Solving Real-World Logistics Complexity
BAUHAUS is a leading home improvement retailer in Europe, operating more than 290 specialty centers across 19 countries. Its Krefeld center handles thousands of inbound shipments daily across over 10,000 SKUs. Cartons vary widely in shape, weight, and stacking, long beyond the reach of conventional automation.
XYZ Robotics addresses this with an end-to-end system. RockyOne autonomously enters shipping containers to unload loose cartons of varied sizes and orientations. As cartons come through, a barcode scanning system identifies each one for real-time sorting. RockyOne SE then builds pallets to customer-defined patterns, creating stable, storage-ready output.
Optimized Workflows Boost Efficiency in Warehouse Operations
Manual container unloading involves repetitive lifting in confined spaces and harsh temperatures, which contributes to high turnover and injury risk. With Rocky robots, operators shift from heavy manual work to supervising the system through a tablet interface. Daily operation is simple and requires minimal training.
"Since going live, the system has run reliably around the clock without manual intervention. Our team can now focus on higher-value work," said Torsten Winter, Vice President Operations (Warehousing & Transport) at BAHAG / BAUHAUS AG. "We are already exploring where else to apply this across our network. With XYZ Robotics, we have a reliable and forward-thinking partner by our side, closely supporting us on this journey."
Following the Krefeld deployment, XYZ Robotics is expanding its European footprint to serve more warehouse and distribution operators, with local teams providing full lifecycle support.

BAUHAUS - The Specialist for Workshops, Homes, and Gardens
As early as 1960, BAUHAUS introduced a new concept to Germany: self-service brand-name products from a wide variety of specialty categories, all offered under one roof. Based on this successful concept, more than 160 specialty centers have been established in Germany. Across Europe, BAUHAUS has over 290 locations in 19 countries. Each specialty center is divided into 15 departments. BAUHAUS has remained true to its core concept-specialty-store quality and product variety at the best prices-to this day and has continuously refined it.
