Scallog • Automated warehouse • Goods-to-person

Scallog goods-to-person automated warehouse: Boby robots bring goods to the operator.

Automated warehouse solution distributed in Italy by PITECH. The Boby robots lift mobile shelves and bring them to the picking stations: the operator stays put and picks, with up to 3x higher picking productivity. The modular FLEXIPICK system is reconfigurable, runs 24/7 and is orchestrated by the Scallog WCS® and RMS® software.

Scallog / goods-to-person automated warehouse

Goods go to the operator, not the other way round.

Manufacturer: ScallogScallog — represented and distributed in Italy by PITECH Industrial Solution

FLEXIPICK is Scallog's goods-to-person ("goods to man") automated warehouse solution: the Boby robots bring mobile shelves directly to the picking stations, eliminating the operator's long walks. The system is modular and scalable — you add robots, shelves and stations as volumes grow — and integrates with your systems through the Scallog WCS® and RMS® software. Scallog, headquartered in Nanterre (France), has 11 years of goods-to-person experience. PITECH supports sizing, ROI estimation and the project, with technical-commercial support in Italy.

Scallog Boby — the robot that brings the shelf to the operator

The Boby slides under the mobile shelf, lifts it and carries it to the picking station, then returns it. It handles up to 600 kg, travels up to 1.5 m/s and works 14 hours in a row; when low it docks by itself at the charging station, ensuring 24/7 continuity.

  • Type: goods-to-person robot for mobile shelves
  • Capacity: up to 600 kg
  • Dimensions: 1000 × 650 × 450 mm
  • Speed: 1.5 m/s empty; 1.2 m/s loaded
  • Runtime: 14 h continuous; 2h30 recharge; 24/7
  • Navigation: optical sensor on guidance strip (160 mm × 1 mm)
  • Productivity: up to 600 picks/hour per operator

The full FLEXIPICK system: mobile shelves, stations and WCS® + RMS® software

Scallog's value is not just the robot, but the FLEXIPICK system: single- or double-sided mobile shelves in 800, 1200 and 2500 mm sizes, ergonomic multi-operator picking stations, and the Scallog WCS® and Scallog RMS® software. WCS® optimises picking, replenishment and inventory and integrates via APIs with ERP/WMS; RMS® manages the fleet in real time: path planning, traffic, 24/7 charging, workstation queues and simulation. The guidance lines require no floor anchoring, route around obstacles such as pillars and expansion joints and are easy to replace; to exploit height, mezzanine configurations and the Scallog Under Rack mode are available, with robots operating under traditional racking.

  • Mobile shelves: single- or double-sided, 800/1200/2500 mm — ideal for cosmetics, footwear, textile and small parts
  • Picking stations: ergonomic, multi-operator, pick-to-light visual guidance
  • Scallog WCS®: picking, replenishment and inventory optimisation; ERP/WMS APIs and dashboards
  • Scallog RMS®: real-time fleet management — path planning, traffic and maps, 24/7 charging, task allocation, simulation, CE safety
  • Guidance lines: no floor anchoring, route around obstacles, easy to install and replace
  • Height use: mezzanine and Scallog Under Rack mode
  • Scalability: add robots, shelves and stations over time
How it works

The goods-to-person cycle in 4 steps.

The principle flips traditional picking: the operator doesn't look for goods — the goods reach the operator.

1 · Order

Scallog WCS® receives the order from the WMS/ERP and computes which shelves are needed and with what priority.

2 · The robot fetches the shelf

The Boby slides under the right mobile shelf, lifts it and brings it to the station.

3 · Picking at the station

The operator, standing at an ergonomic station, picks guided by the display; fewer errors and less fatigue.

4 · Return and optimisation

The robot returns the shelf and fetches another; Scallog RMS® continuously optimises the fleet's routes.

Benefits

Why choose a goods-to-person warehouse.

Productivity, ergonomics and flexibility

Scallog FLEXIPICK goods-to-person multiplies picking productivity up to 3x and speeds up reverse logistics up to 8x, by removing walking time and reducing errors. It cuts storage space by up to 30% and on average about 70% of direct labour, while improving ergonomics (the operator works standing at a station). It is modular and scalable: start with a few robots and grow with volumes, including seasonal peaks; the guidance lines require no floor anchoring, so the layout can be reconfigured without heavy works, with an average on-site installation of about 1 month (2-3 weeks for standard systems). PITECH helps assess volumes, ROI and the growth plan.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about the Scallog automated warehouse

How does a Scallog goods-to-person automated warehouse work?

Instead of having the operator walk among the shelves, the Boby robots lift mobile shelves and bring them directly to the picking station (goods-to-person, or "goods to man"). The operator stays at the station and picks; the Scallog WCS® and RMS® software assign missions to the robots and optimise routes. The result is less travel, fewer errors and up to 3x higher picking productivity.

How much does the Boby robot lift and how long does it run?

The Boby handles mobile shelves up to 600 kg, measures 1000×650×450 mm, travels at 1.5 m/s empty (1.2 m/s loaded) and runs 14 hours with a 2h30 recharge. It docks by itself at the charging station when low, for 24/7 operation.

Do I need to rebuild the warehouse or can it be reconfigured?

No: the optical guidance lines require no floor anchoring, route around obstacles such as pillars and expansion joints, and are easy to install and replace. The layout can be reconfigured and scaled over time, adding robots and shelves according to volumes, without the heavy works of a traditional AS/RS; to exploit height there are mezzanine configurations and the Scallog Under Rack mode, with robots operating under traditional racking.

Does the Scallog system integrate with the software (WMS/ERP)?

Yes. Scallog WCS® (Warehouse Control System) optimises picking, replenishment and inventory, integrates via APIs with ERP/WMS and provides monitoring dashboards; Scallog RMS® (Robot Management System) manages the fleet in real time: path planning, traffic and maps, 24/7 battery charging, task allocation, workstation queues and simulation. Both integrate with the existing WMS/ERP.

What is Scallog FLEXIPICK and how long does installation take?

FLEXIPICK is the name of Scallog's goods-to-person solution: Boby robots, single- or double-sided mobile shelves (800/1200/2500 mm), picking stations and WCS® + RMS® software. On-site installation takes about 1 month on average (2-3 weeks for standard systems), because the guidance lines require no floor anchoring. Scallog counts 80 installations in 10 countries, with 2,000 robots in the field and 11 years of experience.
