We are a growing, well-funded start-up, with a mission to reinvent retailing through robotics. Proud to be named one of Boston's Best Places to Work 2019 by @BosBizJournal

We secured initial funding in Summer 2016 with an animation of our Flexible Mobile Robotics solution and by Spring 2019 had developed the revolutionary technology and launched our Alphabot micro-fulfillment center at a Walmart Supercenter in Salem, NH.

We have brought to market the Alphabot® Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS) and Automated Each-Picking System, the most capital-efficient and broadly scalable design of each of these solutions ever developed. At the heart of Alphabot solution is a mobile robot unique in its ability to operate in all three dimensions within a multilevel storage structure.

Alphabot technology makes possible a new type of supermarket featuring automated service rather than self-service, which will become the next paradigm in food retailing. We are solving the most challenging problem that self-service food retailers face today, which is how to move their businesses online profitably and at scale. Our name for this new format of supermarket is Novastore.
This store format will enable quantum improvements to both customer experience and store operating economics.

As of January 2022, we have grown to 320 team members. We are looking for people to join our team who love their work and want it to be meaningful, strive for excellence, and want to work in a collaborative, team-oriented culture.

Team Members come from IBM, Brooks Automation, GE, Amazon Robotics, iRobot, Boston Dynamics, Symbotic, Rockwell Automation, Medtronic/ Covidien, Global Foundries, Many with 20+ years experience.

Alert Innovation has 31 issued or pending patents on its technology and our team members are named Inventors on over 250 total issued patents and counting.
