Körber Group invests in robotics start-up Magazino
The start-up company's portfolio comprises various robot systems that are used for specific projects. The central development of the Munich specialists is the "TORU" order picking robot. Until now, it was usually only possible to automatically retrieve entire load carriers such as pallets or crates, but "TORU" allows for precise access to individual objects. Thanks to this technology, 2D and 3D cameras can be used to locate and identify individual objects on the shelf, grab them securely and then place them precisely where they are needed. This makes the picking process "Pick-by-Robot" possible for the first time. The intelligent robot works in parallel with the people and delivers the required parts at the right time directly to the assembly line or shipping station.
"The Magazino team has developed real innovations with its robotics solutions that have the potential to make a lasting impact on intralogistics," says Michael Horn, Member of the Executive Board of Körber AG. "The partnership offers decisive added value, in particular for customers of our Business Area Logistics Systems. At the same time, our investment strengthens our position in a competitive market environment. In addition, as part of our digitization initiatives, we will work with the Magazino team to drive forward future-oriented developments."
“We are very pleased about the participation of Körber AG and look forward to working with the Group and its Business Areas," emphasizes Frederik Brantner, co-founder and CEO of Magazino GmbH. We are particularly looking forward to exchanging ideas with the teams of the Business Area Logistics Systems. We will benefit from the experience of our new partner at all levels and thus sustainably continue our growth course."
