The team behind NEO
NEO is the warehouse-automation platform from NEOintralogistics for existing shelf-based warehouses. We make warehouse automation accessible to companies that want to leverage their current infrastructure - no new building, no multi-million investment, no years of planning.
Mission
Most warehouses in the DACH region are shelf-based (Fachbodenregal). Traditional automation solutions require purpose-built facilities - shuttle systems, cube-based AS/RS, or goods-to-person installations that demand specially designed buildings. That excludes the majority of companies from automation.
NEOintralogistics was founded to solve exactly this problem. Our platform NEO:os controls autonomous mobile robots (AMR) directly inside existing shelf warehouses - between the same racks, on the same floors, with the same inventory. No reconstruction. No downtime. Automation that goes live in weeks, not years.
Our goal: Every company with an existing shelf warehouse should have access to warehouse automation.
