The story of Exotec starts in 2014. On a bus ride to work, Romain and Renaud had a long conversation and a mutual passion for engineering and robotics sparked their interest in evolving the Goods-to-Person (GTP) process. After many more conversations, they decided to add a 3rd dimension to it and a new disruptive, Robotic Goods-to-Person picking system was born, the Skypod.
What is a Robotic GTP System | LAC Logistics Automation
Exotec Skypod’s robotic GTP system addresses the needs of a new generation of customers who are looking for high-performance and high-density systems. Read on!
Why is this System Disrupting E-Commerce Logistics?
The Skypod System is making an impact for three reasons:
- The ability of the ‘3D mobile robots’ to scale shelves as well as roll around at ground level.
- Speed; scuttling about at 9 mph, the robots can quickly transfer goods in the warehouse to human operators who handle packing and shipping.
- According to Exotec, the robots’ laser scanner navigation system allows them to travel anywhere in the storage area while operating with a max payload of 30kg.
The key to this system is in the offering of a flexible, scalable system, best positioned to disrupt e-commerce logistics. To respond to today’s market requirements, companies are putting emphasis on deployment speed and flexible deployment capability rather than heavy fixed infrastructure to best respond to rapid fluctuations in demand.
What are the Benefits of Robotic GTP Picking Systems?
The Skypod robotic GTP system addresses the needs of a new generation of customers who are looking for high–performance and high-density systems that can be modified every two years.
From inception, the system has been designed to ensure fast deployment and full scalability. Skypod’s free navigation allows the robots to travel anywhere within the system, something the competition cannot offer today. The GTP system’s software is powered by the latest artificial intelligence, allowing deployment on site within days instead of weeks.
