SSI Cuby is a single-level automated storage shuttle system manufactured by SSI SCHAEFER, designed for high-density goods-to-person warehouse automation. Each system consists of a rack, lifts, one shuttle per storage level, and is controlled by WAMAS software. It handles containers and cartons up to 35 kg, supports double-deep storage, and has been deployed in multiple large-scale installations across Europe and Australia (e.g., Apotea in Sweden with 174 shuttles/87,000 locations, Gémo in France with 204 shuttles/81,600 locations). The system was re-launched in 2021 with increased travel speeds and a new design. Several extracted facts relate to unrelated systems (CubiX wire-driven robot, Scurid DID authentication, CubeRobot Rubik's solver, Radxa Cubie A7Z SBC, Kubesail PiBox) and are not relevant to SSI Cuby.

Evidence-graded claims from the SSI Schaefer deep report

Good
  • SSI SCHAEFER's AGVs, AMRs, shuttle systems, and FastBots perform core intralogistics tasks (storage, retrieval, transport, picking) autonomously without human teleoperation.

    Multiple independent trade and news sources confirm operational three-shift, resource-independent deployments at Ostendorf (Germany), Coop (Switzerland), Schaeffler Katowice (Poland), and CERP Wissous (France) [11][13][15][32], with no evidence of human teleoperation performing the core tasks.

  • CERP's new Wissous facility (opening October 2026) will feature 15,000 m², 30,000 SKUs, and 90,000+ shuttle positions integrated by SSI SCHAEFER.

    Independent trade publications ITJ and Supply News [13][15] both report these specific figures for the CERP Wissous project, corroborating the vendor's own announcement [4]; however, the facility has not yet opened as of the dossier date.

    from SSI Schaefer deep report →
  • Schaeffler is building an automated logistics center in Katowice, Poland, integrating SSI SCHAEFER AMRs, AGVs, and conveyor technology.

    Independent logistics trade outlet Loginfo24 [11] independently reports the Schaeffler Katowice deployment with AMR/AGV/conveyor integration, confirming a real-world project beyond vendor PR.

Bad
  • The SSI Pallet Roaming Shuttle operates in cold environments down to -25°C with approximately 80% availability compared to ambient temperature operation.

    This specification was relayed by trade press covering the product launch [14] but originates from vendor claims; no independent cold-environment operational data or third-party validation has been identified.

    from SSI Schaefer deep report →
  • SSI SCHAEFER applies AI to product development and operational processes, with internal AI guidelines predating the EU AI Act and an emphasis on explainability.

    This claim rests entirely on SSI SCHAEFER's own company blog [2]; no independent audit, regulatory filing, or third-party assessment of their AI governance practices has been identified.

    from SSI Schaefer deep report →
  • SSI SCHAEFER's SSI Piece Picking robotic solution is a production-ready, commercially deployed system for automated piece picking.

    The solution is showcased in a vendor YouTube video [25] and mentioned alongside FastBots at SITL 2026 [16], but no independent customer deployment report or third-party performance validation has been identified in the dossier.

    from SSI Schaefer deep report →
Ugly
  • SSI SCHAEFER's FastBots solution achieves 10,000 packages/hour throughput and 5x space efficiency versus existing approaches.

    These figures originate solely from SSI SCHAEFER's own presentation at the SITL 2026 world premiere [16]; no independent deployment data, customer validation, or third-party test exists to substantiate either metric.
