Zalando selects Nomagic AI-powered warehouse robotics
The online fashion retailer is bidding to strengthen operational excellence at its fulfilment centres.
THE ROBOTIC solutions deliver significant efficiency gains and reliability across existing deployments.
The robots (named Richard) carry out item-level picking, scanning and induction to automated pocket sorters. Following a successful pilot project that achieved industry leading operational excellence – including an average of 10,000 picks/day – Zalando will roll out more Nomagic systems. A total of nine robots will be live in 2025, with a double-digit number planned for deployment in 2026. Zalando has also made a minority investment into Nomagic as part of its previously announced $44 million Series B round.
Zalando vice president logistics network Marcus Daute, says: “Nomagic’s technology has demonstrated clear, measurable value in our operations. Their AI-driven solutions allow us to scale automation quickly while maintaining the high service levels our customers expect.”
Nomagic’s computer vision and machine learning capabilities enable robots to handle an ever-wider variety of products, learn continuously and adapt to changing inventory; a critical factor in handling a very large assortment of fashion and lifestyle products.
