Exotec

Exotec® is a global provider of robotics-based automation solutions for intralogistics. The company develops, implements, and operates scalable end-to-end systems for storage, order picking, and material-flow management based on its own hardware, software, and control technology. With more than 200 customer projects completed worldwide across Europe, North America, and Asia, Exotec supports leading companies in e-commerce, retail, grocery, manufacturing, and 3PL - such as Decathlon, Bestseller, Uniqlo, and Gap - in future-proofing their warehouse operations.

The core product of this full-service warehouse logistics provider is the Skypod® system - a fully robotic goods-to-person picking solution that unifies all key warehouse functions in a single system: storage, buffering, sequencing, and picking. The fully modular solution is based on autonomous storage robots that travel horizontally at up to 4 m/s, climb up to 14 meters vertically, and navigate beneath racks. This enables up to 30% more storage density and 50% higher picking efficiency on the same footprint. The system supports both each- and full-case picking as well as sorting by shipping and delivery logic - without additional conveyor technology or consolidation zones. Thanks to the all-in-one architecture, typical single points of failure are eliminated. Seamless integration into existing system landscapes is ensured by Exotec’s proprietary software “Deepsky,” which orchestrates all warehouse processes as a Warehouse Execution System (WES). Standardized modules such as the “Exchanger” allow real-time integration of upstream processes like goods receiving and downstream processes like packing and shipping.

Exotec systems are suitable for both greenfield and brownfield projects. They can be expanded without interrupting operations by simply adding robots, racks, or stations. For companies, this means greater process stability, lower investment risks, and shorter time-to-operation.
