Eiratech Robotics is the Dublin-based innovator of a complete goods-to-person robotics automation platform for multiple applications, including e-fulfilment, materials handling, kitting and retail, and developing into a seamless, end-to-end goods-to-consumer digital e-commerce experience.
Eirasystem is our e-fulfilment application that enhances warehouse picking operations through the use of a fleet of Eirabots. Using the latest technology to combine hardware and software applications, this system offers true intelligent efficiency delivering 600 picks per person per hour. Our solution doesn't require heavy infrastructure and can be quickly installed, moved or extended. The Eiratech solution is a complete system for warehouses, and distribution and e-fulfilment centres, and combines cutting edge hardware components with a highly complex and effective software core. Our systems three key hardware components are Eirabots (AGV robots), picking stations and shuttle racks.

Formation: Translating existing processes by integrating Eiraparts™ software with
existing ERP/MRP/MES introducing harmonised infrastructure and smart Eirabuttons™.
Evolution: Expanding the digital work-flow to the sortation of components
on the shop floor for the direct line feed and kitting operations.
Optimisation: Automation of the internal warehouse (‘supermarket’)
with Eirabots™.
Transformation: Automation of the shop floor logistics
using Eirabots™.

Eiraparts™ – Materials Handling system that…
• enables Mass Customisation to
build individual products efficiently
in a short time – Lot Size 1
• fuels smart factory by employing
Eirabots™ to move and track
components as they work their
way through the assembly line and
into the hands of their customers
• decreases delivery time of the
finished product
14. 14
• operates in real time giving full track
and trace abilities at all times
• delivers real cost savings through
enhanced efficiencies
• is flexible and scalable allowing the
system grow with the operation
• optimises inventory level both in
storage and on the shop floor

We grew out of a team of diverse
professionals from the leading Irish,
Russian and US companies with experience in
industrial automation, warehousing robotics,
intelligent hardware sensors, robotics vision
and artificial neural networking.
Many of the team have robotics experience
and as such recognised that their research
collectively had the potential to radically
transform the supply-chain industry.
Eiratech was formed to bring the latest digital
technological developments in robotics to the
people working in material handling
industry.
