Kalmar set to introduce robotics portfolio

The portfolio will consist of the Kalmar RoboTractor, RoboLifter, RoboStacker, and RoboHandler, and prototypes are currently being tested at different sites across the globe.

The company aims to make automation and robotic technologies accessible to new customers including distribution centres and heavy logistics, in addition to ports and terminals.

Lasse Eriksson, Vice President, Technology at Kalmar said: “In our industry someone loses their life on the job every five days. We want to help our customers to keep their people safe and reduce their impact on the environment with cutting-edge equipment solutions that make no compromises in terms of safety, sustainability and productivity.

“Our intelligent and flexible Robotic Portfolio is designed to be easy to deploy, maintain and scale for customers across a wide variety of segments. With this new portfolio we are laying the foundations for a future driven by fully autonomous, unmanned material handling with zero accidents, zero emissions and maximum productivity. We are keen to continue the interactions with our customers and collaborate on pilot projects with customers who would benefit from these future solutions in their operations.”
