Case Study: Third Wave Automation reduces debugging time with Foxglove

How Third Wave Automation scales their autonomous warehouse fleet using Foxglove

Third Wave Automation, a company that enhances forklifts with AI-driven autonomy for warehouse logistics, faced significant bottlenecks in scaling their autonomous fleet. Their manual debugging process was inefficient, requiring engineers to painstakingly piece together data from multiple sources and custom scripts, which slowed down development and collaboration. This challenge led them to seek a solution from Foxglove.

By implementing Foxglove's observability platform, the vendor provided structured tools like the State Transitions, Plot, and 3D panels for log analysis. This solution reduced debugging times from hours to minutes and saved days on development cycles. Foxglove enabled efficient, collaborative issue resolution and gave engineers deeper insight into perception data, ultimately increasing fleet reliability and accelerating innovation for Third Wave Automation.
