Scalable robots
Andy Van Mieghem, managing director at Vanas Engineering, says of the decision to partner with Scallog: “To enhance our product range, we were won over by Scallog’s approach.

The solution is quick and easy to integrate and highly scalable. Scallog further distinguishes itself through the integrated software intelligence in its own WMS, which precisely caters to the requirements and specifications of each customer to enhance performance.”
He added: "Scallog's many successes in Belgium have fully convinced us of the value of their solution and its perfect fit with the challenges of logistics managers of SMEs in the Benelux, our main target audience."
