Fourth annual list recognizes groundbreaking
advancements in technology
ArcBest® (Nasdaq: ARCB), a leader in supply chain logistics,
announced today that it has been named to Fast Company’s annual
Next Big Things in Tech list. Now in its fourth year, the
influential list honors emerging technology spanning a variety of
industries for their profound impact on consumers, businesses and
society in general.
This year, Fast Company recognizes 138 technologies in 28
categories for their potential to revolutionize the way we work and
live. ArcBest’s Vaux Smart Autonomy is highlighted in the General
Excellence category for “helping robots and humans safely work side
by side.”
Vaux Smart Autonomy combines autonomous mobile robot (AMR)
forklifts and reach trucks, intelligent software and remote
teleoperation capabilities to autonomously handle materials
movement – all while keeping humans in the loop. Vaux forklifts and
reach trucks are equipped with advanced perception software,
sensors and cameras that help the vehicles safely navigate
warehouses, distribution centers and other industrial facilities.
With a 3D, 360-degree view, the AMRs can see their environment as
humans do to avoid each other or the people and structures around
them. Learn more about the full Vaux technology suite here.

supply chains moving safely and efficiently,” said Dennis Anderson,
