Our systems use intelligent robotics, precision gripping technologies, and advanced software solutions to guarantee error-free picking—even for small parts, bulky items, or fragile products. Benefits include:

High picking speeds through fully automated processes
Reduced error rates thanks to intelligent sensors and data processing
Optimized storage utilization through dynamic inventory management
Ergonomic relief for staff and fewer manual tasks
Improved supply chain management through shorter lead times
High flexibility through modern robotics and tailored material handling components

We integrate Pick-by-Light, Pick-by-Vision, or robot-assisted gripping systems into our picking cells to make your operations faster and more efficient. Every picking solution is designed to meet your exact specifications—down to the last detail.

Automated Sorting – Smarter Material Flow Management

Sorting is a critical step in almost every industry—whether in logistics, e-commerce, food processing, or manufacturing. A Rotte automated sorting system delivers maximum efficiency, even with high throughput volumes and complex sorting criteria.

Thanks to advanced vision systems, powerful sensors, and intelligent control software, our sorting systems can process products based on a wide range of characteristics, including:

Size, weight, and shape
Color or surface texture
Barcodes, RFID-Tags oder QR-Codes
Packaging type or batch information

Our systems are engineered to maintain high-speed, high-accuracy sorting—even with mixed product types. The modular design allows for easy integration into existing material flow systems and flexible expansion as your needs grow.

Automated Stacking – The Foundation of Efficient Logistics

Automated stacking of products, boxes, or pallets is key to optimizing warehouse space and streamlining shipping processes. With Rotte’s automated stacking solutions, you not only speed up operations but also improve workplace safety and eliminate manual errors.

Our robotic stacking systems are precise and reliable, capable of handling a wide range of goods—from small packaging units to heavy pallets. Key advantages include:

Stable stacks through precise positioning
Flexible configuration for varying product sizes and weights
Integrated safety features to prevent damage
Fast adaptation to changing requirements with simple programming

By using next-generation industrial robots, our stacking solutions provide essential support for your team, add flexibility to your workflows, and improve ergonomic conditions in the workplace.
