Bringing Automation to Small Warehouses
Noyes Technologies, a manufacturer of automated warehouse systems, is reimagining how smaller companies can join the automation of warehousing. The company’s NoyesStorage solution is a modular, scalable system that can be installed in spaces as compact as 10 square meters, expanding to thousands of storage locations.
“The NoyesStorage automated warehouse can be used as low as 10 m² to multiple thousand storage places, enabling 2.5 times more storage capacity with faster picking.”
-Clemens Beckmann, Head of Robotics at NOYES
This flexibility allows facilities that traditionally fall below automation thresholds to gain the benefits of increased capacity, faster picking, and reduced manual labor – without the tradiotional large investements of moving the warehouse or building a new and bigger space from scratch.
The NoyesBot: Simple Design, High Performance
Unlike complex automated racking that can be prone to failure and require extensive support, Noyes has chosen static shelving paired with a dynamic, intelligent robot.
“The NoyesBot combines a 40-kilogram load capacity with a lightweight 15-kilogram design, moving goods quickly and reliably within the storage area.”
-Clemens Beckmann, Head of Robotics
This design not only reduces operational complexity but also helps clients avoid the need to relocate or expand their facilities, significantly lowering the barrier to adopting automation. However, developing a robot capable of fulfilling this vision brought a series of highly specific technical challenges—particularly regarding the energy source powering the NoyesBot.
“The battery system needed to accommodate tight space constraints inside the compact robot design while also satisfying stringent safety standards, including fire safety regulations applicable to automated warehouses”

Trusted Technology Partnerships
To fulfill these demanding specifications, Noyes Technologies selected WS Technicals as the battery supplier, appreciating their ability to combine advanced technology with dedicated engineering support.
“Through good engineering support and software tools provided with the battery, it was possible to fulfill our strict requirements.”
-Clemens Beckmann, Head of Robotics
By combining smart design with the advanced battery technology delivered by WS Technicals, Noyes Technologies has developed scalable warehouse solutions that are both efficient and reliable. The collaboration ensures that even smaller operations can benefit from automation without compromising safety or performance.
