An integrated system built for one problem: moving pallets between buildings.
Not an AGV. Not a conveyor extension. A dedicated infrastructure layer —
terminals, closed lane, electric shuttles, fleet software — all working as one.
- No open-road regulation
- Live in 4–6 months
- 1.4-year CAPEX payback
- 99%+ system availability
- Integrates with your WMS / ERP
Fully Automated Cross-Building Pallet Transport
ecoro is engineered to to close the automation gap between buildings from industrial sites to freight networks in the foreseeable future.

Why ecoro deploys in months, not years.
Open-road autonomy waits 3–7 years for homologation in every market. ecoro runs only on closed lanes inside private premises — so it answers to machinery rules, not road law.

The numbers from a real site.
A corrugated packaging manufacturer in the DACH region. Two buildings. 300 pallets per day moving outdoors. A three-forklift operation replaced by the ecoro system.
All figures are actual operational data. Assumptions are stated. Use the calculator to model your own site.
Savings figures are site-specific. Actual results depend on pallet volume, current transport model, site layout, and labor costs. Every site receives a custom assessment before any commercial proposal.
Annual savings
Includes labor, maintenance, insurance, and downtime cost reduction versus the three-forklift baseline.
CAPEX payback period
Full system cost recovered within 17 months at the reference site configuration. Finance-case ready.
OPEX reduction
Total outdoor pallet transport operating cost reduction versus the forklift baseline.
FTEs removed from the route
Forklift operators redeployed to value-adding tasks. Zero redundancies required in the reference case.
Cost per pallet at scale
Versus €1.20–2.40 per pallet with forklift transport. Decreases further as fleet scales.
From signed contract to live system.

What COOs ask before moving forward.
These are the questions we hear most from operations leaders evaluating ecoro. If yours is not here, the 20-minute site assessment answers it for your specific configuration.
Do we need to modify our buildings or existing infrastructure?
No structural building modifications are required. The terminals attach at building entries without requiring internal layout changes. The closed lane is installed on your outdoor premises. The software integrates with your existing WMS without replacing it.
Does the system work in rain, snow, and extreme temperatures?
The fleet is sized for redundancy — if one shuttle is offline, others continue operating the route. Infrastructure-level intelligence means faults are identified before they cause downtime. We target 99%+ system availability, with a defined hypercare protocol for the first six months of every deployment.
What happens if a shuttle breaks down mid-route?
The fleet is sized for redundancy — if one shuttle is offline, others continue operating the route. Infrastructure-level intelligence means faults are identified before they cause downtime. We target 99%+ system availability, with a defined hypercare protocol for the first six months of every deployment.
What certification does the system require?
ecoro operates under the EC Machinery Directive — not public-road AV regulation. CE marking covers the shuttle and infrastructure components. There is no type approval, no jurisdiction-specific licensing, and no homologation process. This is the regulatory advantage of the closed-lane architecture.
What does the full system cost?
A standard two-shuttle system for a single route starts in the €150,000–300,000 CAPEX range depending on route length, terminal configuration, and integration requirements. Annual service contract is €30,000–50,000. The site assessment produces a site-specific commercial proposal — use the calculator for an initial estimate.
How many pallets per day does the system handle?
A single two-shuttle system handles 200–600 pallets per day depending on route distance and pallet cycle time. Multi-shuttle and multi-route configurations scale capacity further. The 200+ pallets/day threshold is the minimum for a strong business case — below this, the payback period extends beyond 2 years.
What about safety around people in the yard?
The closed lane operates with fixed infrastructure sensors that provide full situational awareness. The shuttle detects obstacles in real time and stops automatically — resuming when the path is clear. The system is designed and certified according to current safety standards and is approved for operation in environments where people are present.
We already have forklifts — what happens to them?
In the reference case, three forklift operators were redeployed to value-adding tasks — no redundancies were required. Forklifts used exclusively on the automated route can be reallocated or returned if leased. The transition is phased to ensure operational continuity throughout.
Want to know what this means for your site?
No sales pressure. No commitment at this stage. Just a clear picture of what automated outdoor pallet transport means for your site.
