ATLANTA – At MODEX 2026, GreyOrange announced the launch of GreyMatter Foundry, which the company said is an immersive AI simulator designed to unify warehouse flow design, technology sizing and layout planning into a single, high-fidelity environment.

With GreyMatter Foundry, GreyOrange said that customers, systems integrators and in-house fulfillment teams can model complex automation scenarios to predict total system performance, estimate build-out costs and visualize harmonious wall-to-wall orchestration before deploying a single dollar of capital.

GreyOrange’s MODEX booth features demos of its new platform, along with the company’s other warehouse platforms.

Bridging the gap between design and reality

GreyOrange said that GreyMatter Foundry meets the growing need for AI tools that can manage complex, heterogeneous warehouse environments comprising fleets of robots from different vendors, other forms of automation as well as human associates.

GreyMatter, the company’s multi-agent warehouse orchestration system, is already deployed across thousands of warehouses. The company said it is the ‘brain,’ orchestrating a collective fleet of over 130,000 agents from GreyOrange’s Certified Ranger Network and making 250,000 trips per day and over 1 million optimizations per minute.

With the addition of Foundry, GreyOrange said that supply chain leaders can now harness this unparalleled dataset to generate high-quality, accurate wall-to-wall simulations for any design permutation in a matter of hours rather than weeks.

GreyOrange provided the following GreyMatter Foundry features:

• Unlimited heterogeneous simulations: Unlike traditional toolsets, GreyOrange said that Foundry allows users to model unlimited robotic agent types and human-led processes simultaneously. Users can custom-specify robotic agents already in their fleet or those currently in production.
• AI-powered design Copilot: Using a simple conversational prompt or pre-set templates, the company said that users can intuitively guide the simulation. The AI Copilot helps tailor recommendations to specific throughput requirements without bias toward any specific robotic hardware.

• The CRN advantage: While Foundry is vendor-agnostic, the company said that it delivers the highest-fidelity accuracy when simulating agents within the GreyOrange Certified Ranger Network (CRN). By drawing from over 1 million optimizations per minute performed by the CRN, GreyOrange said that Foundry provides unparalleled predictive reliability.
• Future-proofing for 5- and 10-year horizons: GreyOrange added that Foundry comes equipped with pre-set scenarios for future growth, analyzing which combination of robotic agents and labor will meet demand cycles five to ten years down the road.

“Warehouse automation should not be a leap of faith,” said Saurabh Gupta, CTO of GreyOrange and a member of Robotics 24/7’s Executive Advisory Board. “By putting the intelligence of our live, global GreyMatter network behind every simulation, we give distributors, 3PL’s, retailers and integrators a crystal ball grounded in real-world data. Whether you're designing from a greenfield scenario or rethinking an existing operation, Foundry lets you test thousands of scenarios, stress-test for peak demand, and arrive at deployment day with confidence.”

GreyOrange said that Foundry can be used to: 

• Simulate the impact of labor challenges, plan staffing, or adapt day-to-day operations for any peak periods, such as Black Friday
• Predict storage requirements and adapt workflows for seasonal SKU additions
• Model different layouts and flows to achieve specific throughput goals or financial efficiencies
• See 3D visualizations, walkthroughs and ROI calculations for the entire warehouse
• Run multiple simulations in parallel, exploring thousands of potential outcomes to predict performance and costs with 95% accuracy or greater, even in the most complex heterogeneous automation environments, both with the current rate of material flow and as the business expands
