Problem
Warehouse operators that rely on manual, person‑to‑goods picking face limited throughput, high labor expenses, and difficulty scaling to seasonal peaks or growth. Traditional conveyor‑based systems also create bottlenecks and require extensive floor space, reducing flexibility in modern fulfillment centers.
Solution
Exotec by Dexter delivers turnkey intralogistics platforms built around the Skypod mobile‑robot fleet, which autonomously climbs shelving racks to bring individual items to operators (good‑to‑person picking). The company handles end‑to‑end project delivery—including site analysis, system design, installation, and ongoing support—so clients can transition from legacy processes without internal expertise. Customers can acquire the robots outright or opt for a robot‑as‑a‑service (RaaS) subscription, aligning capital outlay with usage patterns. Integrated data‑analytics tools provide real‑time performance monitoring and ROI forecasting, enabling continuous optimization as demand fluctuates. The solution’s modular architecture supports rapid scaling, allowing additional robots to be added without major re‑engineering. All hardware and software comply with safety and sustainability standards, reducing ergonomic risk and energy consumption.
Target Audience
Primary customers are mid‑size to large retailers, publishers, automotive parts distributors, and e‑commerce fulfillment centers that require high‑speed unit order picking and want to improve labor efficiency while maintaining flexibility for growth.
