en.Wedoany.com Reported - German logistics service provider Arvato has recently entered into a strategic partnership with technology company Unchained Robotics, aiming to accelerate the development and deployment of modular, vendor-independent robotic solutions to enhance the automation of logistics and fulfillment processes. As part of this collaboration, Arvato has acquired a minority stake in the German company.

Arvato views robotics as a key component of its overall automation expansion and plans to deploy hundreds of robots in various logistics environments over the coming years. This partnership will serve as an accelerator to develop new solutions for specific use cases, test them under real operational conditions, and prepare for large-scale deployment.
The collaboration focuses on technical and geographical scalability from the outset. In addition to logistics sites in Europe, this close partnership provides opportunities for rapid expansion into international markets, particularly the United States. The high demand for automation in the US, combined with its dynamic logistics and e-commerce structure, creates a strong need for flexible, practical robotic solutions.
For customers, this integration means achieving automation on an industrial scale without sacrificing flexibility. The deployment of hundreds of robots will accumulate experience, establish standards, and improve implementation reliability. Customers can benefit from shorter implementation times, reduced risks, and faster value realization.
Frank Schirrmeister, CEO of Arvato, stated: "Automation today must quickly generate impact. Through our partnership with Unchained Robotics, we are accelerating the deployment of robotics in operational logistics. We develop solutions from practice, for practice, and use robotics as an accelerator for scalable implementation."
Mladen Milicevic, Founder of Unchained Robotics, said: "Arvato gives us access to highly complex international logistics setups where we can further develop our solutions in real operations. Through close collaboration with operational teams, we enhance warehouse efficiency and bring robotic solutions to market readiness faster. At the same time, this partnership enables us to scale our modular solutions globally—from Europe to the US."
Through this partnership, Arvato underscores its ambition to drive innovation in the execution of global supply chain strategies, positioning robotics as a key enabler for enhancing speed, scalability, and sustainable operational excellence.
