Mobile robots for the Print Industry
All the ingredients for a complete print shop solution
One robotics solution for any carrier
Endless transport opportunities for print production
The revolutionizing mobile robot technology we built for the Print Industry is now the most robust multi-carrier platform for endless possibilities when it comes to material handling in any print shop, even when space is scarce. All robots are based on the same proven technology, allowing for quick customization of robot layout to meet all shop floor demands.
Automating the Print shop floor
The Ŝharko5 Platform is a complete mobile robotics solution to move standard pallets, B2 pallets, trolleys, carts, roll containers, Rolls (reels) and many more in general commercial print, label and packaging printing. The Ŝharko5 mobile robot technology evolved into a tried and tested base to serve as a platform for for any carrier on the print shop floor.
The Ŝharko5 platform not only offers a robotics platform, but also comprises high level services, intelligent software and system integration for automated production logistics.
The Ŝharko5 platform keeps your operators focused at your presses and best of all, your fleet of Ŝharkos work all day and night and even on weekends, extending your workforce without extending your labor costs.

The Ŝharko5HH or Hammerhead earned its name because (from a birds eye view) it has the outline of a hammer, and a Hammerhead is a shark variety. The hammerhead is especially designed to transport trolleys, rolleys, dollies, roll containers and racks. The single fork can be customized allowing the robot to pick up very narrow trolleys. Because it too is omnidirectional it can turn on the spot within its own length and move sideways. Also available with a maximum payload capacity of 1.000Kg; the HH+.
