French warehouse robotics provider Exotec’s fleet of Skypod robots has achieved the operational milestone of completing more than one million container presentations daily on a global basis.

“Each presentation represents a robot retrieving a container and delivering it to a designated workstation,” Exotec explains. “Each container can fulfil up to four orders, significantly reducing the time and effort it takes for warehouse workers to keep up with customer demand.”

Exotec says the average worker in a manual warehouse is estimated to walk 16km each working day. Eliminating this through automation, Exotec says, offers a “five-fold increase in pricking productivity”.

Romain Moulin, CEO and co-founder of Exotec, says of the achievement: “Achieving one million presentations daily is a huge milestone because it represents the level of trust that our customers place in us to support and drive their supply chain operations day-to-day”.
