GEBHARDT Intralogistics Group and Ocado Intelligent Automation (OIA) are entering into a relationship wherein GEBHARDT will provide the Ocado Storage and Retrieval System (OSRS) to customers in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and other territory where it operates. The non-exclusive collaboration also positions GEBHARDT to provide installation and maintenance support services for the OSRS.
“To continue our growth in the global logistics and supply chain market, we welcome GEBHARDT into the Ocado Intelligent Automation ecosystem as a solutions provider,” said Mark Richardson, CEO of Ocado Intelligent Automation, part of Ocado Group. “GEBHARDT has a stellar reputation in the sector and across Europe, and we trust them to bring deep value and expertise to customers in the region.”
The OSRS is an ultra-high-density cubic storage and retrieval system that combines world-proven automation with advanced warehouse execution software. It seamlessly integrates Ocado’s unique Robotic Pick technology, which is already deployed at scale and has performed billions of real-world picks.
The system’s ability to manage and scale high throughput operations makes it an excellent solution for a wide variety of industries, especially fashion and apparel, e-commerce, distribution, pharmaceuticals, and healthcare organizations, which need to efficiently process and pick a large volume across a wide product range.
The OSRS has market-leading storage density, and its lightweight grid structure supports a bin capacity of up to 21 bins high. Because it’s modular, systems providers and logistics teams can deploy it at any scale, safe in the knowledge that the OSRS can expand as their operations evolve.
“GEBHARDT has been seeking a high-throughput cubic ASRS to add to our portfolio. The Ocado Storage and Retrieval System fills that unique need, empowering large-scale fulfillment operators to compete at the next level,” says Marco Gebhardt, CEO of GEBHARDT Intralogistics Group. “This is what the 70-year GEBHARDT reputation is built on, providing a wide variety of flexible, modular solutions to support customers as they grow.”
“Integrators can play an essential role in the adoption and successful execution of advanced robotics and automation,” added Monique Apter, Chief Revenue Officer, OIA. “GEBHARDT and OIA share the same outlook on customer relationships. Their highly trained experts will be on the ground, engaging with customers, providing service, and training associates in a meaningful way that’s rooted in the knowledge of how those customers like to work.”
GEBHARDT will feature an OSRS / Robot in stand A71 Hall 5 at LogiMAT.
OIA will showcase a working OSRS grid at LogiMAT stand 8C77 in Hall 8 and ProMat booth #S2712, South Building, Hall A.
The companies invite media and industry analysts to participate in demonstrations and interviews at the show stands. Please send a request with preferable dates and times to the respective media contacts.
