A typical customer configuration is expected to cost around or below €80,000, which corresponds to the manual-charger configuration.
Trying before buying
The standard evaluation path is a 30–60 minute hands-on demonstration, followed by a two-week paid trial at €4,000 including setup and support, with free return at any time, no questions asked. Proofs of concept at the customer's plant are also possible. See the support section for evaluation routes.
The labor-saving argument
The J1600 reduces manual work and operator travel on repetitive transport by up to 80% — not an 80% improvement to every warehouse process.
| Model | Setup | Flexibility | Labor saving |
|---|---|---|---|
| Manual pallet jack | None | Full manual flexibility | None |
| J1600 dual mode | Hours | Manual control plus saved autonomous delivery | Up to 80% of operator time on target travel |
| Fully automated system | Weeks or a longer project | Preprogrammed, expert-configured | Up to 100% of task labor, if fully automated |
The economics are designed to work for a single-shift SME operating eight hours per day, five days per week — no 24/7 operation is needed. The €65,000 base price contrasts with full-automation investments that can reach approximately €1 million once warehouse-management and fleet integration are included. The proposition: roughly 80% of the benefit, at a fraction of the price, and quick to get going.

Returns beyond labor cost
- Fewer workplace accidents, injuries, and product damage.
- Higher employee satisfaction by removing repetitive walking.
- Improved inventory tracking and control in an automated process.
- Steadier material flow and throughput.
- More productive use of skilled labor and easier response to labor shortages.
- Less implementation and change risk than rigid full automation.
Installation, commissioning, and support
The €10,000 installation and commissioning package covers pre-installation feasibility and risk assessment, on-site setup with up to 25 drop points, task and safety validation, operator training, monitoring, acceptance testing, and handover over five days. Annual Basic Care (€4,900 per robot/year) and Full Care (€13,000 per robot/year) support plans are available, alongside a Free plan with pay-as-needed service. Details are in the support section.
