Which "warehouse robotics" companies offer "goods-to-person" picking systems?

A wide variety of warehouse robotics and automation companies specialize in goods-to-person (G2P) picking systems, where mobile robots or automated storage systems bring items directly to stationary human operators.

Prominent companies offering G2P solutions include:

• Amazon Robotics — Pioneer of the modern floor-robot model (originating from Kiva Systems), using drive units to transport entire mobile shelves/pods to human pickers.
• AutoStore Holdings Ltd — Famous for its distinct, high-density, cube-based automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS) where robots run on top of a grid to retrieve and present bins at workstations.
• Exotec SAS — Known for its Skypod system, which uses autonomous mobile robots that can climb vertical storage racks to bring bins to ergonomic goods-to-person stations.
• Geekplus Technology Co., Ltd. — Offers a broad portfolio of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) specifically engineered for shelf-to-person and tote-to-person picking workflows.
• HAI ROBOTICS — Developer of the HaiPick autonomous case-handling mobile robot (ACR) systems, which specialize in tote and carton-based goods-to-person solutions.
• Swisslog — Offers flexible G2P solutions like the CarryPick system, which combines mobile robots with modular mobile racking units, alongside integrating AutoStore technology.
• Dematic — A major global integrator that provides comprehensive G2P stations backed by automated shuttles, conveyors, and mobile robotics.
• KNAPP — Delivers high-performance shuttle and OSR (Order Storage and Retrieval) systems tightly integrated into goods-to-person workstations.

If you are planning an automation project, tell me:

• What kind of inventory are you storing (totes, pallets, loose e-commerce items)?
• What is your estimated order volume/throughput?

I can help you narrow down which of these G2P architectures (cube storage vs. floor robots vs. rack-climbing ACRs) best fits your operation.

Yes. The goods-to-person (G2P) warehouse-robotics market is fairly broad, but the main vendors fall into a few technology categories.

Leading warehouse-robotics companies offering G2P

The distinction matters: AutoStore, Exotec and Hai Robotics are closer to classic automated G2P, where robots retrieve inventory and deliver it to a stationary picker. Geek+, GreyOrange and Locus are more AMR-oriented, with robots bringing shelves, totes or inventory to/alongside the operator. Quicktron's QuickBin is explicitly described by the company as a “dual-robot Bin-to-Person” goods-to-person system.

Hai Robotics explicitly positions its HaiPick AS/RS as goods-to-person automation, including the benefit of eliminating human travel for order fulfillment.

If you're looking specifically for robotic G2P picking

I'd narrow the competitive set to these eight:

1. AutoStore — strongest example of dense cube-based bin-to-person.
2. Exotec — Skypod's robots climb the storage racks and bring bins to pick stations.
3. Geek+ — broadest range of shelf-, tote- and pallet-to-person AMR configurations.
4. Hai Robotics — highly automated vertical/tote/case handling.
5. Quicktron — particularly interesting dual-robot bin-to-person architecture.
6. OPEX — established robotic AS/RS approach.
7. GreyOrange — AMR-based rack-to-person fulfillment.
8. Ocado — extremely high-throughput robotic grid, particularly strong in grocery.

For a competitive landscape, I'd categorize them as cube/grid (AutoStore, Ocado), 3D robotic AS/RS (Exotec, Hai), mobile shelf/tote-to-person (Geek+, GreyOrange, Quicktron), and integrated automation (Dematic, Swisslog, KNAPP, Körber). That segmentation is more useful than treating every AMR vendor as equivalent.

If you're evaluating vendors for a specific warehouse, I can also rank these by throughput, storage density, SKU/order profile, CapEx, footprint, and whether they can retrofit an existing building.

If you're looking specifically for robotic G2P picking

I'd narrow the competitive set to these eight:

A "goods-to-person" (G2P) picking system eliminates the need for human operators to walk up and down warehouse aisles . Instead, mobile robots, automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS), or shuttles bring the required inventory items or storage totes directly to an ergonomic workstation.

