Shanghai, China-based Quicktron Robotics, a global provider of warehouse robotics and intralogistics automation, will make the U.S. debut of its latest tote and pallet systems at MODEX 2026.

The company’s MODEX booth, with a theme of ‘QuickMix: One Platform, All Scenarios,’ will demonstrate how unified robotics and software can enable high-density, flexible, scalable automation across modern warehouse and manufacturing operations.

One platform to suit different needs

Quicktron said that it will showcase two core automation systems at MODEX 2026.

QuickBin Ultra high-density tote storage and fulfillment, and QuickCube flexible pallet automation for warehouse and factory operations, were designed to address a wide range of warehouse and manufacturing applications.  

When combined with Quicktron’s execution and robot control software, they form the QuickMix hybrid automation architecture, which the company said provides companies with a complete modular system to address growing industry challenges, such as: 

• Labor shortages
• Rising fulfillment volumes
• Rising regionalization and urbanization of warehouse operations
• Increasing service expectations from customers.

Quicktron said that its systems also improve throughput, optimize storage density and support long-term operational scalability.

“As automation adoption accelerates, companies are prioritizing solution maturity, scalability and proven experience,” said Yang Wei, CEO of Quicktron Robotics. “Many global manufacturers and logistics operators now operate facilities across multiple continents and seek automation platforms that can be deployed consistently across regions.”

Warehouse automation changes

Warehouses today must often handle a mix of pallet storage, case handling, and piece picking within the same footprint.

Quicktron said that the U.S. is witnessing a shift to integrated automation, with warehouse operators increasingly moving away from isolated automation systems toward technologies capable of supporting multiple workflows and facility-wide automation infrastructure.

Quicktron said that its QuickMix platform enables the coordinated operation of multiple robot types, including tote-handling robots, pallet movers and shelf-handling robots under a unified control platform. Powered by Quicktron’s proprietary Robot Control System (RCS), the company said that QuickMix allows operators to manage diverse workflows through a single interface, creating a coordinated operation across diverse robot types and material handling equipment.

Quicktron’s systems have been deployed globally across industries, including e-commerce, manufacturing, electronics, pharmaceuticals and third-party logistics organizations, such as:

• Murata Manufacturing
• Mercado Libre
• Coupang
• 7-Eleven

As of 2025, Quicktron said that it has deployed more than 42,000 robots worldwide, serving over 1,000 customers across more than 20 countries and regions.

“Solutions that offer standardized hardware platforms, unified software architecture and global support capabilities are becoming increasingly attractive to US-based operators,” Wei said. “With growing demand for high-density, flexible and scalable automation, Quicktron is focused on supporting customers seeking to modernize warehouse operations and improve long-term efficiency.”

Expanding automation from tote to pallet workflows

Quicktron said that QuickBin Ultra integrates the A5 bin-picking robot, capable of up to 200 picks per hour, with the M5E tote-moving robot, which travels at speeds of up to 4.5 m/s and can transport two totes simultaneously.

The company said that this combination enables outbound throughput of up to 600 totes per hour per workstation, supporting high-volume fulfillment environments. With vertical lift speeds reaching 3.0 m/s, the system delivers high-density, multi-depth storage while maintaining fast and flexible tote-to-person workflows. Its modular design also allows operators to scale capacity and adapt to evolving business requirements.

At MODEX, Quicktron will also present its QuickCube pallet automation system, featuring the compact C150 four-way shuttle, capable of speeds up to 2.0 m/s, integrated with the E200 narrow-profile lift.

Quicktron said that this offering enables flexible material handling across multiple levels and supports a wide range of applications, from high-density pallet storage to integrated workflows combining shuttle systems and AMRs. The company said that QuickCube provides flexibility for both distribution centers and manufacturing facilities.
