Exotec Deepsky Review: Features and Uses of the Skypod Orchestration Software
Updated: 7 days ago
Exotec Deepsky is the software layer that runs a Skypod warehouse and connects it to the WMS. The manufacturer does not publish a price. This review covers its specifications, features and uses.
Quick Verdict
Deepsky acts as a single orchestration layer, so operators do not manage separate vendor control systems. It uses real-time data to release orders, replenishment and picking flows across Skypod and third-party equipment, tracks every bin, case and container, and shows live KPIs on personalised dashboards. Exotec monitors systems 24/7/365 from control centres in North America, Europe and APAC and says it resolves 90% of issues remotely. Software updates continue after go-live. The page names no modules and gives no uptime percentage.
