German supply-chain solutions provider Körber has partnered with Chinese autonomous mobile robot (AMR) developer Libiao Robotics to deliver robotics technologies to customers across Europe, Asia-Pacific and Latin America.
Using autonomous mobile sorting robots from Libiao Robotics – branded as ‘K.Move AutoSort Mobile – Powered by Libiao’ – Körber said it aims to expand its breadth of solutions covering the entire supply chain.
According to Körber, the new tabletop robots require only a small physical area and can be rapidly deployed, reconfigured and scaled up at microfulfilment centres and large-scale sortation depot.
Anton du Preez, responsible for AMR in Europe and Middle East at Körber Supply Chain, said: “With Libiao Robotics’ tabletop sortation AMRs, we are lowering the barrier to entry for automated sortation without sacrificing scalability.
“As volumes increase, additional robots can be cost-effectively added, and the solution can be easily reconfigured or relocated as the business changes.”
in the past five years, Libiao Robotics – headquartered in Hangzhou – has deployed more than 15,000 sorting robots globally, covering postal, supermarkets, shoes and clothing, medicine, catering, cold storage, jewellery, education, factory manufacturing, books and publishing industries.
