Renault Group revamps warehouse
WAREHOUSE ROBOTICS provider Exotec is equipping Renault Deutschland AG with its space-efficient Skypod system to modernise its logistics capabilities at its Brühl site.
Starting in 2026, Renault plans to supply car dealers across Germany with spare parts for its models, using an automated warehouse in the country for the first time.
Following the successful deployment of Renault’s French site in Villeroy last year, the warehouse robotics specialist is now equipping Renault Group in Germany with its Skypod system within the new, 258,000 sq ft automated warehouse.
The warehouse will be equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including a total of 89 Skypod robots to deliver a planned throughput of over 1,600 containers per hour. The system combines efficient goods receiving and order picking, with a capacity of 1,500 order lines per hour. Orchestrating the entire operation is Exotec’s in-house warehouse execution system, Deepsky, which seamlessly coordinates inbound to outbound flows.
The anticipated go-live is for June 2026.
Renault Deutschland AG director customer service & aftersales Oliver Schieritz, says: “With the expansion of our site in Brühl and the collaboration with Exotec, we are investing specifically in innovative technologies to further optimize our spare parts logistics,” says at. “With its Skypod system, Exotec is making a significant contribution to making the supply of our dealers throughout Germany even more reliable, efficient, and sustainable.”
