Leingarten, August 2024 – International technology group Körber is entering into a partnership with German robotics manufacturer Carrybots. The goal of this collaboration is to strengthen both companies’ positions in intralogistics and promote mobile robots as a central part of highly integrated logistics solutions. Körber is now offering its customers Carrybots’ modular and cost-efficient transport robots as part of their flexible portfolio. A first joint project at a leading German automotive company is already in the initial phases.
Körber Business Area Supply Chain is not only a technological pioneer but also actively seeks innovative partners, strengthening an ecosystem that offers a variety of customizable, end-to-end supply chain solutions. These solutions are seamlessly integrated into the value chains of Körber's customers and partners, ensuring optimal efficiency and performance.
Customers around the world are facing a wave of novel challenges, including labour shortages, rapid growth, and increasing customer expectations. Mobile robot-based goods-to-person systems will play a key role in the solution to these challenges. For Körber, leveraging their leading position in the field, the Carrybots mobile robots will offer perfect added value in particular use cases: Order-handling conveyors can be replaced with much more flexible “Herbies”. This is the Carrybots mobile robot, which is modular, flexible, and cost-effective, providing a smooth and intuitive entry into the world of mobile robots.
With Carrybots, Körber has found a new partner that meets its high standards. Carrybots was founded in 2021, and is backed by industry heavyweights including Schubert, Flexlog, and Gebhardt. Körber will now integrate Carrybots robot solutions in its own portfolio. Whether moving small goods or pallets, Körber and Carrybots will collaborate to design the most effective system for each customer. With this partnership, Körber is further solidifying its position as a leading integrator of mobile robot systems.
