What Automha does

Automha S.p.A. is an Italian intralogistics automation specialist founded in 1979 by Franco Togni and headquartered in Azzano San Paolo (Bergamo), Italy, designing and producing automated warehouse and storage systems for the pharmaceutical, food and beverage, fresh and frozen, 3PL, electromechanical, textile, and vertical farming industries. The technology stack centers on multi-depth shuttle-based AS/RS systems — most notably the proprietary Autosatmover mother-vehicle with Supercap satellite architecture — operating at extreme temperatures from -35°C to +55°C, complemented by Rushmover loops, SRM cranes, Miniload systems, and AWMS/SYM warehouse management software. All engineering, production, installation, virtual commissioning, and on-site commissioning are performed in-house, and the 2024 launch of NOVA AI added conversational anomaly interpretation to the AWMS platform.

The business operates a project-based, custom-engineered, turnkey delivery model with revenue streams spanning one-time system sales (hardware and integrated systems), recurring AWMS software licensing, and post-installation services including training, 24/7 support, maintenance, and revamping of existing installations. Distribution runs through a wholly-owned direct enterprise sales organization with subsidiaries in Spain, China, India, Canada, and the USA, serving customers in more than 40 countries. The enterprise customer base includes Aviko, Hershey's, El Pozo, Ben E. Keith, Fruveco, Bellsolà, Mitr Phol, Yili Group, Surecold, and Rothoblaas, concentrated in cold-chain food and beverage. In August 2025, Comau Group S.p.A. completed the acquisition of Automha, making it a wholly-owned subsidiary under Italian corporate law while preserving the Automha brand, leadership, and strategic vision to accelerate global expansion in advanced logistics automation.

Products and services

• Autosatmover Fully automatic shuttle system for multi-depth pallet storage in automated warehouses. Operates on rails perpendicular to storage lanes using Supercap satellites to deposit and retrieve load units. Functions in extreme temperatures from -35°C to +55°C without performance degradation, consuming approximately 3 kW per unit versus 25-30 kW for stacker cranes.
• Supercap Satellite vehicle that detaches from the Autosatmover mother vehicle to deposit or retrieve load units in multi-depth storage positions, then returns to the mother vehicle. Uses supercapacitor technology and operates at temperatures down to -27°C for refrigerated storage applications.
• Autosat Semi-automatic shuttle vehicle for pallet storage and retrieval. Runs on external rails perpendicular to storage lanes, managing multi-depth storage with forklift assistance for loading and unloading.
• AutosatGTR Automated shuttle system for goods-to-person operations, designed for high-density storage applications.
