Symbotic's Nyobolt Deal Highly Promising: More Upside Ahead?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
Symbotic partnered with Nyobolt to enhance SymBot robots with advanced battery technology.
New batteries are 40% lighter, deliver 6x energy, and last 10x longer than lithium-ion.
Symbotic's partnership with Walmart is very profitable and accounts for a significant portion of revenues.
Symbotic (SYM - Free Report) recently inked a deal with Nyobolt concerning its SymBot autonomous mobile robots. The UK-based Nyobolt is known for its high-power and ultra-fast charging solutions. Naturally, the association with Nyobolt will enable Symbotic to enhance both performance and durability across its warehouse automation systems.
The newly adopted batteries deliver six times more energy capacity while being 40% lighter than the ultracapacitors currently powering SymBot mobile robots. This improvement reduces overall weight, broadens operating windows and significantly boosts system reliability. Additionally, the technology offers a remarkable cycle life, at least 10 times greater than conventional lithium-ion batteries, ensuring long-lasting efficiency.
For large-scale, interconnected warehouse systems, these benefits are particularly impactful. With higher energy reserves, SymBots will be able to perform substantially more tasks, operate under teleoperation for longer stretches and travel farther between charges. This enhanced capability promises greater flexibility, faster throughput and improved efficiency in moving goods throughout supply chains.
Symbotic, a minor investor in Nyobolt, began limited production use of the new batteries in June and plans to fully integrate them into SymBot production shortly. Importantly, the batteries are designed to be retrofit-compatible with earlier generations of SymBots and fully compatible with Symbotic’s existing charging infrastructure. This ensures a seamless transition for current customers while expanding the capabilities of future deployments.
We note that Symbotic is no stranger to the robotics business. Earlier this year, Symbotic completed the acquisition of Walmart’s (WMT - Free Report) advanced systems and robotics business. Walmart is the largest customer of SYM. Symbotic’s partnership with Walmart has been very profitable, accounting for a significant portion of its revenues. The company has also finalized a commercial agreement with Walmart to implement its automated Accelerated Pickup and Delivery centers, with the initial rollout spanning hundreds of store locations.
