With Poland, we are now entering one of Europe’s fastest-growing and most dynamic manufacturing and logistics markets. To meet the enormous industrial demand there for true automation in brownfield environments from day one, we’re taking a unique approach: We’re announcing our market entry not with just one, but with two outstanding integration partners right from the start.
With AiQ Robotics and octant, we have secured two of the industry’s absolute top experts, who will seamlessly integrate our multi-terrain-capable Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) and our intelligent software ecosystem, InnokCockpit, into existing customer infrastructures.
AiQ Robotics: Deep technical expertise for complex industrial environments
AiQ Robotics is a highly experienced specialist in industrial automation and advanced mobile robotics solutions. The company helps manufacturing and logistics operations make their processes more efficient, safer, and more flexible. In doing so, AiQ Robotics often goes far beyond current market standards. Its range of services extends from advanced drive and control systems to state-of-the-art 3D SLAM navigation in dynamic industrial environments.
It is precisely this technological depth that makes AiQ Robotics the ideal partner for Innok. The team is highly skilled at implementing our systems not only in clean indoor environments but also in the demanding outdoor and brownfield missions for which our hardware is designed. With AiQ Robotics, customers gain a partner that delivers everything from a single source—from the initial needs analysis through system integration to final process optimization.
octant: Customized Autonomy and Intelligent IoT Integration
Our second strong partner for the Polish market is octant. The company specializes in delivering customized, autonomous transport systems and has already earned the trust of blue-chip customers from the U.S., Japan, Finland, Spain, Germany, and China.
octant’s approach aligns seamlessly with our “Physical AI” philosophy. As part of a comprehensive collaboration, octant not only implements our robots but also intelligently connects them with IoT devices and overarching software to ensure maximum efficiency and safety. This holistic approach creates intuitive, user-friendly automation solutions that immediately and measurably improve material flow for end customers.
The Strategic Significance of the Market Entry
Nikolas Rössler, CFO and CCO of Innok Robotics, emphasizes the importance of this dual partner launch:
“Poland is an absolute industrial powerhouse in Europe. Production facilities there are growing enormously, while at the same time, the rampant shortage of skilled workers is noticeably hampering capacity here as well. The demand for automation solutions that can operate outside the factory floor—even on uneven outdoor surfaces—without requiring expensive structural modifications is enormous. To serve this market strategically and effectively, we made a conscious decision to make a strong market entry. With AiQ Robotics and octant, we have two partners on board who combine industrial pragmatism, deep technological expertise, and the highest quality of integration. Together, we’re addressing the skilled labor shortage in Polish industry through fast payback periods and smart automation."
We are very much looking forward to collaborating with AiQ Robotics and octant and to working together to take intralogistics in Poland to the next level.
