Fives Intralogistics and Caja Robotics form automation partnership
Caja Robotics’ Goods-to-Person (GTP) solution, including its cloud-based control software and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs), has joined Fives Intralogistics, a global leader in warehouse and distribution solutions.
THIS STRATEGIC union creates a holistic powerhouse, ready to redefine smart warehousing globally.
Caja says: “By joining the Fives Group, our growth isn’t just incremental; it’s scaled to a whole new level. Our commitment to agile technology is now underpinned by Fives’ global expertise and extensive resources.”
Broader Solution Portfolio: The AMRs and precision GTP technology now complements Fives’ comprehensive range of shuttles, mini-loads, conveyors, and robotics handling solutions. Customers gain seamless access to true end-to-end automation.
Enhanced Global Reach & Support: Embedded within Fives’ vast intralogistics ecosystem and service network, Caja’s cloud-native solutions can be deployed faster and more efficiently across Europe, North America, and Japan, ensuring superior global support.
Software Synergies: Caja’s robust Warehouse Control System (WCS) seamlessly integrates with Fives’ existing software suite, including the powerful SU WCS. This synergy provides a scalable foundation for next-generation, cloud-native control platforms, enabling smarter, more adaptable warehouse operations.
Caja’s Core Technology: Caja’s solution is a next-generation robotic system built for high-performance G2P in e-commerce, 3PL, and retail segments, including groceries, fashion, and medical supplies.
Dynamically manages orders
The system’s advanced software dynamically manages orders for optimal efficiency and full flexibility, making it ideal for complex omnichannel fulfillment. It eliminates the need for proprietary bins or complex decanting, working directly with standard shelving and cartons.
System components at a glance
Intelligent Software: Designed for fleet orchestration and material flow control, the AI-driven WCS guarantees customer SLAs by evaluating data in real-time, enabling the operation with fewer robots and fewer storage locations needed.
Agile Robots: The fleet includes two types: the Cart robot (fast and optimised for bottom levels) and the LIFT robot (reaches higher shelves and handles larger payloads).
Modular Storage: Compatible with both brownfield retrofits and new warehouse designs, requiring minimal infrastructure changes. It easily adjusts to places with structural constraints, such as under mezzanines.
Optimised Workstations: Inbound and picking stations are fully synchronised with warehouse operations to maximise worker productivity and overall fulfillment centre efficiency.
Caja’s solution has been installed successfully in the UK for a few years, for example at Clinisupplies in Stoke-on-Trent.
