Nine. That is the number of committed customer facility deployments Agility Robotics reported on 13 October, as the SEC declared effective the registration statement for its merger with the blank-cheque company Churchill Capital Corp XI.
Churchill’s shareholders, who were eligible to vote if they held shares on 14 September, meet on 2 November, with closing expected in November if they approve. Agility expects to trade on Nasdaq as AGLT. The company said the deal should bring in more than $620 million gross. About $424 million of that is the SPAC’s trust account, assuming no one redeems, and about $200 million is a stock placement led by Foxconn.
Agility named Schaeffler, GXO and Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada among its customers, the last under a robots-as-a-service agreement that followed a pilot. It said earlier Digit generations have logged more than 65,000 hours of operation.
The next robot is the larger claim. Digit 5 has more than $300 million in committed orders, which are subject to milestones and specifications, with early access targeted for early 2027.
Agility says it has a pipeline of more than 30 potential customers and wants up to 25 deployments by the end of 2027 and says its RoboFab plant is designed to build up to 10,000 robots a year.
Two things are left open. The trust figure falls if shareholders redeem, which the company itself warns could leave it short of cash, and the release gives no revenue number to set against all those targets.