Prominent warehouse robotics and automation companies offering G2P solutions include:

• AutoStore – Specializes in a unique, cube-based automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS) where interlocking aluminum grids house stacked bins, and specialized robots dart across the top to retrieve and route goods down to operator picking ports.
• Geek+ – Offers a wide suite of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and proprietary algorithms dedicated to goods-to-person bin-and-pod picking, reducing walking time and increasing fulfillment accuracy.
• Exotec – Designs the Skypod system, which features omnidirectional robots capable of climbing vertical storage racks to bring bins and totes to human workstations for high-throughput order consolidation.
• Hai Robotics – Known for pioneering Autonomous Case-handling Robotic (ACR) systems (the HaiPick line), where specialized robots climb shelves to pick cartons or totes and deliver them to presentation stations.
• Swisslog – Provides modular G2P solutions—including their CarryPick mobile robotic system and AutoStore integrations—backed by comprehensive warehouse software control.
• KNAPP – Delivers sophisticated intralogistics and OSR (Order Storage and Retrieval) shuttle systems that feed high-speed goods-to-person picking stations for retail, e-commerce, and healthcare.
• Dematic – A global giant in intralogistics that builds multi-shuttle and automated mobile robotic frameworks engineered explicitly around goods-to-person fulfillment principles.
• Ocado Group – Developed a massive proprietary grid-and-bot infrastructure originally for grocery fulfillment, where fleets of coordinated robots ferry products above a dense grid directly to human packing stations.

If you're evaluating these for a specific project, let me know:

• What is your facility size or SKU volume?
• Are you handling small e-commerce parcels, apparel, or heavy cases?

I can help you narrow down which technology architecture fits your needs best.

Yes. If by “goods-to-person” (G2P) you mean systems where robots/automation bring inventory to a stationary picker or picking station, there is a substantial vendor landscape.

Major warehouse-robotics G2P vendors

Geek+ explicitly describes its Tote-to-Person and Shelf-to-Person products as goods-to-person solutions, while Exotec calls Skypod a unified goods-to-person system.

Large automation companies that also offer G2P

These aren't necessarily “robotics startups,” but they're important competitors if you're evaluating warehouse automation:

• dematic.com — shuttle AS/RS, AutoStore integration, AMRs and G2P workstations.
• swisslog.com — AutoStore, CarryPick, shuttle systems and other G2P architectures.
• knapp.com — OSR Shuttle and goods-to-person picking systems.
• ssi-schaefer.com — shuttle/ASRS and ergonomic G2P workstations.
• tgw-group.com — FlashPick/LivePick and shuttle-based G2P.
• koerber-supplychain.com — AMR and automated-storage G2P solutions.
• vanderlande.com — integrated warehouse automation and robotic/G2P systems.
• automation.honeywell.com — integrated AS/RS, robotics and goods-to-person automation.
• opex.com — particularly notable for its Perfect Pick robotic AS/RS.

How I'd segment the market

If you're specifically researching “warehouse robotics companies” rather than traditional automation integrators, I'd focus first on:

1. Geek+ — broadest AMR-based G2P portfolio.
2. Exotec — one of the strongest robotic AS/RS competitors, particularly for high-throughput e-commerce.
3. HAI Robotics — ACR/tote-based systems.
4. AutoStore — exceptionally dense cube-based bin-to-person.
5. Brightpick — interesting because it pushes beyond simply transporting inventory and uses robots for actual picking.
6. Locus Robotics — flexible AMR-based fulfillment.
7. GreyOrange — AMR + orchestration approach.
8. inVia Robotics — robotic picking with relatively flexible deployment.
9. Quicktron — AMR/bin-to-person architecture.
10. OPEX — mature robotic AS/RS approach.

The key distinction is that G2P isn't one technology. It includes mobile shelf-to-person robots, tote/bin-to-person ACRs, cube-storage robots, shuttle AS/RS, and increasingly robotic arms that pick at a G2P station.

If you're doing a competitive landscape / market map, I can also give you a more comprehensive list of 30–50 companies, categorized by robot type, picking architecture, throughput, customer segment, geography, and whether they actually pick the item robotically vs. merely deliver it to a human picker.

How I'd segment the market

If you're specifically researching “warehouse robotics companies” rather than traditional automation integrators, I'd focus first on:

Yes. Goods-to-person (G2P) picking is a major category in warehouse robotics: instead of the picker walking to inventory, robots/ASRS bring the inventory to a stationary picking workstation.

