What Gobotty does

Gobotty B.V. is a Dutch private limited company founded in 2018 and headquartered in Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht, Netherlands. The company provides Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) solutions for internal logistics automation, delivered exclusively through a Robotisering as a Service (RaaS) subscription model. Gobotty originated from two industrial automation firms — VMB Automation (control engineering) and Dutch Machine Factory (special machine building) — and was carved out as a standalone legal entity approximately 1.5 years prior to 2025 in order to provide a single customer-facing point of contact. Operations remain exclusively domestic, serving mid-market and enterprise customers across the Netherlands.

Gobotty's technology stack centers on LiDAR-based autonomous navigation, AI-driven route optimization, and VDA 5050-compliant multi-vendor interoperability. The product portfolio includes indoor AMRs for pallet, box, crate, cart, and piece-goods transport (payloads 60–1,500 kg, towing capacity up to 1,300 kg); the Induros outdoor AMR for uneven terrain; the Rainos autonomous irrigation robot; and the Inspectos inspection/monitoring robot. The proprietary Fleetmanager software orchestrates multi-robot fleets and connects directly to customer ERP, WMS, and MES systems; the Smartbox integration module bridges existing applications to the AMR fleet. On-premise data storage is positioned as a security differentiator relative to foreign AMR vendors. The company holds CE marking compliance and aligns with ISO 3691-4 driverless industrial truck standards.

Commercially, Gobotty runs a direct, consultative field-sales motion — site visits, tailored proposals, and pilot deployments — supplemented by SEO content marketing, an interactive ROI calculator, a podcast presence, and active participation in Dutch industry trade shows. Pricing starts from approximately €2,100 per robot per month under an all-inclusive rental that covers hardware, installation, training, maintenance, spare parts, and support. Documented customer outcomes include ~€60,000 in annual savings per replaced manned forklift per shift, multi-shift savings reaching ~€200,000, and payback periods under 12 months. Solution Partner status within the OMRON Innovation Network and an exclusive Dutch distribution partnership with Innok Robotics underpin the technology stack. Named customers span component manufacturing, tire retreading, postal services, floriculture, and plant trading.

Revenue model

1. Robotisering as a Service (RaaS) — Monthly Robot Rental: Gobotty's primary revenue stream is a all-inclusive monthly rental fee for AMR robots. The fee covers the robot hardware, delivery, installation, training, maintenance, spare parts, and support. There are no high upfront capital expenditures for customers. Pricing is fixed per month and provides full cost predictability.
2. Per-Hour AMR Robot Usage: In some contexts, Gobotty also quotes pricing on a per-hour basis (approximately €10 per hour at 40 hours per week, 52 weeks), enabling customers to compare directly against labor costs.

Core offering

Gobotty rents Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) for internal logistics automation under a Robotisering as a Service (RaaS) monthly subscription model, covering hardware, delivery, installation, training, maintenance, spare parts, and support. The robots autonomously transport pallets, boxes, crates, piece goods, and carts within manufacturing facilities, warehouses, greenhouses, and outdoor industrial sites using LiDAR navigation and AI-driven route optimization, with no fixed infrastructure (floor lines, reflectors, or tracks) required. The offering is supported by the proprietary Fleetmanager software for multi-robot coordination and integration with customer ERP, WMS, and MES systems.

Product overview

Gobotty offers a portfolio of Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) solutions under a Robotisering as a Service (RaaS) rental model. The core offering consists of AMR robots for internal logistics automation (pallets, boxes, crates, goods transport), supported by the Fleetmanager platform for fleet coordination and system integration with ERP/WMS/MES. Complementary products include the Smartbox integration module for seamless application connectivity, and specialized outdoor robots (Induros for cargo transport, Rainos for irrigation, Inspectos for monitoring). The OL 450-S represents a new AI-enhanced AMR for order picking operations. All solutions are available exclusively through rental rather than purchase.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR): MiR is the most direct competitor: a Danish-headquartered manufacturer of autonomous mobile robots for internal logistics in manufacturing and warehousing. Both sell LiDAR-based AMRs targeting pallet, box, and cart transport under a rental/buy model — closely aligned product, customer, and business model.
• Geek+: Chinese-founded global AMR vendor offering mobile robots for warehousing, picking, and material handling. Direct product overlap with Gobotty's indoor transport and order-picking use cases, with a much broader international scale.
• Innok Robotics: German manufacturer of outdoor autonomous mobile robots (Induros line). Gobotty is Innok's official Dutch partner; Innok is therefore both partner and adjacent competitor in outdoor industrial-yard and horticulture transport.
• Agilox: Austrian AMR manufacturer specializing in swarm-intelligence-guided autonomous vehicles for warehouse and production logistics. Targets the same European mid-market manufacturing customer base as Gobotty with comparable indoor transport use cases.
• Locus Robotics: Locus Robotics builds AMR fleets optimized for order picking and warehouse fulfillment (goods-to-person). A direct category competitor with a substantial RaaS-style subscription model, though focused on e-commerce/3PL picking rather than Gobotty's manufacturing transport emphasis.
• OTTO Motors (Clearpath Robotics): OTTO Motors produces heavy-payload AMRs for material handling in manufacturing and warehouse environments. Competes in the same indoor pallet/cart transport category, though with a stronger North American footprint.

Emerging players

• inVia Robotics: inVia provides AMR-based goods-to-person fulfillment solutions sold as a subscription service to e-commerce warehouses. Comparable RaaS commercial model though focused primarily on US-based 3PL and retail customers.

Broad incumbents

• KUKA: KUKA is a broad industrial robotics incumbent with an AMR/mobile platform portfolio alongside its traditional articulated robots. Overlaps with Gobotty on factory-floor material handling but serves much larger enterprise customers globally.
• Fetch Robotics (Zebra Technologies): Fetch Robotics, now part of Zebra Technologies, offers a portfolio of warehouse AMRs. Comparable in indoor transport functionality, with the backing of a large incumbent providing broader enterprise reach than Gobotty.
• OMRON (LD/HD series AMRs): OMRON is both a technology partner and a competing AMR manufacturer. Its LD-series and HD-series autonomous mobile robots serve the same indoor material-handling use cases globally. Gobotty operates as an OMRON Solution Partner, so OMRON sits both above and beside it in the market.
