L-A-C Logistics Automation is also an exclusive integrator partner for Exotec in the UK. L-A-C Logistics Automation has been monumental in delivering turn-key automation projects for its clients in the UK, by deploying Exotec’s flagship products. Skypod, is an all-in-one system for storage, retrieval and order picking. It operates on a goods-to-person philosophy and consists of robots that can climb racks up to 12 metres in height and retrieve products autonomously, before delivering totes to human-staffed or robotic picking stations. Racks are fully scalable, so storage capacity can be increased when required. It maximises storage density per square meter of floor space, whilst increasing operational velocity & flexibility. Exotec’s system is designed to dramatically increase efficiency and productivity in warehouses by automating the movement of goods to the picker, rather than the other way around. Better still Exotec is the first Tier 1 systems integrator to guarantee both performance and reliability for the duration of the contract.
