MODEX 2026: Cutting-edge warehouse robots, AMRs & more

Exotec is showcasing its Skypod System, which received a design refresh in 2025 in response to market demands and customer feedback. The platform consolidates multiple warehouse processes into one cohesive system, delivering efficiency while reducing operational complexity. Skypod’s modular, plug-and-play design can adapt effortlessly as business needs evolve, unlocking endless creativity for solution design. The platform features compact Skypod robots working seamlessly with ergonomic workstations and high-throughput exchange. All components of the solution are connected via the Deepsky WES, which enables integrated buffering, perfect sequencing and optimized pick-and-pack. Unlike traditional systems requiring extensive external equipment and complex subsystems, Exotec said that the Skypod natively supports value-added logistics features that simplify goods flow throughout the facility. The Skypod delivers simplified warehouse operations that meet increasingly demanding customer expectations while reimagining what's possible in warehouse automation. Exotec, exotec.com, Booth B14302
