Skypod goods-to-person system uses fleets of robots that move in three dimensions by climbing storage racks at up to 4 m/s (12m max height, 30 kg payload), complemented by Skypicker robotic picking arms (600 items/hr, 3D vision, 90% e-commerce SKU coverage) and orchestrated by Deepsky warehouse-execution software. The Next-Generation Skypod (commercially launched February 2025) handles both each and case picking at 600 bins/hr per workstation, with +50% throughput and up to +30% storage density vs previous generation. Deployed at 200+ customer sites with 10,000+ robots manufactured globally as of October 2025.
