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

Porter is Ocado Intelligent Automation’s newest AMR designed specifically for large-payload workflows that have traditionally relied on manual forklifts and high labor effort. Porter is purpose-built to automate pallet and cage handling tasks including cross-docking, putaway, inventory moves, case picking and piece picking. With its 1,500 kg (3,300 lb) payload capacity, compatibility with all pallet types and the ability to lift directly from the floor - even in back-to-back pallet fields - Porter brings a new level of flexibility to facilities with constrained layouts or mixed inventory profiles. Its compact, no-counterbalance design enables a tight turning radius that allows it to move confidently through narrow aisles without requiring new racking or infrastructure. Porter's integration into Ocado’s AI-powered, system-directed fulfillment execution software, which orchestrates Porter, Chuck AMRs and handheld devices in real time gives operators measurable orchestration benefits.
