Sharjah24 – AFP: They wanted to do better than Amazon, and thanks to the pandemic, became the first French company to do so: Exotec builds shelf-climbing robots near Lille, to make warehouses more efficient and less cumbersome.
Commenting on this, Romain Moulin, co-founder and president of Exotec stated, "Exotec is a manufacturer of robotic systems for picking warehouses, so typically one of our customers is CDiscount. If you place an order with CDiscount, it used to be people in a warehouse trying to find the phone and the phone cover that you ordered, who could travel up to 15 km a day in huge warehouses."
Romain Moulin added, "Exotec's idea was to put a fleet of robots at the service of the operator, to say to the operator +stay out of the stock, a robot will go and get the items you need and bring them back+. This allows the operators to work faster, to have more ergonomic working positions. The particularity of Exotec remains the robot that we call a "skypod", so there you have the production line of these machines behind you. And this particular robot is able to climb onto racks up to 12 metres high in order to pick up items and take them down."
