NEOintralogistics, a German robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) provider, has closed a €3 million seed funding round, led by the Amadeus APEX Technology Fund with participation from Cetus Holding. ## Accessible Automation The need for accessible automation solutions continues to grow. While automation can deliver significant operational cost savings, adoption has been constrained by high upfront investment requirements. As a result, many warehouses worldwide continue to operate manually, with cost barriers limiting automation primarily to large operators. ## NEOintralogistics' Solution NEOintralogistics aims to address this gap by making warehouse automation more affordable, scalable, and faster to deploy. Its robotic picking system is designed for both brownfield and greenfield warehouses and can be implemented within weeks rather than months or years. Through a pay-per-pick model, automation shifts from a capital expenditure to a flexible, performance-based service. Michael Drodofsky, co-founder of NEOintralogistics, said the company is focused on reducing the cost and complexity that have traditionally limited access to warehouse automation. The RaaS model removes the need for costly infrastructure or warehouse redesigns, allowing customers to integrate the system into existing shelving and realise efficiency gains more quickly. The company’s solution is designed to be more flexible and cost-efficient than traditional automation systems and can significantly reduce reliance on manual labour. NEOintralogistics is already working with industry partners, including Magazino, Jungheinrich, GLS, and BITO. ## Future Plans The funding will be used to support commercial expansion and customer acquisition, further product development, growth of research and development capabilities, and team expansion, particularly in engineering and operations.
