AI and Autonomous Systems

Our vision is to create a future-proof industry in which mobile robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) play a central role. Intralogistics and production facilities will become highly networked and automated environments in which humans, static robots and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) work together seamlessly to efficiently move materials and products. Among other things, we are equipping AMRs with advanced AI technologies to increase adaptability or environmental friendliness, but we also want to improve working conditions by taking on physically demanding or repetitive tasks, to reduce the physical and mental stress for workers. 

We believe that we need technical systems in logistics that can quickly adapt to changing social and economic needs. In addition, we strive to optimize environmental friendliness, particularly with regard to resource management, in order to reduce the ecological footprint. After all, intralogistics is becoming a decisive factor for the success of companies in an increasingly digitalized and networked world.
