Lodamaster Group and WAT Otonom have entered into a strategic partnership that brings together technology, engineering, and system integration expertise in the intralogistics industry. Through this collaboration, the two companies aim to combine their respective strengths to deliver end-to-end, high-value intralogistics solutions to their customers.
As one of Türkiye’s leading intralogistics companies, Lodamaster has successfully delivered high-tech projects across a wide range of industries, including e-commerce, logistics, retail, food, textile, and manufacturing, drawing on its extensive experience in project design, engineering, manufacturing, software development, system integration, and commissioning.
Operating not merely as an equipment supplier, but as a solution partner that analyzes its customers’ operations from a holistic perspective to design and implement the most suitable systems, Lodamaster is now combining its industry expertise with WAT Otonom’s advanced automated storage technologies.
WAT Otonom, one of the key brands within Koç Group’s technology ecosystem, stands out with its innovative technologies in automated storage systems. Through its high-performance storage solutions, WAT Otonom enables more efficient use of warehouse space. With this strategic partnership, the company aims to combine its technologies with Lodamaster’s strong system integration capabilities and extensive field implementation experience, offering customers complete end-to-end projects as a single integrated solution.
A Powerful Partnership Built on Complementary Expertise
As part of the partnership, Lodamaster will integrate WAT Otonom’s ASRS technologies into its solution portfolio, enabling the company to offer comprehensive intralogistics projects that also incorporate automated storage systems.
WAT Otonom, in turn, will leverage Lodamaster’s conveyor systems, sorter technologies, and system integration capabilities in its projects to provide customers with fully integrated, end-to-end solutions.
By bringing together complementary technologies and engineering capabilities within the same project, the two companies will deliver highly efficient, future-ready solutions that can be managed from a single point.
The First Project Will Set a New Industry Benchmark
The first step of the strategic partnership will be a project developed for one of Türkiye’s leading food manufacturers.
Designed around a One-Stop Shop approach, the project will bring together ASRS and Miniload technologies, intelligent conveyor systems, high-capacity sorter solutions, robotic automation systems, and an advanced software infrastructure within a single integrated project.
As part of the project, for the first time in Türkiye, the entire order preparation process for cold-chain and fresh products — from breaking down pallets into individual items to building mixed pallets from individual products — will be carried out through fully automated robotic, sorting, and conveyor systems. This will provide a fully automated solution to one of the industry’s long-standing operational challenges.
With its scale, technological sophistication, and fully integrated architecture, the project will be one of the first applications of its kind in Türkiye. Beyond delivering significant operational efficiency, it is expected to establish a new benchmark for the intralogistics industry.
Joining Forces for the Future of Intralogistics
The strategic partnership between Lodamaster and WAT Otonom brings together the complementary expertise of both companies around a shared vision.
By combining Lodamaster’s extensive experience in system design, project management, and integration with WAT Otonom’s advanced ASRS technologies, customers will gain access to high-performance, sustainable intralogistics solutions in which all components operate seamlessly within a single project framework.
Through this partnership, the two companies aim not only to address today’s operational requirements but also to jointly develop scalable, future-ready automation systems capable of adapting to evolving production and logistics processes.
Starting with the first project, the partnership is expected to expand through new investments across different industries in the coming period, making a significant contribution to Türkiye’s intralogistics ecosystem.
