Deployment

Fetch AMR line at Kampen

Name: Fetch AMR line at Kampen
Start: 2017-07-11T00:00:00.000Z
Location: Kampen

The Zebra/Fetch AMR line comprises the autonomous material-handling robots (RollerTop, CartConnect, FlexShelf, HMIShelf) that Zebra Technologies (NASDAQ: ZBRA) acquired with Fetch Robotics in 2021 for about $290 million and later branded as Zebra Symmetry Fulfillment, running on the FetchCore fleet platform. The registry records it at commercial maturity historically but with lifecycleState=discontinued: on December 9 2025 Zebra filed an SEC 8-K disclosing a decision to dispose of or exit the robotics automation business, taking roughly $80 million in charges, with most staff departing by end-2025 and about a quarter retained to March 2026 to manage existing deployments. The stated reason was that the AMR business was not scaling fast enough. Per the active/retired split, the Model reflects the current (wound-down) direction while historical deployments retain their commercial state.