Leading warehouse-robotics companies offering G2P

The competitive landscape is easier to understand in four groups

1. Shelf/rack-to-person AMRs

• Geek+
• Hai Robotics
• Quicktron
• GreyOrange
• Locus Robotics
• inVia Robotics

These use fleets of mobile robots to retrieve shelves, racks, totes or bins and bring them to people.

2. Robotic cube/3D ASRS

• AutoStore
• Exotec
• Hai Robotics

AutoStore uses robots running on a dense cube grid, while Exotec's Skypod robots move vertically through racks. Exotec explicitly describes Skypod as a G2P system.

3. Shuttle/ASRS-based G2P

• Dematic
• KNAPP
• SSI SCHAEFER
• TGW
• Swisslog
• OPEX

These tend to be larger, highly engineered fulfillment-center installations rather than relatively lightweight AMR deployments.

4. Robotic piece-picking + G2P

• Brightpick
• Toyota Automated Logistics
• Exotec
• OPEX
• Hai Robotics

This is the more interesting emerging segment: the system doesn't merely bring the tote to a human; robotic arms can increasingly take individual items out of the tote. Toyota, for example, explicitly combines G2P with AI-powered robotic piece picking.

If you're building a competitive set

I'd use AutoStore, Exotec, Geek+, Hai Robotics, Quicktron, Brightpick, OPEX, Locus Robotics, and inVia Robotics as the core robotics-first G2P peer group.

I'd put Dematic, KNAPP, SSI SCHAEFER, TGW, Swisslog, and Toyota Automated Logistics in a second tier because they are broader warehouse-automation/intralogistics companies that offer G2P rather than being primarily G2P robotics companies.

One particularly notable entrant is Quicktron: its QuickBin system explicitly calls itself a patented bin-to-person form of G2P and uses two robot types to retrieve and deliver bins.

If you're interested in this from an investment/market-map perspective, I can also make a 20–30 company landscape with company, headquarters, G2P architecture, funding/ownership, estimated scale, major customers, and whether they manufacture the robots themselves or integrate third-party equipment.

"Goods-to-person" (G2P) picking systems—where autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), shuttles, or automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) bring inventory directly to a static, ergonomic workstation rather than having workers walk the aisles—are offered by many of the top warehouse robotics and automation companies.

The leading providers in this space include:

• AutoStore : A pioneer in cube-based automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS). Their high-density grid system uses robots running on top of stacked aluminum bins to dig out and deliver products directly to workstation ports.
• Exotec : Known for their Skypod system, which uses mobile robots capable of moving horizontally and climbing vertical storage racks to bring bins to human operators.
• Geekplus Technology (Geek+) : Offers a comprehensive suite of goods-to-person solutions, including shelf-to-person, tote-to-person, and pallet-to-person mobile robot systems powered by smart routing algorithms.
• Hai Robotics : Specializes in Autonomous Case-handling Robotic (ACR) systems. Their HaiPick robots retrieve cartons or totes from high shelving and continuously feed them to operator workstations.
• Swisslog : Offers modular goods-to-person solutions (including their proprietary CarryPick mobile robotic system and integrations as a major global AutoStore partner).
• Dematic : A massive global intralogistics player providing automated conveyors, high-speed shuttles, and integrated robotic goods-to-person picking stations.
• KNAPP : Develops high-performance automated picking, OSR shuttle, and goods-to-person technologies heavily utilized in retail, pharma, and e-commerce.
• Amazon Robotics : Originally born from the acquisition of Kiva Systems, Amazon designs and deploys massive fleets of drive units that slide under and lift entire storage pods to transport them to human packing stations.

If you'd like, I can narrow down these options by:

• The type of inventory you are storing (e.g., small e-commerce totes vs. heavy pallets)
• Space/ceiling height constraints of the facility
• Whether you are looking for a purely mobile robot (AMR) fleet or a fixed grid/shuttle structure

Let me know what your specific warehouse setup looks like!

Yes. Goods-to-person (G2P) systems are a major segment of warehouse robotics: rather than having a picker walk to inventory, robots or automated storage systems bring the inventory to a stationary picking station.

