Robotics raise the bar in warehouse automation

The future of intralogistics is already taking shape — and it’s mobile, modular, and remarkably intelligent. At Automatica in Munich, Gessmann unveiled its GESSbot GB 350, an AMR and cobot solution already being trialled by Volkswagen to transform warehouse workflows. Designed to cut costs, improve accuracy and ease labour strain, the GESSbot delivers automated order picking and flexible payload handling up to 350 kg — without the need for complex installations.

With intuitive programming, real-time obstacle detection, and the ability to learn from digital simulations using Nvidia Omniverse, this isn’t just another off-the-shelf automation tool. It’s a strategic asset that evolves with the operation. Gessmann’s partnership-first approach empowers clients like Volkswagen to take ownership of the technology and upskill internally, reducing integration time and boosting resilience.

As logistics leaders face mounting pressure to reduce costs and maximise productivity, the GESSbot proves automation isn’t about replacing people, it’s about making your workforce smarter, safer and more effective.
