Flux Auto

Flux Auto retrofits autonomy onto material handling equipment a facility already owns. Its engineers fit a hardware kit to an existing forklift, pallet jack, reach truck or tow truck, and the company's autonomy stack then drives the vehicle. The stated install time is about 48 hours per unit with no structural changes to the building, which is the central claim of the product: no purchase of purpose built autonomous machines, and no floor markings, tape or infrastructure work. It targets warehouses, manufacturing plants and distribution centers moving pallets between docks, storage, production and staging. After installation the system builds lidar maps of the site, learns the workflows in use, and detects pallets, obstacles and pedestrians in real time. Vehicles then run across multiple shifts while a dashboard assigns tasks, tracks progress and generates reports. The vendor cites deployments in the range of two to six weeks and lists installations across pallet jacks, tuggers and forklifts. Flux Auto publishes no prices. The pricing link resolves to the home page, and the only route to a figure is a booked site assessment, so cost is quote based. The site does publish comparison figures for the alternative it displaces, stating that purpose built autonomous forklifts run from $100,000 to $150,000 per unit with implementation cycles of around 12 months. One point of fit is worth noting: although the listing sits among coding tools, this is industrial robotics hardware and software sold to operations and plant teams, not a developer product.
