Unitechnik integrates Skypod system from EXOTEC

With the partnership with the French technology company, the general contractor is adding an innovative storage and picking solution for small parts to its portfolio - the Skypod system. Interested customers can find out more about the intralogistics solution's wide range of applications at LogiMAT 2024 at stand H20 in hall 1.

With the Skypod system, Exotec has developed an innovative storage and picking solution for small parts. Several mobile Skypod storage robots move freely around an area and climb up to 12 meters high on the shelves. There they pick up containers or trays and transport them autonomously to the picking stations. As the warehouse robots manoeuvre in a fenced-in area, they can reach speeds of up to four meters per second. They are also the only mobile components in the entire storage area; the rest of the system is made of steel and plastic. Overall, the flexibly designed goods-to-person system offers a wide range of possible applications, which Unitechnik will be able to use in various logistics systems in combination with the UniWare warehouse management system in the future.

EXOTEC solution complements Unitechnik portfolio
When implementing a logistics system, technologies from different suppliers are usually used. As a general contractor, Unitechnik supports its customers in selecting the optimum components for the respective process. The Wiehl-based company can draw on a broad portfolio of technologies from proven partners - including the Skypod system from Exotec in the future.

At LogiMAT at Stand H20 in Hall 1, Unitechnik will be demonstrating how the storage and picking solution for small parts can be intelligently integrated into the material flow.
