SSI RackBot 1
SSI SchaeferThe SSI RackBot 1 is an Autonomous Case-handling Robot (ACR) system developed by SSI SCHAEFER, a family-owned global intralogistics provider. It is a goods-to-person warehouse automation solution featuring ClimbBots capable of climbing and driving within rack systems up to 12 meters high, transporting up to 9 bins simultaneously, and operating 24/7 without human task intervention. The system integrates with SSI SCHAEFER's WAMAS WMS and scales from a few thousand to over 100,000 bin locations, with typical go-live timelines of 6–8 months. All autonomy claims originate from vendor/official sources; no independent third-party teardowns or community reviews were present in the supplied facts.

Evidence-graded claims from the SSI Schaefer deep report
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.
from SSI Schaefer deep report →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.
from SSI Schaefer deep report →
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 →
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.
