Zalando Deploys AI Robots to Solve Shoebox Picking
Zalando is piloting and scaling warehouse robots from Nomagic to address longstanding picking challenges with shoeboxes. Nomagic’s Physical AI platform trains on real operational data to enable adaptive robotic picking; the new “Shoebox Picker” uses AI-driven computer vision and specialized two-sided grippers to detect, fix and lift shoeboxes without dislodging loose lids. Around 50 robots are planned across Zalando pack centers after a pilot that reached peaks of 100,000 picks per day. Initial deployments are live in Lahr, Mönchengladbach and Verona, with further rollouts planned for Rotterdam, Stockholm, Paris and a new site in Gießen.
