The challenge

What operators are up against

Operators responsible for warehouse and distribution-center inventory, bins, racks, Skypod robots, workstations, conveyors, orders, operators and fulfillment systems cannot continuously inspect every operating condition or developing fault. Periodic checks leave gaps between readings, while isolated local indicators provide limited history and context. A late response can cause downtime, safety exposure, equipment damage, or incomplete compliance evidence. Teams need timely measurements, clear exceptions, and a defined operating response.

The solution

How Exotec Automated Warehouse Storage and Order Fulfillment addresses it

Exotec Automated Warehouse Storage and Order Fulfillment combines connected field data with application software. Skypod robots and stations track bin location, inventory requests, robot state, storage availability, picking tasks and order progress. Deepsky warehouse execution software orchestrates robotic storage and retrieval, goods-to-person presentation, order sequencing. Warehouse teams replenish inventory, pick and consolidate orders, resolve exceptions, coordinate inbound-to-outbound flow and scale throughput.

How it works

Teams configure the monitored assets, users, and operating rules. Skypod robots and stations track bin location, inventory requests, robot state, storage availability, picking tasks and order progress. Robots, stations, partner equipment, Deepsky WES and customer WMS exchange tasks and status through the configured warehouse network and integrations. Deepsky warehouse execution software orchestrates robotic storage and retrieval, goods-to-person presentation, order sequencing. Warehouse teams replenish inventory, pick and consolidate orders, resolve exceptions, coordinate inbound-to-outbound flow and scale throughput.
