Automation specialist Balyo will be presenting its Reachy narrow-aisle robot at LogiMat 2023. The system is designed to replace manually operated forklift trucks while taking up less space.

The infrastructure-free reach mast robot can pick up pallets weighing up to 1,600 kg at a height of 12 metres. It can also perform a 360° turn in just 2.9 metres, which is the tightest turning space in the aisle for high-rack stackers. The vehicle is equipped for fully autonomous movement, utilising LiDAR and a proprietary SLAM algorithm, as well as Additional 3D cameras and sensors that recognise a variety of globally common pallet types.

„Smart companies scale up - not down,“ says Mark Stevenson, Chief Sales Officer at Balyo. „The only way to safely and efficiently participate in this vertical revolution in material flow is to Automating the storage and retrieval of goods."

„The switch to robot-supported processes simply makes sense, from the Overcoming work challenges to security to ROI - all the numbers add up,“ continues Stevenson. „The biggest stumbling block for organisations is the fear of complicated change, time to implement and disruption.

Balyo will be on the LogiMat have a reachy robot in use that carries out real storage and retrieval scenarios for pallets. Tools such as Balyo eBudget for easy planning of robot projects and the Road Editor software will be demonstrated on site, which turns mission management into a drag-and-drop experience.
