Applications of robotics in logistics
The applications of robotics in logistics include:
- automated warehousing
- Bring and fetch robots
- cleaning robot
- autonomous mobile robots (AMR)
Automated warehousing
Automated warehousing systems are the heart of modern logistics facilities. With their stacker cranes, they replace manual industrial trucks and ensure that goods always reach their destination efficiently and safely. These systems make goods handling even faster and more precise, significantly increasing productivity.
The goods-to-person method is also great. It speeds up order picking because the goods are brought directly to the employees. And the shuttle storage system supplies the workstations with the required goods. This further improves the efficiency and accuracy of the warehouse processes.
Loading and unloading of trucks
Automatic truck loading and unloading systems minimize human intervention and increase efficiency in the transport of goods. These systems enable fast and precise cargo handling, resulting in significant time savings and cost reductions.
Bring and fetch robots for applications
Our delivery and collection robots are like busy little helpers that make your work easier. They're happy to take on recurring transport tasks, such as replenishment of packaging materials or internal goods transfers.
You can use them flexibly in various areas of your warehouse, such as receiving, picking, and shipping. And the best part is, they can be adapted to your needs. Models like the Cadebot and the JunoBot can increase delivery speed within your facility and significantly reduce downtime.
Cleaning robots from Sebotics
Cleaning robots are simply indispensable so you can always rely on clean and safe storage and work areas. These little helpers reduce the risk of accidents through automated floor cleaning, especially when there are spills or dust. They relieve you of the burden of cleaning large or hard-to-reach areas and offer continuous cleaning performance through programmable operations, even outside of regular working hours.
Sebotics cleaning robots, such as the J40, the TN70 and the Zaco X1000, are adaptable to different cleaning needs and contribute to compliance with hygiene and safety standards in the warehouse and logistics environment, especially when using different products.

Internal transport with autonomous mobile robots (AMR)
Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) are revolutionizing internal transport in logistics centers. These robots can move independently within the warehouse and transport goods without human control. They are increasingly capable of precisely performing complex movements indoors, significantly increasing their efficiency in logistics processes.
The use of AMR in internal goods transport contributes to optimizing operational processes and reducing costs. This technology enables a flexible and scalable solution for a wide variety of transport tasks within the warehouse.
Picking and order preparation
Robotic arms play a crucial role in order picking and order picking. These programmable devices simulate or replace human skills and are ideal for handling heavy loads. Robotic arms offer an efficient order picking solution, especially in temperature-controlled warehouses.
Thanks to their precision and reliability, robotic arms improve the quality of picking processes and help meet customer requirements. This technology significantly increases the flexibility and efficiency of warehouse processes.
Autonomous distribution and delivery
Autonomous distribution and delivery of goods is another exciting area of robotics in logistics. The use of autonomous robots can shorten delivery times and reduce costs. These systems offer an efficient alternative to traditional delivery methods and contribute to the optimization of the entire supply chain.
Future technologies such as drones could significantly increase the efficiency of goods distribution. Drones have the potential to play a crucial role in deliveries in hard-to-reach areas and reduce traffic congestion in urban areas.
Integration of cobots into logistics
Cobots, or collaborative robots, are designed to interact with humans and complement their work, not replace it. Their adaptability allows cobots to be tailored to various logistics requirements, increasing the flexibility of warehouse processes.
The implementation of cobots at iForce improved employee satisfaction by reducing the physical strain of carrying heavy loads.
Safety protocols according to the international standard ISO/TS 15066 ensure that the interaction between cobots and human operators is safe. Thorough personnel training is crucial to ensuring effective human-robot interactions.
Challenges and solutions in implementation
Implementing robotics solutions in logistics presents various challenges. One of the biggest hurdles is the need to adapt or replace existing systems. This process can be time-consuming and require significant investment.
Despite these challenges, automation offers significant benefits, such as streamlining processes and increasing efficiency. Innovative technologies and the search for experts in areas like process automation are crucial for competitiveness. Employee training increases awareness of data protection and security practices to ensure smooth operations.
Trends and future prospects in robot logistics
When planning robotics solutions, it's important to consider long-term maintenance and operating costs. These costs are crucial to ensuring the long-term viability of the technologies. It would be great if future developments in robotics included innovative approaches to reducing costs for companies.
Trends such as the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning into robotic systems offer enormous potential for increasing efficiency and optimizing processes. These technologies enable us to make precise forecasts and adapt flexibly to changing market requirements.
Future prospects for the combination of robotics and artificial intelligence
The combination of robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) in logistics is truly an exciting development that will lead us into an exciting future. AI-controlled robots are true marvels of technology.
They can make decisions independently and adapt to new situations. This makes them true helpers that can further increase the efficiency and flexibility of logistics processes. Through machine learning, AI-controlled robots continuously learn and can perform their tasks ever better. They recognize complex patterns and react proactively to changes. This leads to optimized process control and reduced downtime.
We can therefore be excited to see how the combination of robotics and AI will develop in logistics in the coming years. Companies that invest in these technologies now can reap the many benefits and strengthen their market position. The future of logistics will therefore be shaped by intelligent and autonomous systems that usher in a new era of efficiency and innovation.
