About Filics Unit

Filics Unit is Filics’ autonomous double-runner system for moving pallets at floor level in warehouses and production facilities. Two mechanically separate robots synchronise their movements, enter underneath a pallet and lift it directly from the floor. Omnidirectional travel and entry from either side reduce the space needed for transport and handovers in constrained industrial layouts.

Filics redesigned the hardware and software for its March 2026 generation after initial customer projects in 2025. Revised lifting modules, laser-scanner placement and navigation software improved its operation in tight layouts. The generation was presented for Euro-pallet transport, with other load carriers and automated truck loading identified as development work. Standalone operation and planned VDA 5050 links provided different integration paths for customer installations.
