Exotec Skypod Robot Review Summary
Skypod robots move in three dimensions: they drive across the floor at up to 4 m/s, then climb directly up the racks to as high as 14 m to fetch a bin. Each carries up to 30 kg in Exotec bins, trays or custom containers, and can drive under racks in any direction. Because the robots are not tied to fixed infrastructure, operators can add robots or storage without stopping the system, and Exotec offers robot rental for peak seasons with maintenance and 24/7 support included. Exotec says any order can be retrieved in under two minutes.
Pros
Climbs to 14 m
Fast 4 m/s
Scales without downtime
Peak rental option
Cons
30 kg limit
Who It Is For
It fits retailers and 3PLs needing dense, fast goods-to-person storage that can grow with demand.
