XPROMA
Precision Automation for Peak Warehouse Performance

No two businesses operate the same way. Their automation systems shouldn’t either.

XPROMA understands that effective automation isn’t about standardisation but customisation. Each company has its workflows, challenges and pace of growth. XPROMA designs solutions that reflect each business’s specific requirements.

From modular sorting systems that scale with seasonal demand to robotics that respond in real-time to fluctuating order volumes, XPROMA builds automation that adapts to the business workflow—not the other way around. Every system it delivers is as unique as the clients it serves.

Whether handling operations of an e-commerce fulfilment centre, a postal facility or an industrial warehouse, XPROMA’s solutions integrate seamlessly into everyday task flow with ease. These solutions are customized using best-in-class standard.

“Our goal is to make our customers’ daily work easier. That’s why we take on new challenges, explore fresh ideas and push past limitations. By working side by side, we shape our futures together,” says Ralf Kolsen, founder and managing director.

At the heart of XPROMA’s ecosystem is CentralX, the company’s proprietary software platform. Acting as the intelligence hub, CentralX ensures all elements—from conveyors and robotic arms to packaging lines and storage units—operate in perfect harmony.

By continuously collecting real-time data from every connected component, CentralX leverages long-term memory and machine learning to optimise performance. It detects workflow inefficiencies, predicts maintenance needs before disruptions occur and fine-tunes processes on the fly. Its advanced deep-learning machine vision can even identify product types and characteristics, enhancing automation capabilities without additional hardware.

Right-Sized Packaging, On Demand

Oversized packaging is one of logistics most persistent inefficiencies. XPROMAs packaging solutions offer smarter alternatives tailored to different operational needs.

For operations using standardized box formats, XPROMAs Jivaro system provides an intelligent height-reduction solution. It automatically adapts the height of each package to its contents by trimming excess cardboard before sealing. This reduces empty space, cuts shipping costs, and supports sustainability goals — all without changing existing packaging formats.

For even greater automation and flexibility, the CVP Impack and CVP Everest systems scan and measure each item to produce a fully customized box on demand. This eliminates the need for void fill, reduces material usage, and maximizes efficiency. The CVP Impack processes up to 500 parcels per hour, while the CVP Everest reaches up to 1,100, thanks to advanced 3D scanning and automated box erecting.

The combined benefits include up to 50% reduction in transport volume, 20% less packaging material, and the replacement of 10 to 20 manual packing stations — all while maintaining high fulfillment speed and minimizing environmental impact.

Store Like a Pro

Every second spent retrieving an item, every inch of wasted space and every inefficient movement adds up. That’s where the proStoreX takes over. It’s like a high-performance engine that keeps your logistics moving faster, smarter and with more precision.

  • True automation isn’t about replacing people—it’s about empowering them with systems that adapt to the way they work


At the core of proStoreX is XPROMA’s in-house stacker cranes, designed to maximise space and speed. Businesses using the system gain up to 80 percent more storage capacity and achieve 30 to 80 percent faster retrieval times—without needing a massive warehouse expansion. It’s flexible enough to handle various bin sizes, product types and mid-level storage up to 6.5 meters, making it adaptable to your unique inventory needs.

This is more than just a storage system. It streamlines logistics—whether acting as a production buffer, kitting solution or order-picking system. The system integrates seamlessly with enterprise resource planning (ERP) and warehouse management platforms (WMS), offering real-time inventory visibility so businesses can make smarter decisions on the fly.

But efficiency alone isn’t enough—proStoreX is also built for sustainability. Its energy-recycling technology works similarly to regenerative braking in electric cars, reusing energy generated during load lowering to minimise power consumption. That means lower energy costs, less waste and a more sustainable operation—all without compromising performance.

With lower labour requirements, fewer picking errors and faster throughput, companies typically see a return on investment within one to three years. Plus, its energy-efficient design means warehouses aren’t just working smarter and running more sustainably.

Smarter Automation, Faster Fulfillment

The goods-to-person technology champions smart collaboration with machines and humans working in synergy for a truly efficient workflow.

“True automation isn’t about replacing people—it’s about empowering them with systems that adapt to the way they work,” says Kolsen.

Instead of pickers spending valuable time walking vast aisles, agile autonomous mobile robots navigate the storage area and deliver the needed shelves directly to stationary workstations. The picker stays put, focusing solely on the task of selecting items quickly and accurately.

This ‘goods-to-person’ method delivers immediate and significant advantages. Unnecessary travel time is virtually eliminated, dramatically boosting labour utilisation and the speed of order processing. Reliability increases, storage density optimises and the picking process becomes far more streamlined.

Implementing this transformative technology is designed to be remarkably straightforward. XPROMA utilises automated guided vehicles that integrate smoothly into most warehouse environments, often requiring minimal infrastructure changes. This modularity is a key benefit, especially for facilities with complex layouts—like those with numerous support pillars— allowing efficient automation across virtually any floor space. The ease of installation and user-friendly interface mean businesses can achieve operational efficiency gains rapidly, often representing a highly cost-effective investment.

Intelligent and Adaptable Sorting Solutions for Peak Efficiency

Sorting isn’t just about moving packages; it’s about setting the pace of your entire logistics operation. XPROMA understands that every business has its own unique rhythm and specific challenges.

For operations where peak performance is non-negotiable, the Cross Belt Sorter rises to the challenge. Engineered for demanding, high-volume environments handling diverse items up to 50kg, it delivers exceptional throughput at 10,000 or more parcels per hour. Its near-perfect accuracy rate of ≥99.99 percent provides crucial operational reliability, drastically minimising costly errors and ensuring smooth, efficient sorting even during the busiest periods.

Intelligence drives further efficiency across the range— deep-learning Singulator systems prevent jams by efficiently separating bulk items at 10,000 and more per hour; the Automated Robotic Parcel Infeed ensures precise, hands-free loading; and the Fast Scan Sorter streamlines workflows by automating scanning, weighing and measuring in one step. For specific needs, ranging from ultra-fast letter sorting to robust pivot wheel applications, precisely tailored technology is available to optimise unique processes.

A recent project exemplifies this ability to adapt to unique challenges. When a logistics facility faced the challenge of increasing sorting capacity within existing space constraints, it turned to XPROMA for a solution. Understanding the urgency, XPROMA engineered a high-density small-parts sorting system that integrated seamlessly into the existing infrastructure. In just a few weeks, the facility was processing over 70,000 shipments per day—effortlessly handling peak-season demand without disruption.
