Knapp Ibérica S.L
About us
We develop and manufacture intelligent warehouse systems using the latest solutions in digitalization, software, automation and robotics. Our company founder Günter Knapp was a visionary inventor, and this remains part of our corporate culture today. His ideas, which solved many of the problems faced by businesses in the fifties, are also still with us. Günter Knapp started the business in Graz in 1952, with just two employees. Since then, the company has grown to become an international group of 7,700 employees with 49 locations all over the world.
With our innovative technologies, we offer everything that companies need for efficient warehouse automation – all from a single source. Despite our size and international orientation, we are still a family-owned business at heart and are proud of our positive corporate culture. Each and every one of us has a different background, qualification and point of view – and that’s a good thing. We place great value on diversity and that is what makes us successful. What unites us is the passion we feel for our daily work: our KNAPP spirit.
Products & services

Open Shuttle Fork
Our Autonomous Mobile Robot for Pallet Transport. The demands on production and distribution are high. Businesses need to react quickly to rapidly changing processes, shortages of qualified personnel and lack of space. Our autonomous mobile robots (AMR) for pallet transport are the ideal first step toward solving these challenges by automating your warehouse. The AMRs keep work stations supplied optimally and flexibly while connecting different warehouse areas with goods-in and goods-out. Furthermore, their impact on the warehouse environment is minimal and they can be installed without any need for construction.
Pick-it-Easy Robot
More than single-item picking. Pick-it-Easy Robot is the right choice, not just for automatic single-item picking but also for the induction of articles in pre-picked batch containers into overhead or sorting systems. Various grippers, AI-based object recognition – the so-called Covariant Brain – and grip point specification mean that the Pick-it-Easy Robot can handle a broad article range, for many applications in diverse sectors. Even when goods have reflective surfaces, the Pick-it-Easy Robot knows exactly where to hold them and gently places them exactly where they belong. Machine learning means that the system is continuously learning and improving itself.

Open Shuttle
Autonomous mobile robot for transport within facilities. Can transport processes within a facility run flexibly? Of course they can. With the Open Shuttles, it’s easy. These autonomous mobile robots connect different areas within facilities quickly and efficiently, bringing goods, raw materials and components to where they need to be. Taking different kinds of load carriers from A to B is a breeze for the Open Shuttles. Thanks to their innovative technology, they act with complete autonomy, they don’t need any aids, and they are 100% safe for people. What’s more, they are flexible and easy to integrate. Open Shuttles are so flexible that various logistical challenges are a breeze for them, whether they are deployed as a stand-alone solution or as part of an all-in-one solution. The autonomous mobile robots act as an intelligent swarm and are easy to configure.

Runpick
Fully automatic full-case picking in food retail. RUNPICK – short for Robotic Universal Picker – takes store delivery up to a whole new level. Specially developed for food retail, the system processes and palletizes large handling units for brick and mortar retail fully automatically. The robot is capable of store-friendly picking and handles both fresh and shelf-stable goods on pallets and roll containers. Multiple item picking allows several items to be deposited at the same time in just one cycle, leading to a considerable increase of performance.

KiSoft Genomix
Efficient Automation Thanks to Well-maintained Master Data. To function efficiently, automation solutions need perfectly maintained master data. This is the only way automated items can be handled efficiently and without errors. Today, retailers and manufacturers only provide little information about their products. Any further attributes are usually recorded manually, entailing high costs and great effort. Subjective assessments complicate the situation further. Overall, there is no all-encompassing process for collecting, processing and distributing the relevant attributes in the right quality – there hasn’t been, until now. There is a system that can do all this, automatically collect, distribute and maintain article master data. We proudly present: KiSoft Genomix. Our new, self-learning software solution digitizes all relevant attributes. You could even say that KiSoft Genomix decodes the DNA of items, from their weight, dimensions and packaging type, to their contents, center of gravity, tilting behavior and much more. Thanks to this information, automation technologies such as the robots know exactly how to handle and process the items. What’s more, KiSoft Genomix adapts to the degree of automation in the warehouse. The software knows exactly which parameters the technology needs to run like clockwork. The end-to-end solution provides all the required attributes for the entire supply chain, thereby optimizing all processes and boosting system efficiency and performance. There is no comparable solution on the market yet, so we have claimed a patent on KiSoft Genomix.

AutoPocket
The AutoPocket offers modular components for innovative solution designs of your distribution center. Combined use cases create integrated process designs with new efficiency in eCommerce and retail fulfillment centers. From incoming goods sorting, sequencing of order items at the packing station to outbound good sortation, the AutoPocket solution makes a valuable contribution to intralogistics. The ability to open and deliver items at full speed opens up new possibilities in automation of your order packing and shipping process.

KiSoft Analytics
Make the right decisions with smart software. KiSoft Analytics gives you a clear overview. It links logistics processes with realtime data at machine level and presents all the information in clear visualizations and as KPIs. This smart tool for data analysis provides you with a clear overview of the complex processes in the warehouse, the systems, and the entire supply chain so that trends can be identified and forecasts can be made. Now you can view your data over the long-term to gain a better understanding of your business and make the right decisions – both tactically in the short term as well as strategically in the long term. KiSoft Analytics is a SaaS solution that is ready for rollout and can be implemented in any system environment regardless of KNAPP equipment and software. The modern world is in a constant state of flux. For today’s companies, the new opportunities this brings go hand in hand with new challenges such as ever-increasing complexity and more and more competition. KiSoft helps you to make smart decisions at the right moment for systems and supply chains, based on solid information. This means you can keep an eye on everything around the clock, can take the right actions, and be on the ball when it comes to changes and trends.
