Robotics Solutions for Logistics, Industry and Service
Using Robotics Where It Provides Meaningful Process Support
Robotics solutions help companies automate recurring tasks, reduce the workload on employees and make processes more flexible. Depending on the application, different technologies are used – from mobile transport robots and autonomous systems to cobots and service robots.
The specific use case is what matters. Not every robotics technology is suitable for every process. We therefore consider not only the technology itself, but also existing workflows, infrastructure, interfaces and operational requirements.
ICS supports the evaluation of suitable solutions and involves appropriate technology partners depending on the project. From technical evaluation and pilot projects to integration into existing processes and IT systems, we support robotics projects in a practical and requirements-based manner.

Robotics for Different Application Areas
Logistics and Intralogistics
Autonomous transport systems and mobile robots automate material flows and handle recurring transport and replenishment tasks. Depending on the use case, AGVs, AMRs or other mobile robotics solutions may be used.
Key factors include the specific process flows, spatial conditions, safety requirements and seamless integration into existing IT systems.
Benefits
- Automated material transport and replenishment
- Support for picking and material provision
- Reduced workload for recurring transport tasks
- Flexible integration into material flows
Industry and Production
Cobots and industrial robots perform recurring handling, assembly, packaging and production tasks and reduce physically demanding or monotonous activities in daily operations.
The appropriate technology depends on factors such as cycle times, safety concepts and the existing production and IT infrastructure.
Benefits
- Automation of recurring process steps
- Support for handling and assembly
- Reduced physically demanding tasks
- Flexible integration into production processes
Retail, Hospitality and Service
Service robots support information, transport and service tasks. In retail, robotic applications are also used for inventory counting and stock monitoring.
Relevant factors include the specific application area, required functions, spatial conditions and integration into existing service and IT processes.
Benefits
- Automation of information and service processes
- Reduced workload for recurring tasks
- New interaction options for customers and guests
- Flexible integration into existing service processes
