As part of the partnership, ProLog Automation will incorporate Smart Robotics’ picking and placing systems into its service portfolio. This will give ProLog customers direct access to the Dutch technology company’s embodied AI solutions.
The combination of vendor neutrality, integration expertise, and high-performance automation technology will allow ProLog to provide its customers with more tailored advice and help them scale their operations more effectively.
“ProLog Automation has over 11 years of experience, excellent industry connections, and prominent clients. The team has a deep understanding of what matters most when implementing automation projects in industrial settings. Combined with our technological expertise as a leading provider of embodied AI, this creates a partnership from which our customers will benefit significantly“, says Felix Schmidt, Co-CEO of Smart Robotics.
Growing demand drives the partnership
The new collaboration addresses the growing demand for robotics applications in conjunction with automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS) — a field in which both partners identify substantial potential.
“We have been receiving an increasing number of inquiries about automation options in the ASRS environment, particularly with regard to piece-picking processes. We were looking for a strong partner in this important growth area. We chose Smart Robotics because they embody cutting-edge, AI-driven robotics solutions and have already demonstrated, with one billion picks under real-world conditions, that their systems deliver reliable, consistent results in real-world operations. This aspect is crucial for our customers and was the deciding factor for us as well”, explains Markus Zipper, COO / CFO of ProLog Automation GmbH & Co. KG.
Two market leaders, one goal
Both companies are already market leaders in their respective fields. Nevertheless, this partnership aligns well for several reasons. First, the companies’ roles in the market are complementary. Second, their areas of expertise match perfectly. ProLog Automation contributes comprehensive expertise across the entire project cycle. Smart Robotics complements this expertise with its highly innovative, ready-to-use Smart Item Picker solution, which has been extensively proven under real-world conditions and can be quickly and flexibly integrated into existing customer projects.
