Innok Robotics relies on Sick's proven sensors, such as the LiDAR outdoorscan, for its autonomous outdoor transport robots. This partnership has evolved into a close development collaboration aimed at optimizing automation in demanding outdoor and brownfield environments. A new milestone has been reached: Sick itself becomes an Innok Robotics customer and integrates the outdoor-capable Induros transport robot into its advanced logistics processes.

Ulrike Kahle-Roth, Board Member for Supply Chain & Fulfillment at Sick, officially received the Induros at LogiMAT from Alwin Heerklotz, CEO and founder of Innok Robotics, and Nikolas Rössler, CFO and CCO, and spoke about the future technological collaboration.
