Quicktron Robotics, a Chinese provider of mobile robotics in intralogistics, is introducing its M5F tote-transport robot in Germany. The compact robot has been specifically designed for tight warehouse environments and dynamic workflows and is now part of the company's modular "Quickbin+" solution. The M5F aims to optimize warehouse density, throughput, and operating costs with speed, precision, and energy efficiency.
The mobile warehouse robot has a battery life of 11 hours, acceleration rates of 2 m/s², and a maximum speed of 4.5 m/s. Its equipment allows continuous operation without intermediate charging, according to the manufacturer. The system uses QR codes for position tracking with ±10 mm accuracy and is able to autonomously detect and avoid obstacles thanks to inertia sensors.
Combined Use with Other AMRs
As part of the "Quickbin+" platform, the M5F can be flexibly combined with other robot types –
for example, with the C56 tote-grabbing robot, which serves shelves up to 12 meters high. In this configuration, the solution enables double-depth storage along the aisles.
Due to its horizontal transport capability and a special curve-driving mechanism, the M5F works efficiently even in dense warehouse layouts. According to the manufacturer, the agile navigation allows the number of required robots to be reduced by up to 40 percent.
"Our strong focus on research & development has produced a faster, more agile, and more efficient robot that further reduces warehouse and intralogistics costs and improves our QuickBin+ solution. The integration of the new M5F into QuickBin+ allows for savings of 50 to 60 percent in labor costs and provides a scalable, flexible, and future-proof solution that can adapt to the changing demands of businesses," said Yang Wei, CEO and Founder of Quicktron Robotics.
The M5F was presented at ProMat in Chicago in March 2025 and is now available to European customers. The solution is aimed at companies in sectors such as e-commerce, food, manufacturing, and healthcare that want to automate their warehouse processes while reducing operating costs.
Quicktron Robotics at Omnichannel Retailer Radial
Quicktron Robotics was founded in 2014 in Shanghai, China. The European branch is located in Darmstadt. According to the company, more than 30,000 robots are deployed worldwide, including over 1,000 AGVs in a single warehouse. Since 2020, there has been a sales partnership with the Kion Group. The agreement provides for the global distribution of Quicktron products through the worldwide sales and service networks of the Kion brands Linde Material Handling, Still, and Dematic.
Among other implementations, Dematic deployed 299 Autonomous Mobile Robots from Quicktron for the omnichannel retailer Radial in
2023. Radial is a member of the bpost Group and primarily uses the AMRs for processing e-commerce orders in the textiles sector.
The Dematic solution at Radial includes three types of AMRs: First, Palletto picker robots transport pallets from the entry to a large storage area. From there, they are transported to the transfer stations and the shelves of the picking stations at the packing stations. Afterwards, the same process runs in reverse. Additionally, bin-to-picker AMRs take care of storing pallets in an automated high-bay warehouse and transporting them to the picking stations for fulfilling split-case orders, which consist of a variety of individual products or item variants. For this, the shelf system has a capacity of around 65,000 storage locations. Finally, order-shelf transport robots take over the transportation of orders on a multi-level shelf, which are then delivered to the
