Revolution in autonomous logistics with wheel.me at Sirris
In a world where automation is becoming increasingly important, it is essential to embrace innovative solutions.
As a leading research centre, Sirris Kortrijk understood this and chose the wheel.me Genius 2 module as its next step in advanced intralogistics automation.
Thanks to this collaboration with HUPICO, the technology not only gets a place in a high-tech environment, but also becomes visible to numerous Belgian companies striving for more efficient processes.
Sirris has built its own setup integrating the wheel.me solution into an intralogistics process.
Combined with a Karakuri rack, the AMR (Autonomous Mobile Robot) performs various logistics operations:
- From the loading station, the AMR autonomously moves to the pick and place point.
- Parts are transported from pre-assembly to the assembly point.
- The operator can smoothly pick up the parts and get straight to work.
- The finished product is delivered autonomously to the provided warehouse.

Intelligent, autonomous and efficient
This successful implementation shows that the Genius 2 effortlessly cooperates in a dynamic environment. The technology proves its worth by detecting objects and sudden hazards and moving safely through complex workspaces. Thanks to its smart operation, the AMR automatically returns to the charging station during rest periods, so it is always ready for use.
Reliability proven in practice
During a recent open house at Sirris' lab, wheel.me proved its stability and reliability. Despite the crowds and many visitors, the robot continued to navigate without any problems and performed optimally.
Christophe Michiels, Senior Engineer Smart and Digital Factory at Sirris testifies:
‘The Genius 2 is doing its job. We saw this during the open day in our lab, for example. A challenging environment because of all the visitors. Even with so many participants, it kept navigating smoothly. Robotically, everything went perfectly!’
Met deze succesvolle case bij Sirris bevestigt wheel.me zijn potentieel als flexibele en efficiënte automatiseringsoplossing. Bij HUPICO kijken we ernaar uit om nog meer bedrijven te helpen bij hun transitie naar slimme, autonome logistieke processen.
