Cognibotics and Boozt team up for advanced autostore automation

Nordic e-commerce leader Boozt has launched a pilot of Cognibotics’ HKM1800 material-handling robot, aiming to accelerate AutoStore-connected pick-to-pack operations. The initiative targets fewer manual touches, faster operator onboarding, and higher throughput, key challenges in today’s tight labour market and seasonal volume peaks.

“Automation isn’t only about cost; it keeps operations running when demand spikes,” said Fredrik Malmgren, CEO of Cognibotics. “Our Juliet & Romeo software simplifies integration, and the HKM1800 enables true no-touch handling at the pick-to-pack station. Boozt can deploy faster and ship more orders per hour with consistent quality.”

“This pilot is a major milestone,” Fredrik continued. “Together with Boozt, we are merging picking and packing to lift speed and efficiency, creating a strong business case for large-scale e-commerce logistics. The world’s fastest robot in the world’s largest AutoStore.”

Tobias Sjölin, CTO Fulfillment at Boozt said, “I’ve been all over the world looking for robot arms. HKM1800 is in a class of its own. If the pilot delivers as expected, this becomes a scalable building block for future growth.”

In Boozt’s high-volume environment, HKM1800 connects seamlessly to AutoStore using advanced vision and high-speed tool-change capabilities. The robot moves items directly from bin to polybag or box, or both independent, boosting order-line throughput while preserving layout flexibility.
