FORTNA Tech Stack

Automation and robotics platform for omnichannel distribution operations

Transportation, Logistics, Supply Chain and Storage Atlanta, Georgia 1,001–5,000 employees Privately Held

FORTNA designs and deploys material handling automation, robotics, and control systems for large-scale distribution networks. The tech stack is heavily weighted toward industrial control (Siemens, Rockwell, Beckhoff PLCs; Ignition HMI; SCADA) with proprietary algorithms for network and facility optimization. Engineering dominates the hiring mix, and active projects center on sortation automation, conveyor commissioning, and HMI standardization — reflecting a capital-intensive, project-delivery business model where each customer deployment requires custom control logic and on-site commissioning.
