Hexxabotics is preparing to unveil a new automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS) at LogiMAT 2026, combining autonomous mobile robots with a high-density, hexagonal storage architecture. (See video below.)
The system, described by the company as a “next-gen” AS/RS, is built around a modular honeycomb structure designed to maximize cubic storage density while maintaining accessibility across the grid.
At the core of the system are mobile robots – referred to as “Hexxabots” – that operate within the structure, effectively combining the roles of shuttle and autonomous mobile robot.
Unlike traditional shuttle-based AS/RS systems that rely on fixed rails or levels, the Hexxabotics approach appears to use free-moving robots to transport bins across the hexagonal network.
According to the company, the design enables capacity to scale horizontally, with throughput increasing through the addition of more robots rather than major infrastructure changes.
The system is also designed to operate without in-rack electrification, which could reduce energy consumption and simplify installation compared with conventional high-density storage systems.
Hexxabotics says the architecture is inspired by the efficiency of honeycomb structures found in nature, using a continuous hexagonal grid to optimize space utilization within a given warehouse footprint.
The company highlights several differentiators, including higher storage density, modular scalability, and simplified structural design, while maintaining full access to stored goods.
The system will be officially launched at LogiMAT 2026 in Stuttgart, where Hexxabotics will exhibit in Hall 5, Booth D33.
