HANGING GARMENT PICKING AGV CHALLENGE
Inditex’s online sales have grown significantly over the last 10 years and now represents 26% of its total sales. This progress, although substantial, poses important logistical challenges.

We are seeking for innovative solutions to further automate and optimize this process. If your proposal is selected, you will have the opportunity to access to a pilot implementation with a budget of up to €300,000.
