KION: the RoCaP case-picker runs in a ROSSMANN warehouse
Where it stands: KION has delivered its Robotic Case Picker, an autonomous industrial case-picking robot called RoCaP, to a ROSSMANN regional warehouse in October 2026. It also demonstrated physical-AI warehouse automation aimed at faster deployments at NVIDIA GTC Berlin 2026. The available account comes from a single press release and gives no throughput, reliability or scale figures, so the operational impact is not yet established.
