partnership for AI
Dematic

Looking ahead, this relationship creates a foundation to explore a joint network-level vision, extending orchestration beyond the warehouse to enable real-time, execution-aware coordination of inventory, capacity, and order flows across distributed fulfillment nodes including instore environments.

April 21, 2026

Dematic, a global leader in supply chain automation, announced a strategic partnering relationship with GreyOrange, a global leader in AI-powered warehouse orchestration and store inventory software, to expand its flexible automation capabilities, providing scalable solutions for customers through distribution and fulfillment.

Through this relationship, Dematic will offer GreyOrange’s GreyMatter, an AI-powered platform that coordinates robots and workflows to improve speed and accuracy.

“Today’s warehouse environments are more complex than ever, requiring seamless coordination between people, robots, and systems,” said Mike Larsson, Dematic president and KION executive board member. “Our partnering relationship with GreyOrange reflects Dematic’s commitment to delivering flexible, high-performance solutions that help customers adapt, and scale with confidence. By integrating GreyMatter, we’re extending our approach within flexible automation for a more unified integration capability that helps customers maximize existing investments while unlocking new levels of efficiency and agility.”

This partnering relationship represents an extension and acceleration of the Dematic software ecosystem, strengthening its ability to deliver flexible automation solutions by integrating the GreyMatter platform into Dematic’s existing software portfolio. Together, these capabilities connect diverse technologies and integrate activity across multi agent warehouse environments.

By incorporating this capability within its software orchestration ecosystem, Dematic enables customers to better coordinate fixed automation, autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), and human workflows within a unified system. 

The result is greater operational visibility, real time optimization, and the flexibility needed to adapt as fulfillment operations evolve while maximizing the value of existing automation investments.

Looking ahead, this relationship creates a foundation to explore a joint network-level vision, extending orchestration beyond the warehouse to enable real-time, execution-aware coordination of inventory, capacity, and order flows across distributed fulfillment nodes including instore environments.

“Dematic is known for its innovation and experience in delivering automation solutions to the world’s most complex supply chains, and understands that the future of automation is flexibility,” said Akash Gupta, CEO of GreyOrange. “Together, we’re giving Dematic’s customers the ability to do more with the automation investments they’ve already made by orchestrating every robot, system, and person in their operation through a single AI-driven layer. That means greater throughput, smarter decision-making, and the freedom to keep expanding their fleets on their own terms, without limits.
