Supply chain robotics company Symbotic announced the acquisition of sorting technology company cellumation GmbH of Bremen, Germany; the transaction terms were not disclosed. The company has more than 70 employees and developed the software-driven sorting technology celluveyor. celluveyor consists of hundreds of independently controlled omnidirectional units that can determine the destination of goods while moving them. Symbotic says the technology can achieve higher throughput in a smaller space and has already been applied in real deployments by postal, e-commerce and logistics operators. After the acquisition, cellumation will continue to operate under its own name from its Bremen headquarters and serve existing customers; celluveyor is sold both directly to customers and other integrators and integrated into Symbotic's solutions. Reports say the founding team Thamer and CTO Claudio Uriarte will remain and continue to lead the company's operations, and the acquisition also helps Symbotic's expansion in Europe.
