ML2 Autonomous Guided Vehicle
Bastian SolutionsThe ML2 Mini Load Autonomous Vehicle is a warehouse AGV developed by Bastian Solutions (now part of Toyota Automated Logistics) that uses LiDAR-based natural features navigation (BlueBotics ANT® technology) to autonomously transport small loads up to 440 lbs at up to 4 mph without magnetic tape guidance. It is deployed in real industrial environments, most notably at Raymond West's 200,000 sq ft facility in Cypress, California, where it transports parts from stockroom to shop floor over a private cellular network. The vehicle features CAT 3-rated 360-degree safety scanners, automatic battery charging, bi-directional travel, and supports multiple load-handling appliances. Several extracted facts pertain to unrelated systems (a robotic dog, Figure AI humanoids, a drone, a robotic mower, and a comma.ai driver-assist system) and have been excluded from the ML2 synthesis.

Evidence-graded claims from the Bastian Solutions deep report
Bastian Solutions is an authorized regional integrator for Exotec's Skypod robotic system in North America, with the ability to sell and install the system.
Confirmed by a PR Newswire press release [8] issued by Exotec (the OEM), an independent party from Bastian Solutions, explicitly naming Bastian as its newest North American regional integrator — though actual deployments completed under this partnership remain unverified.
from Bastian Solutions deep report →Bastian Solutions planned a $130M new corporate campus investment in Noblesville, Indiana, with up to $4M in IEDC incentive-based tax credits committed.
Corroborated by both a Choose Noblesville government economic development press release [7] and an independent trade publication (Building Indiana) [9], with the IEDC tax credit commitment providing a government-sourced data point — though construction completion and actual spend remain unconfirmed.

Bastian Solutions provides end-to-end warehouse automation as a systems integrator, covering all five warehouse stages: Receiving, Transport, Storage, Picking, and Packing & Shipping.
This claim originates solely from the official Bastian Solutions website [1] and company brochure [4] — no independent customer audit or third-party operational report corroborates full five-stage coverage in a single deployed facility.
from Bastian Solutions deep report →Bastian Solutions' hardware throughput benchmarks: Perfect Pick ~350–400 cycles/hr per end-of-aisle; ADAPTO ~350 cycles/hr per aisle; Servus ~300 cycles/hr per lift; AutoStore ~250 cycles/hr per port.
Figures appear in a Georgia Tech case study presentation [5] attributed to Bastian Solutions itself — this is vendor-sourced data presented in an academic venue, not independently tested or validated by a neutral third party.
from Bastian Solutions deep report →Bastian Solutions' Exacta software suite constitutes a proprietary, integrated WMS/WCS/WES and Fleet Management platform for end-to-end supply chain orchestration.
Described across the official website [1] and company brochure [4] as vendor-sourced claims only — no independent analyst report, customer case study, or third-party benchmark in the dossier validates the platform's integration depth or operational performance.
from Bastian Solutions deep report →Bastian Solutions' Model 9600 AGV uses guide-by-wire navigation and inductive power transfer with no onboard batteries, positioning it as an alternative to unit load AS/RS systems.
Described only in the Georgia Tech case study [5] sourced from Bastian Solutions' own presentation — no independent test report, customer deployment record, or third-party review in the dossier confirms these specifications or real-world performance.
