Exotec deploys robotic system at First Supply distribution center in Wisconsin
What happened
Exotec deployed its Skypod robotic system at a distribution center for First Supply in West Salem, Wisconsin, on October 12, 2026, to improve warehouse efficiency. First Supply, a wholesaler of HVAC and building products, introduced the technology to speed up order processing. The automated system increased picking speeds tenfold compared to manual operations and now handles over 14,000 stock keeping units.

Why it matters
The deployment allows First Supply to offer next-morning delivery for orders placed as late as 5 pm. The technology supports a fourfold increase in storage capacity without requiring expansion of the existing warehouse footprint. This efficiency helps First Supply meet growing customer demand for its range of industrial and building products.
