Robotics Inc., a developer of robotic sorting and stacking systems, last week said it has sold out of its latest product, AmbiStack, for 2025. The company said this was due to strong demand from Fortune 500 shipping and logistics customers.
This news comes just a few months after Ambi introduced AmbiStack. The Berkeley, Calif.-based company said that since introducing the sorting and stacking system, it has seen significant interest from leading logistics companies.
“Developed directly in response to customer feedback, AmbiStack fills a real gap in the market,” stated Jim Liefer, CEO of Ambi Robotics. “Retail and logistics giants needed a smarter, scalable way to handle stacking inbound and outbound packages with speed and accuracy as volumes keep rising, and they needed it a long time ago. Selling out our first full year of product just months after launch shows how urgent the demand truly is.”
AmbiStack exceeds manual palletizing rates with simulation training
AmbiStack is an AI-powered robotic stacking system intended to optimize material handling operations. The system’s multipick capability allows it to pick and place multiple items simultaneously, exceeding manual palletizing rates.
Its modular design enables sorting and stacking on multiple pallets with a single machine. This reduces the need for constant pallet removal and enables round-the-clock operations, according to Ambi Robotics.
Pre-trained in simulation, AmbiStack is ready to deploy from Day 1, the company claimed, adapting to different facility layouts. It uses simulation-to-reality (Sim2Real) reinforcement learning to stack random boxes with high density.
AmbiStack continuously improves its performance post-deployment by leveraging data collected in real-world operations, said Ambi. This data-driven feedback loop is central to the solution’s long-term value.
System certified for data management
To reinforce its commitment to customer data security, Ambi Robotics received its first Service Organization Control (SOC) 2 Type II audit report, which had no exceptions. The company said this validates its cybersecurity standards.
“As our robotic solutions continue to scale within warehouses, so does the amount of robot data for training foundation models,” said Jeff Mahler, chief technology officer of Ambi Robotics. “Achieving SOC 2 Type II compliance is a critical step in ensuring secure data management and reinforcing trust with enterprise customers, especially as cybersecurity threats continue to evolve.”
Ambi said it follows strict protocols for data access, handling, and retention to safeguard customer information. The company conducts regular security audits and testing, including third-party penetration tests, to uphold the highest standards of protection.
All customer data is encrypted at rest and in transit, and the AmbiOS operating system is hosted across multiple geographically distributed data centers with built-in redundancies, the company said. Ambi Robotics supports customer single sign-on (SSO) for secure login and uses data for remote support and continuous system improvement, including AI retraining.

Ambi Robotics to ramp up production
Ambi Robotics plans to begin initial customer deployments of AmbiStack mid-year; its 2025 inventory is fully reserved. The company is ramping up its production capacity to support significant growth and strategic deployments.
It also plans to scale its manufacturing capabilities to fulfill demand from customers that are waitlisted into 2026. Founded in 2018, Ambi has developed robots that scale e-commerce operations to meet demand.
Its other system, the AmbiSort B-Series, is a modular parcel induction and sorting system using artificial intelligence. The sort-to-gaylord system can handle up to 1,200 sorts per hour.
In addition, it can be used in various use cases, such as reverse logistics, zone skipping, and AI vision quality control. This makes it one of the more configurable systems available in today’s market, claimed Ambi.