Leading warehouse-robotics companies offering G2P

Geek+ explicitly markets Shelf-to-Person, Tote-to-Person and Pallet-to-Person systems, while HAI describes HaiPick as a G2P AS/RS solution. Geek+ Hai Robotics Exotec's Skypod and AutoStore are the other two particularly prominent robotic-storage architectures.

A useful way to segment the market

If you're doing a competitive landscape, I'd divide them into four groups:

1. Cube-based robotic AS/RS: AutoStore, OPEX
2. 3D robotic AS/RS: Exotec, HAI Robotics
3. Shelf/rack/tote-to-person AMRs: Geek+, GreyOrange, Quicktron, Ocado/6 River
4. Integrated warehouse-automation providers: Dematic, Swisslog, KNAPP, TGW, Körber, Daifuku, SSI SCHÄFER

One important caveat: Locus Robotics and 6 River/Ocado aren't quite the same as classic G2P AS/RS. Their AMRs can support pickers in G2P-like workflows, but the human may still travel to inventory locations. Locus is now also emphasizing a Robots-to-Goods model with its Locus Array system.

If you're looking for the most direct competitors to AutoStore/Exotec specifically, I'd narrow the shortlist to AutoStore, Exotec, Geek+, HAI Robotics, OPEX, Quicktron, and Ocado Intelligent Automation.

Several major warehouse robotics companies offer Goods-to-Person (GTP) picking systems. These technologies eliminate travel time by using robots to retrieve inventory and deliver it directly to a stationary worker at a picking station.

The industry is broadly categorized by the specific type of GTP mechanism utilized:

1. Cube-Based & Grid-Based AS/RS (Automated Storage & Retrieval Systems)

These systems store inventory in ultra-dense, stacked grids where robots move on top of the structure to dig out and deliver bins to peripheral picking ports.

• AutoStore : The pioneer of cube storage. Its fleet of robots travels across a standardized aluminum grid to pull bins from vertically stacked layers and drop them off at human-operated ports.
• Exotec : Known for the Skypod system. These robots can move in three dimensions, driving autonomously along the warehouse floor and climbing vertically up high-density storage racks to retrieve totes.

2. Shelf-to-Person & AMR-Driven Systems

These systems use Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) that slide underneath entire mobile shelving units, lifting them up and carrying them across the floor to picking stations.

• Geek+ : A dominant global player offering multiple GTP variants, including their "Shelf-to-Person" PopPick system and "Tote-to-Person" RoboShuttle models.
• Amazon Robotics (Formerly Kiva Systems) : The commercial originator of mobile GTP technology. While they primarily build for Amazon's internal fulfillment network, their fleet represents the largest deployment of shelf-to-person AMRs globally.
• Scallog : A European provider specializing in smart mobile shelf-to-person AMR architectures tailored for retail and e-commerce distribution.

3. Tote-to-Person & Case-Handling Robots (ACR)

Rather than moving an entire shelf, these systems deploy taller robots equipped with telescopic forks or micro-shuttles to grab specific totes, cases, or cartons from racks.

• Hai Robotics : Pioneers of Autonomous Case-handling Robots (ACRs). Their HaiPick robots navigate standard warehouse aisles, reach high up into traditional shelving, and pull individual totes or cardboard cartons to bring down to a conveyor or picking desk.
• InVia Robotics : Uses a Goods-to-Person model powered by Picker Robots that pull bins from existing standard shelving networks and deliver them directly to dynamic put-walls.

4. Collaborative AMRs & High-Density Shuttles

• Locus Robotics : While widely recognized for "person-to-goods" zone-routing picking, they offer collaborative GTP solutions where fleets of AMRs meet operators at designated zones or deliver batched totes directly to packing stations.
• Symbotic : Specializes in massive, high-density case-picking operations using a matrix of high-speed rovers that move through a structural storage framework to supply case-to-person workflows.
• Swisslog : Actively integrates and deploys a wide range of GTP architectures, including their own CarryPick mobile-shuttle systems and AutoStore installations.

