Partnership with Rainbow Dynamics for goods-to-person AS/RS integrations

The companies said their collaboration was based on a shared approach to warehouse automation, with an emphasis on modular engineering, practical implementation and investment returns. Valor’s existing Qliqflow platform uses standardised components that can be configured around operational requirements and expanded as capacity needs change. The addition of RackBot extends this approach to automated storage and retrieval.

Gerby Maas, managing director of Valor, said the company had sought a goods-to-person system compatible with its existing engineering approach. Jaap Vos, GM – UK & Europe at Rainbow Dynamics, said the partnership would combine RackBot’s storage and retrieval capabilities with Valor’s material handling and integration expertise. The companies plan to develop customer-specific systems connecting storage, retrieval, transport, picking and downstream warehouse processes. The agreement expands Valor’s range of automation technologies, allowing it to address both person-to-goods and goods-to-person applications.
