Agile automation

The Mono Gantry + AMR solution

If your operations require maximum layout versatility, Körber integrates the high-capacity Layer Picker Mono Gantry with Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs). This solution replaces fixed conveyor infrastructure with intelligent, scalable transport. 

AMRs dynamically deliver source pallets and remove completed order pallets, creating a compact footprint that fits easily into your existing foot print. This ‘free-range’ approach allows you to scale transport capacity independently of picking speed, ensuring your operation remains adaptable to future changes in volume or workflow.

Proven innovation

Building mixed pallets through Pallet-to-pallet layer picking

Retailers and distribution centers face increasing pressure to deliver mixed-SKU pallets quickly and accurately. Manual processes often struggle to keep pace with volume surges. Körber’s Pallet-to-Pallet automation addresses this by combining speed with precision. 

Our portfolio includes both high-speed gantries for heavy loads and flexible robots for compact layouts. This allows you to automate the complex task of sequencing store-ready pallets with a solution that fits your exact operational needs. By removing the physical strain of manual lifting, you ensure a safer workplace while meeting rigorous delivery standards. 

“Ultimately, we can do more with less people, and still maintain the quality and flexibility.”
