Hardesty Announces Strategic Alliance with Retina Robotics

Hardesty Technologies and Retina Robotics Announce Strategic Alliance

HOSCHTON, GA— July 2026 — Hardesty Technologies is proud to announce a strategic alliance with Retina Robotics, the innovator behind the Warehouse AutomationModule (WAM) — a forklift-mounted, computer-vision inventory solution that tracks warehouse inventory automatically, with no labels, no scan guns, and no dedicated cycle-count labor.

The End of Manual Cycle Counting

For decades, warehouse inventory accuracy has depended on the same playbook: barcode labels,handheld scanners, and hours of manual cycle counting. It works — but it hasn’t fundamentally changed in years.

The WAM flips that model. Mounted directly on the forklifts your team already drives, WAM units use computer vision and AI to see, identify, and record every pallet movement as it happens. Your normal workflow becomes your inventory audit.

The resultsspeak for themselves:

•    2x faster picks and putaways — no stopping to scan

•    >99.99% inventory accuracy — continuous, passive validation on every move

•    Payback in month one — automation ROI measured in weeks, not years

No infrastructure overhaul. No process retraining. Your drivers drive; the WAM does the rest.

Why This Partnership

“While our competition may see Retina as a threat to their core business of mobile computing and barcode scanning, we at Hardesty Technologies see it as an opportunity to revolutionize an industry that hasn’t meaningfully changed in nearly a decade,” said Cliff Hardesty, President of Hardesty Technologies.“Our customers don’t want incremental improvements to yesterday’s technology.They want what’s next — and this is it.”

Maanav Iyengar, CEO of Retina Robotics, shared why Hardesty was the right partner:“Their nationwide field expertise, customer-first approach, and deep understanding of real warehouse operations made this partnership a natural fit.”
