Exotec builds 4,000th robot as global expansion accelerates
Latest milestone comes just six months after the warehouse robotics company manufactured its 3,000th robot
Exotec, a global warehouse robotics provider, has completed the production of its 4,000th robot. This will help further accelerate the industrial unicorn's growth internationally and provides a powerful endorsement of the company's successes in 2022.
The completion of the 4,000th robot comes just six months after Exotec manufactured its 3,000th Skypod robot, highlighting strong demand for the organization's signature solution. The company now has 550 employees globally, of which 300 have been recruited this year. The Skypod robots continue to be produced entirely by Exotec at its headquarters in Croix, France, and exported globally.
Exotec's recent success and international expansion have also been reflected in the company's financial performance. In the last three years alone, Exotec tripled its annual revenue, with most of the growth coming from rapid international expansion. Exotec was also ranked eighth in the Financial Times FT1000 list of fastest-growing European businesses in 2022.
"We're extremely proud to have completed production of our 4,000th robot, with many more to come in the near future. Reaching this point so soon after our 3,000th robot milestone is a highlight of our manufacturing capabilities and a testament to the growing demand for our products globally." says Exotec CEO and Co-founder, Romain Moulin.
"This success owes everything to the hard work and unwavering commitment of our teams, all of whom have played their part in putting Exotec on the map and setting us on a path to sustained growth.
"We have no plans to rest on our laurels in terms of further refining our technology. We will continue to recruit new people not just in manufacturing, but also in R&D. After all, efficiency in warehousing and logistics has never been more important, so we want to make sure our customers have everything they need to face the future with confidence."

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
