FastBots Solution

New dimension of high-performance automation

The demands on intralogistics are constantly growing—higher performance, greater flexibility, and maximum scalability are essential to stay competitive. The FastBots Solution from SSI SCHAEFER redefines automation by combining high performance with intelligent networking. Its modular architecture provides maximum flexibility while requiring minimal space—a game-changer for the future of logistics. 

The FastBots Solution is based on a fleet of high-performance robots that move seamlessly between the warehouse and workstations. The FastBots transport various load carriers – including trays, cartons, containers, and polybags – under the precise control of the intelligent fleet controller. Instead of relying on fixed conveyor systems, FastBots navigate freely in space, optimize routes in real time, and ensure smooth material flow. This dynamic and scalable automation solution effortlessly adapts to changing warehouse demands. 

FastBots Solution – the answer to your intralogistics challenges

Experience maximum flexibility, highest efficiency, and future-proof automation. Discover the advantages of our innovative solution for your company: 

  • Maximum flexibility in warehouse layout 

From small parts warehouse to shuttle storage and sorting applications, the FastBots Solution adapts to costumized warehouse layouts. Case Picking and Piece Picking processes integrate seamlessly, ensuring fast and efficient transport of a wide range of load carriers. A high level of standardization guarantees optimized workflows and smooth operations. 

  • Scalable performance for every requirement  

Designed for warehouses of all sizes, the FastBots Solution scales effortlessly. Whether you're operating a compact facility with a few aisles or a large logistics center, the system expands as needed. Performance is driven by a dynamic combination of aisles, workstations, vehicles, and charging stations—delivering up to 10,000 double cycles per hour. 

  • Highest resilience and maximum uptime 

Unlike traditional, rigid conveying systems, the FastBots Solution offers unmatched resilience. In the event of a disruption, the fleet automatically recalibrates, rerouting in real time to prevent downtime. The intelligent fleet controller ensures continuous logistics operations, keeping productivity at peak levels. 

  • Energy efficiency and low operating costs 

By using state-of-the-art battery technology and optimized route planning, the FastBots Solution significantly reduces energy consumption. The vehicles move freely in space – without fixed grids or predetermined paths – allowing energy consumption to adapt to warehouse utilization. This results in lower operating costs, reduced spare parts inventory, and optimized service expenses

  • Safety, ergonomics, and gentle transport 

The FastBots Solution offers the highest levels of safety and ergonomics. With smooth acceleration as well as precise pickup and drop-off of the load carriers, the system ensures gentle transport of sensitive goods. At the same time, the work environment for employees is improved, as no interventions are necessary, the workplace is quieter, and the system supports ergonomically optimized workstations.
