Early Beginnings
Channa Ranatunga, our CEO, is no stranger to the logistics industry. He spent many years as a pack-and-mail store manager, a solutions engineer for a warehouse automation company, and even as a warehouse packer to understand how it all worked.
Through these experiences, he witnessed a profound lack of technology solutions for even the most glaring challenges, which compelled him to do something about it. In late 2018, Rabot was born.
Rabot Journey
As he gained more insights, Channa teamed up with Isura Ranatunga (brother), a passionate roboticist and engineer, and Sandeep Suresh (childhood friend), an expert in AI/ML product development. Together, they developed a computer vision solution, Rabot Pack, to provide visibility into warehouse packing operations.
How to pronounce "Rabot"
Rabot was born as a portmanteau of Ranatunga (the brothers' last name) and "robot" in 2018. We've since learned that "rabot" is a real French word which means "sanding plane", the carpenter's tool used to level or smooth down rough surfaces. We embrace this interpretation wholeheartedly and aspire to do our part in leveling access to cutting edge technology for the logistics and fulfillment industry.
Today, Rabot has cut operations budgets in half for some of the largest fulfillment centers in North America.
