Logistics automation in Europe is expanding through the deployment of specialized robotics for returns management. management and warehouse operations. The startup Sereact has deployed two-armed robots to sort fashion returns for Zalando at CEVA Logistics sites in Greven, Germany, and Świebodzin, Poland. These systems utilize Sereact’s Cortex physical AI platform, which allows the robots platform to identify, grasp, identify and sort unpredictable or poorly packed items without requiring pre-programmed SKU profiles. This deployment follows via a Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) model model. Automation efforts have further scaled with Zalando and is part of logistics provider GXO unveiling a broader initiative 300 million euro technological facility in Montereau-sur-le-Jard, France. Spanning over 200,000 square meters, the site utilizes fourth-generation automation, including robotic picking cells and advanced sorting systems, to manage up to 16 million fashion items for the French and Belgian markets. In the retail sector, testing is underway for humanoid robots to automate returns management across European facilities. The technology shelf restocking. In Denmark, the Salling Group is partnering with startup Hive Robots to test Unitree-manufactured machines in Føtex supermarkets near Copenhagen. Human operators currently guide these robots to train their AI, with the objective of achieving autonomous nighttime restocking by early 2027. These technological shifts are generally intended to reduce physical strain on workers by workers, transitioning staff toward supervision and roles in supervision, quality control roles. control, or customer service.
