Robotic in-store grocery dispensing

Real-time grocery pickup.

Hungerful is building a patent-pending, gravity-fed storage system that holds groceries in tubes and dispenses them one item at a time. You order on your phone, your computer, or an in-store iPad, and the system picks the order for you.

Technology

Cutting-edge storage technology, powered by gravity.

At the heart of Hungerful is a patent-pending storage and dispensing system. Groceries are stored in metal tubes with a slick inner lining. Gravity moves each item down the tube, and the system releases them one at a time.

State-of-the-art single-item picking

Each product line lives in its own tube, so the system picks exactly the items in your order, one unit at a time. There are no bins to dig through.

A breakthrough in simplicity

Gravity does most of the work of moving inventory. The design uses few moving parts, which means fewer things that can wear out or jam.

Metal tubes, slick lining

Durable metal tubes with a low-friction lining let items slide down smoothly and line up in order, ready to dispense.

Built to grow beyond the store

The same tube-based approach could extend to automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS) and fulfillment centers.
