Exotec Skypod Workstation Review: Specs and Uses of the 600 Bins per Hour Picking Station
Updated: 7 days ago
The Exotec Skypod Workstation is where operators pick items from bins delivered by Skypod robots. The manufacturer does not publish a price. This review covers its specifications, features and uses.
Quick Verdict
Robots climb into the Workstation and present bins at up to 600 per hour, so operators pick single items without walking, lifting or pulling. The station adjusts in height by 20 cm, supports pick-and-pack into shipping containers, buffers destination containers, handles combo and semi-finished orders, and charges robots as they pass. The operator screen can be customized with pop-ups and buttons. Picking is manual; the page does not describe robotic picking.
