Attendees can also preview Exotec’s latest innovations, including a live demonstration of the Next Generation Skypod system, offering an up-close look at how robotics is shaping the future of smart logistics. Next-Gen Skypod integrates high-density storage, smart order sequencing, and packing processes into one unified solution. The system features a built-in buffering function for staging items, precise order sequencing aligned with delivery routes and store layouts, and a direct pick-to-pack workflow that reduces manual handling and improves packaging efficiency. With a 50% increase in throughput per workstation and up to 30% higher storage capacity, the system supports both B2B and B2C operations, enabling seamless omnichannel fulfilment. This innovation eliminates the need for external sorters and buffer zones, significantly optimizing space, cost, and operational efficiency.

With this new center, we’re not only bringing our flagship system closer to Korean businesses—we’re also demonstrating our long-term commitment to empowering their growth through technology.”
