Automation and robotics platform for omnichannel distribution operations
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.
FORTNA partners with major brands to redesign and automate omnichannel distribution and parcel fulfillment operations. The company delivers end-to-end solutions: network strategy consulting, distribution center design, material handling equipment (conveyors, sortation systems, robotics), and PLC/HMI control systems. Customers operate at scale (fast, accurate, cost-effective order fulfillment across multiple facilities). FORTNA's value proposition centers on optimizing material flow, reducing operational friction, and keeping pace with e-commerce growth. The company maintains a global delivery footprint with engineering and manufacturing presence across the US, Mexico, Vietnam, Central Europe, and Italy.
Primarily Siemens (PLC, TIA Portal, FactoryTalk), Rockwell Automation (ControlLogix, CompactLogix), Beckhoff PLC, and Schneider Electric. HMI delivered via Ignition, Wonderware, and FactoryTalk Optix. SCADA is standard across deployments.
Yes. Engineering roles (57 open) comprise 63% of active headcount. Mid-level positions dominate; senior and lead roles also active. Hiring across US, Mexico, Vietnam, Czech Republic, Netherlands, and Italy.
Active projects include automated sortation system commissioning, conveyor automation, HMI/SCADA deployment standardization (Ignition templates), and equipment reliability improvements. Focus is on controls, site deployment, and shop floor optimization.
