Equipment Depot is growing its EQSOLUTIONS division capabilities by partnering with Movu Robotics, to provide robotic technology.

"As Equipment Depot advances its overall product and service offerings, the collaboration with Movu's innovative plug-and-play automation technologies is a perfect fit," says Marc Terwilliger, VP of EQSOLUTIONS. "Together, we are setting new standards in warehouse efficiency by providing a competitive edge to businesses looking to leverage integrated warehouse solutions and modern innovation."

Robots and autonomous vehicles, such as autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), streamline tasks like picking and transportation within warehouses, increasing operational agility. Gartner Inc. predicts that by 2028, 75% of large enterprises will adopt some form of intralogistics smart robots - robots that orchestrate and perform work within the four walls of a site and can be mobile or stationary, operating autonomously or collaboratively with humans or other robots.

Movu, meanwhile, also sees value in the new partnership. "Our solutions are designed to make warehouse automation and robotics not only more accessible but also more scalable. Teaming up with Equipment Depot allows us to amplify our impact and deliver accessible plug-and-play robotics solutions with an expert end-to-end full-service integration," according to Stefan Pieters, CEO of Movu Robotics. 

As EQSOLUTIONS draws from its systems integration knowledge and Equipment Depot's materials handling experience, the division helps design solutions that improve throughput, enhance efficiency, and reduce costs. "Our strong partner relationships provide priority-level attention for all warehouse projects," Terwilliger adds. 

Movu Robotics, headquartered in Lokeren, Belgium, boasts a state-of-the-art experience centre - one of the biggest in Europe - where the latest technologies are showcased live to customers and partners.
