Precisely position, efficiently compact: Würth Industrie Service and SSI Schäfer further develop picking robots together
Würth Industrie Service has further automated the picking process in its logistics center in Bad Mergentheim. To do this, SSI Schäfer integrated the fully automatic robotic solution "SSI Piece Picking" into the existing system in April 2026. The system automatically consolidates pre-picked items and is intended to increase the throughput of the existing picking technology. According to the companies, extensive technical modifications were not necessary for the integration. The robotic system was pre-assembled and functionally tested at SSI Schäfer's factory, allowing the on-site commissioning to be completed within a few days.
