Exotec’s retail order picking solution
Exotec’s retail order picking solution delivers outstanding performance and is flexibly adaptable to customer needs. The system is scaled based on the available space and storage requirements. During peak warehouse periods, the demand for increased capacity rises – in such cases, adding new robots to the system is sufficient, making this solution exceptionally adaptable to the changing specifications of a warehouse or logistics center. Additionally, future expansions can be planned gradually and easily.
The Skypods operate as a fleet, assisting workers in faster order fulfillment. The robots continuously receive tasks and instructions, which they can prioritize according to their programming.
The racks adjust to the warehouse layout, enabling maximum space utilization. With racks that can be built up to 12 meters high and vertically moving robots, storage capacity is maximized in three dimensions, achieving up to five times the density of traditional shelving-based order picking.
The Exotec Skypod® System is an elegant, automated storage and retrieval solution (AS/RS) that leverages robotics to deliver one of the best performances on the market while fully adapting to customer needs. It continuously responds to changing supply chain demands and can be deployed in months, rather than years.
The system allows for goods to be stored in a three-dimensional manner, up to a height of 12 meters. Autonomous robots efficiently and precisely carry out order picking and storage tasks, increasing warehouse space efficiency while reducing costs.
The Skypod® system can be tailored to businesses of any size. Autonomous robots can be seamlessly added to existing infrastructure, enabling continuous growth aligned with business needs. It is quickly deployable and minimizes downtime.
The robots move at speeds of up to 4 m/s while carrying loads of up to 30 kg. This remarkable performance ensures fast product turnover and efficient order fulfillment..
The system operates with low energy consumption, contributing to the warehouse’s sustainability goals. Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries provide long life and low maintenance costs while reducing the ecological footprint.
The Exotec Skypod® System introduces a new level of innovation in the automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS) market. With high-density storage racks and ergonomically designed picking stations, its robots, moving in three dimensions, are an ideal replacement for cumbersome and complex traditional systems.
The system maximizes the vertical space of warehouses, handling storage racks up to 12 meters high. This allows businesses to optimize available space while its modular design enables quick and flexible expansion. New Skypods can be integrated within minutes, workstations can be added in just a few days, and shelf expansions can be completed in a matter of weeks—minimizing downtime.
This solution also stands out with its seamless omnichannel management capabilities, handling store replenishment, wholesale, and e-commerce order fulfillment within a single system. Thanks to its flexibility, it easily adapts to changes in business models—whether adding an e-commerce channel, modifying the product range, or transitioning from B2B to B2C operations. These advantages together make the Skypod® system an exceptionally agile and efficient solution, providing a significant competitive edge over traditional AS/RS systems.
