The remaining robots will be delivered by the end of the year and put into operation next year. The working area of the robots in the shelf racking system is also increasing from 4,000 to 16,000 square meters.

Carl-Friedrich zu Knyphausen, director logistics development at Zalando, said, “We see the mobile pick robots from Magazino as an important support for our logistics processes. Often, automation technologies are difficult to implement in confined areas such as a picking warehouse. But the TORU robots have proven that they can relieve our colleagues of non-ergonomic tasks. They actively and reliably cooperate – and not only in daily business, but also at peak times like Cyber Week.”

Frederik Brantner, CEO and founder of Magazino, said, “The scaling of the robot fleet clearly shows the added value of TORU. Zalando's decision to roll out our technology on a large scale is proof that mobile robots like TORU have long since left the test and prototype phase behind and are now an integral part of modern, high-performance intralogistics.”
