Movu Robotics has installed 10 atlas pallet shuttles, three elevators and four Escala bin shuttles at Knorr-Bremse’s plant in Lisieux, France.

Movu's automation solutions are tailored to enhance Knorr-Bremse's production efficiency by optimising warehouse automation processes for greater flexibility and responsiveness. Positioned directly upstream of the production lines, these solutions enable real-time parts replenishment, ensuring minimal downtime.

Delta+ Consulting facilitated this project in collaboration with Knorr-Bremse and Movu Robotics. The project's go-live for the installation is scheduled for early 2026.

Stéphane Devulder, managing director of Knorr-Bremse France, said: “At Knorr-Bremse, we are always innovating to keep our manufacturing and logistic processes efficient and reliable, especially in the automotive industry, where precision is key. This advanced installation will feature two powerful systems working together: the Movu atlas, with space for 5,000 pallets managed by 10 shuttles and 3 elevators, and the Movu escala, handling up to 2,500 bins with 4 shuttles.”

Benjamin Letarouilly, managing director at Delta+ Consulting, said: “With the Movu Atlas and Movu Escala systems working together, we have designed an integrated, modular solution to meet Knorr-Bremse's needs. This configuration will handle small parts as well as large volumes, ensuring continuous, real-time supply to production lines. Our priority is efficiency and reactivity to meet industrial challenges.”

Francisco Vinals, sales director at Movu Robotics, said: “These solutions are designed to operate seamlessly, meeting their demand for reliable low-volume and high-volume part handling.”
