Dematic has completed the installation and commissioning of a compact automation system featuring an AutoStore solution for Grupo Servicio Móvil, a Spanish third-party logistics provider specialising in healthcare.
The new system, designed to manage the storage and retrieval of medical supplies for one of Madrid’s largest hospitals, marks the latest milestone in the two companies’ long-standing partnership.

The project follows more than a decade of collaboration, dating back to 2012, when Grupo Servicio Móvil became the first company in Spain to install a Dematic Multishuttle system.
The new AutoStore solution, which spans 190m², aims at improving operational efficiency in a high-demand sector while addressing the space constraints of a premium location near the hospital.
The AutoStore system includes three CarouselPort workstations, seven R5 robots, and 5,005 bins, all managed by Dematic’s software.
Grupo Servicio Móvil chose the system for its energy efficiency and the ability to operate in “lights-out” mode.
The solution also addresses the logistical challenges of working in a high-cost urban area, as the compact AutoStore system allows for efficient use of space while reducing operational costs, particularly in energy.
Pablo Garcia, a senior director at Dematic and the country manager for Spain, said: “By selecting Dematic for this new installation, Grupo Servicio Móvil recognised our ability to provide advanced solutions for their specific needs.”
Diego Rey, director of purchasing and infrastructures for Grupo Servicio Móvil, added: “We continuously strive to improve operational efficiency, precision and most importantly, adapt to the specific needs of healthcare logistics.
“We need to ensure the highest level of reliability, which is why we decided to implement this new intralogistics solution with Dematic.
