Scallog Boby Robot Review: Specs and Uses of the 600 kg Shelf-Lifting Robot
Updated: 7 days ago
Scallog Boby is a mobile robot that drives under storage shelves and brings them to picking stations. The manufacturer does not publish a price. This review covers its specifications, features and uses.
Quick Verdict
Boby slides under mobile shelves, lifts loads up to 600 kg and carries them to operators, removing the walking that takes 50 to 70% of a picker's time, according to Scallog. It travels at 1.5 m/s empty and 1.2 m/s loaded, follows a 160 mm optical guide strip that is laid rather than fixed to the floor, and runs about 14 hours before a 2.5-hour recharge. It returns to its charger automatically and is directed over Wi-Fi by SCALLOG-MAS software. Scallog cites up to 600 picks per hour per picker and installation in two to three weeks.
