Introducing the AeroBot: Shaping the Future of Intelligent Storage and Fulfillment

At the forefront of innovation in intralogistics, KNAPP unveiled its latest technological breakthrough—the AeroBot system—at the recent International Logistics Trade Fair. This cutting-edge storage robot marks a bold step forward in warehouse automation, reinforcing our continued commitment to building smarter, more adaptive logistics solutions.

Designed for Real-World Warehouses

The AeroBot system was specifically engineered to operate within standard building heights, eliminating the need for extensive infrastructure changes while still delivering exceptional storage density. Its sleek, modular design brings a new level of efficiency to storage and retrieval processes, especially in high-demand environments such as e-commerce, omnichannel retail, and micro-fulfillment centers.

Whether you’re navigating the complexities of fast-moving consumer goods or adapting to changing order profiles in manufacturing, the AeroBot’s adaptability makes it a future-proof investment.

More Than Just a Robot — A Response to Real Market Needs

“The AeroBot system is another milestone in our long line of innovations,” explains Gerald Hofer, CEO of KNAPP.
“As with any other development, the AeroBot is a result of contemporary market drivers and the needs of our customers. Currently, solutions that provide an easier start to automation and are flexible enough to adapt rapidly to market conditions are popular. It’s important to look at these needs on the basis of an overall concept instead of just isolated technologies. This is exactly what our main focus at KNAPP has been in the past years—and we now have the broadest portfolio of technologies on the market.”

In other words, AeroBot isn’t just a new tool—it’s a strategic response to today’s logistics landscape, where speed, flexibility, and system interoperability are more crucial than ever.