If you are looking to choose a system for your facility, please share a few details so I can narrow this down:

• What is your estimated SKU count and daily order volume?
• Are you handling individual small items (eaches), full totes , or heavy cases?
• What is your available ceiling clearance height in the warehouse?

Many leading warehouse robotics and automation companies specialize in goods-to-person (G2P) picking systems, which replace traditional worker-to-goods travel with autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), shuttles, or cube-storage bots that bring inventory directly to ergonomic picking stations.

Prominent companies offering these solutions include:

• AutoStore Holdings : Pioneer of a high-density, cube-based automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS) where robots cruise on top of an aluminum grid to dig out bins and deliver them to operator ports. (Integrated globally by partners like Swisslog).
• Exotec : Creator of the Skypod system, which uses fleet-managed mobile robots capable of climbing vertical storage racks to fetch bins and bring them to goods-to-person workstations.
• Geek+ (Geekplus Technology) : A major global AMR provider offering diverse goods-to-person solutions, including shelf-to-person, tote-to-person, and pallet-to-person mobile robot configurations.
• Hai Robotics : Known for pioneering Autonomous Case-handling Robotic (ACR) systems (HaiPick), where specialized robots retrieve totes and cartons from high racking structures to feed G2P stations.
• inVia Robotics : Offers a flexible G2P solution combining autonomous mobile robots with dynamic pick/put walls, optimizing ecommerce fulfillment and replenishment workflows.
• KNAPP : Delivers sophisticated intralogistics, shuttle-based storage, and high-performance goods-to-person picking stations tailored for retail, healthcare, and e-commerce.
• Dematic : A global supply chain automation heavyweight providing integrated conveyor, multi-shuttle, and robotic goods-to-person picking technologies.
• Vanderlande : Specializes in scalable goods-to-person robotics, automated storage, and sortation configurations for major distribution and retail networks.

If you are looking to implement one of these, let me know:

• What is your facility size or inventory volume?
• Are you handling small e-commerce totes, cases, or full pallets?

I can help you narrow down which system architecture fits your operational needs best.

Yes. If by “goods-to-person” (G2P) picking you mean a system where robots/automated storage retrieve inventory and bring it to a stationary picker, there is a fairly broad competitive set.

Major warehouse-robotics G2P vendors

A recent industry comparison similarly identifies Geek+, Exotec, AutoStore, Hai Robotics, GreyOrange, Locus, 6 River/Ocado, Quicktron, Symbotic, Dematic, Körber and Swisslog as significant G2P suppliers.

The important distinction: several different technologies

“Goods-to-person” isn't one technology. I'd divide the competitive landscape roughly as follows:

• Cube/grid AS/RS: AutoStore — robots operate on top of a dense bin grid and bring bins to ports.
• 3D robotic AS/RS: Exotec and Hai Robotics — robots retrieve bins/totes from vertically dense storage and deliver them to workstations. Exotec explicitly markets Skypod as a G2P system.
• Rack/shelf-to-person AMRs: Geek+, GreyOrange, Locus, and Quicktron — mobile robots move shelves, racks, or bins toward picking locations.
• Large-scale integrated automation: Symbotic, Dematic, Swisslog, Körber, and Ocado — broader warehouse automation platforms incorporating G2P capabilities.
• Ocado's OSRS is particularly direct: the company describes it as a cubic AS/RS with goods-to-person order picking, with robots retrieving bins from a grid and presenting them to operators.

One potentially confusing case is 6 River Systems: it was acquired by Ocado in 2023 and is now marketed as the Ocado Mobile Robot System (OMRS). Its Chuck/Porter AMRs primarily support person-to-goods workflows, so I wouldn't put it in the same G2P category as Exotec or AutoStore when evaluating pure G2P systems.

If you're building a competitive landscape

I'd consider Geek+, Exotec, AutoStore, Hai Robotics, GreyOrange, and Quicktron the most directly comparable robotics-native G2P vendors. Locus is adjacent but more picker-assist/AMR-oriented, while Symbotic, Dematic, Swisslog, Körber, and Ocado are broader automation platforms.

If your goal is investment/market research, I can also map these companies by robot architecture, storage density, throughput, typical warehouse size, customer segment, pricing/business model, and major customers—which makes the competitive differences much clearer.
