en.Wedoany.com Reported - International logistics company DSV has partnered with warehouse robotics manufacturer Exotec, which has deployed an end-to-end Skypod system at DSV's logistics center in Venlo.
The system consists of approximately 100 Exotec Skypod robots, managing around 90,000 bins and pallets to support fulfillment operations for multiple retail brands. The system also includes a mezzanine dedicated to returns processing and integrates automated carton opening, sealing, and labeling functions.
This project is part of DSV's efforts to modernize its warehouse operations, aiming to optimize its supply chain in the Netherlands. The system adopts a "goods-to-person" approach, improving operational efficiency and enhancing warehouse flexibility and scalability. DSV can quickly adjust processing capacity and storage density based on demand or product mix changes without requiring structural modifications. The system also helps DSV meet service level agreement requirements, control operational costs, and maintain resilience during seasonal peaks.
Jan Heijblom, Senior Sales Director for Exotec in the Benelux region, stated in a press release that Exotec is pleased to support DSV in optimizing its Venlo site. The Skypod system is designed for environments demanding high speed, accuracy, and scalability—key elements for leading third-party logistics providers. Barbara Klep, Managing Director of DSV's Contract Logistics division, added that DSV uses advanced storage systems and innovative automation technologies in its warehouses to respond to customer needs. The Skypod system enables the company to adapt flexibly to changes while ensuring service levels and sustainable performance, and Exotec has contributed to making distribution in the Netherlands more reliable, efficient, and sustainable.
