Auchan Luxembourg invests in space saving robotic system
01 November 2024
The retailer has deployed Exotec’s Skypod system, which increases storage capacity at the warehouse by 17%.

AT AUCHAN’S site, Exotec has installed 37 robots in the warehouse to automate order processing, making the workload of warehouse employees lighter and more pleasant. The installation consists of racks in which the Skypod robots autonomously and efficiently manoeuvre in all directions to extract products from 15,300 bins. They then take these to one of three picking stations, where the order is completed.
Auchan Retail Luxembourg marketing and e-commerce director, Nicolas Gueuzurian, says: “The newly installed Skypod system in Dudelange occupies only 749 sq m of floor space, whereas our previous system took up 2,200 sq m of space.
“After a month and a half transition period, the number of products available in the Auchan Drive has increased by 17%, bringing the total to more than 13,000, while further improving the shopping experience for our customers. Thanks to this functional building block, we were able to open two new branches in September, thus serving the Luxembourg territory even better.”
