Lund, Sweden — Dec 23, 2025. Nordic e-commerce leader Boozt has launched a pilot of Cognibotics’ HKM1800 material-handling robot, aiming to accelerate AutoStore-connected pick-to-pack operations. The initiative targets fewer manual touches, faster operator onboarding, and higher throughput, key challenges in today’s tight labor market and seasonal volume peaks.
“Automation isn’t only about cost; it keeps operations running when demand spikes,” said Fredrik Malmgren, CEO, Cognibotics. “Our Juliet & Romeo® software simplifies integration, and the HKM1800 enables true no-touch handling at the pick-to-pack station. Boozt can deploy faster and ship more orders per hour with consistent quality.”
“This pilot is a major milestone,” Malmgren continued. “Together with Boozt, we are merging picking and packing to lift speed and efficiency, creating a strong business case for large-scale e-commerce logistics. The world’s fastest robot in the world’s largest AutoStore.”

"I’ve been all over the world looking for robot arms. HKM1800 is in a class of its own. If the pilot delivers as expected, this becomes a scalable building block for future growth,” said Tobias Sjölin, CTO Fulfillment, Boozt.
In Boozt’s high-volume environment, HKM1800 connects seamlessly to AutoStore using advanced vision and high-speed tool-change capabilities. The robot moves items directly from bin to polybag or box, or both independently, boosting order-line throughput while preserving layout flexibility (link).
Use case: AutoStore-linked pick-to-pack (multi-SKU order handling, tote presentation, item transfer, packing hand-off).
Robot: Cognibotics HKM1800 - long-reach, high-speed arm with Juliet & Romeo® software enabling fast item-handling changes and precise motion control.
Integration: Compatible with existing AutoStore flows, vision, and tooling; modular cell fits current pack-wall designs.
Expected results: Higher output per hour, consistent shift-to-shift output, and scalable capacity for Boozt’s growing volumes.
HKM1800 closes the gap between AutoStore and packing. Boozt gains elastic peak capacity without adding proportional headcount, plus a copy-exact automation cell ready for large-scale rollout.
