Warehouse solutions
Skypod ® helps operators prepare orders by transporting items stored in totes or trays between our racks and picking stations. These autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), or automated warehouse robots, are programmed to prioritize the most urgent orders received through our software, ensuring the fastest and most efficient order fulfillment.
Skypods operate in a closed and human-free environment. This reduces the risk of pedestrian traffic in the warehouse and drastically improves on-site efficiency. As your operations change, our Skypod robots can be added or removed from your system in minutes to support throughput needs without disruption.
Warehouse shelves
Our shelving is designed to maximize the storage space available in your warehouse, offering optimal storage solutions.
Their modular design allows them to be configured to meet a wide range of warehouse sizes. With a maximum height of 12 meters (39 feet), the racks provide up to five times greater storage density than non-automated warehouse solutions.
Containers
The modular design of the racks also allows for rapid deployment. This is a huge advantage when you consider the time it would take to implement traditional automation, or when you consider the expansion schedules of an existing Skypod ® system. In fact, additional racks can be added to the system with minimal disruption to operations.
In addition, our racks meet FM Global regulations regarding automatic sprinklers.
Our storage bins are designed to hold a variety of storage units. These recycled plastic bins are available in a variety of heights and can be divided into multiple compartments to further increase storage density.
Depending on the size of the stored items, containers are available in three heights:
+ 220mm (8.6")
+ 320mm (12.6")
+ 420mm (16.5")
The containers can be divided into 2, 3, 4, 6 or 8 compartments using removable plastic dividers.
This warehouse organization technique allows items that are frequently ordered from the same location to be placed in the same container, further increasing overall efficiency.

Trays
To maximize your existing infrastructure, we have designed trays that support many existing case sizes and fulfillment containers.
These trays eliminate the need to pour into Exotec® containers where possible and are suitable for cartons up to 600 x 400 x 400 mm (23.5 x 15.5 x 15.5 in).
Frequently Asked Questions
Our racks can reach up to 39 feet (12 meters) with a minimum clearance of just 0.5 meters between the top of our racks and the ceiling. This design allows for the utilization of all vertical space in the vast majority of warehouses throughout North America. The height adjustment capabilities of our racks ensure that they can be adapted to a wide range of warehouse configurations, maximizing the efficiency and effectiveness of your warehouse solutions.
Skypod storage bins are designed to accommodate a wide range of products, making them suitable for a variety of industries, including retail, healthcare, industrial and food. Our bins are available in three heights and offer flexible partitioning options to accommodate a variety of product sizes. If an item fits into our bins or a housing fits into our trays, our system is fully equipped to handle it.
Baskets: Our baskets measure 450 x 650 mm (17.5 x 25.5 in). They are available in three different heights – 220, 320 and 420 mm (8.6 x 12.6 x 16.5 in). To increase storage density, these baskets can be divided into 2, 3, 4, 6 or 8 compartments using removable dividers.
Trays: Our trays facilitate fast and automated loading and unloading of cartons from the warehouse, eliminating the need for decanting. These trays are suitable for cartons up to 600 x 400 x 400 mm (23.5 x 15.5 x 15.5 in).
In addition, our trays facilitate fast and automated loading and unloading of cases from the warehouse, eliminating the need for decanting. These trays are suitable for cases up to 600 x 400 x 400 mm (23.5 x 15.5 x 15.5 in). Full and mixed case picking is possible from our trays.
Yes, this unique Skypod feature supports a wide range of order profiles, enables multi-channel order fulfillment, and maximizes the efficiency of your order fulfillment processes.
No. The Exotec racking installation is designed to have minimal disruption to the existing warehouse structure. There is no need to remove existing pillars as the system can be configured around them.

Expanding the storage capacity of an existing Exotec system is a streamlined and efficient process. The procedure includes:
Assessment: First, we conduct a detailed assessment of your warehouse’s current configuration and operational needs to determine the most effective approach to expansion.
Decoupled expansion: A key aspect of our system is decoupling bandwidth from storage. This means you can expand your storage capacity without having to increase your bandwidth capabilities, allowing for more cost-effective, needs-based capital expenditures.
Rapid Implementation: Adding warehouse racking to your existing system can be completed in just a few weeks. We focus on ensuring that the additional storage integrates seamlessly with your current setup, increasing the overall functionality and efficiency of your warehouse solutions.
This approach ensures rapid expansion of storage capacity and adapts it to specific operational requirements and budget.
