Discover the Future of Your Automated Supply Chain
Don't Let Today's Challenges Become Tomorrow's Bottlenecks
The gap between adaptable and outdated supply chains is widening - fast. Operations built for yesterday struggle with rising volumes, volatile demand, and the pressure to scale. The winners are those investing now in flexibility. Goods-to-Person automation powered by shuttles and mobile robots, gives you exactly that: a future-ready operation that keeps pace with change, today and tomorrow.
Turn logistics into your competitive advantage
Modern supply chains don’t compete on cost alone - they compete on adaptability. Leading businesses treat logistics as a strategic asset, not just a necessity. They build resilience into every process, gain the agility to respond to demand shifts, and create a foundation for sustainable growth.

Why Strategy Comes First
In an environment defined by volatile demand, increasing customer expectations, workforce shortages, and continuous cost pressure, many companies are rethinking the future of their distribution networks. At the same time, the fast development of warehouse automation - from mobile robots to advanced shuttle solutions - creates pressure to move quickly. Yet sustainable competitive advantage does not come from choosing the “right” robot or storage technology alone. The foundation is laid much earlier. It starts with strategy.
A clear supply chain strategy serves as the guiding framework. It defines how a distribution network should be structured, and that structure ultimately determines which intralogistics technologies can truly support resilience, scalability, and cost efficiency. When decisions are driven by business objectives, growth plans, and operational priorities, automation becomes more than a technology investment - it becomes a strategic enabler of long-term performance.
Core Technologies of a Goods-to-Person System
There’s no single “best” automation solution - only the one that fits your operation, volumes, and growth path. Goods-to-Person systems typically follow two strategic approaches:
Shuttle-Based Automation
Maximum performance for stable, high-volume environments
Fixed automation systems - such as shuttle-based solutions - deliver exceptional throughput, storage density, and long-term efficiency. They are ideal for operations with predictable growth and consistently high demand.
Solution Highlight: FlashPick
When fixed automation makes sense
- High and stable order volumes
- Tight service level requirements
- Maximum density within a defined footprint
- Focus on long-term consistency and lifecycle efficiency
Mobile Automation
Maximum adaptability for dynamic operations
Mobile, robot-based automation enables supply chains to scale flexibly as business needs evolve. Capacity can grow step by step while minimizing upfront investment and operational risk.
Solution Highlight: LivePick
When mobile automation is the better fit
- Phased capacity ramp-up (“start small, scale fast”)
- Brownfield environments or layout constraints
- Rapid response to changing demand or channel mix
- Evolving business models
