Guess Enhances European Fulfillment With Exotec's Robotic System
Guess is enhancing its logistics capabilities by integrating robotic automation into its European fulfillment network. GXO, the contract logistics provider managing three warehouses for Guess since 2017, has deployed 127 Skypod robots from warehouse robotics company Exotec at a distribution center in Venlo, Netherlands. This system supports efficient handling of seasonal inventory and prepares to launch e-commerce fulfillment across key European markets. The automated solution combines the Skypods with storage locations, picking stations, and conveyor systems, enabling high throughput during peak periods. The upgrade allows Guess to manage increased volume without overhauling its warehouse infrastructure. GXO designed this system specifically for fashion logistics challenges—handling thousands of SKUs while maintaining speed across multiple sales channels. According to Exotec, the robots can move at up to four meters per second and operate in extreme temperatures. This deployment has already improved efficiency, reducing processing times significantly and enhancing overall organization within the facility.
