Regulatory News:
BALYO (Paris:BALYO)(FR0013258399, mnemonic: BALYO,
PEA-PME eligible), a technology leader in the design of innovative
robotic solutions for industrial forklifts, announces that they
have been selected by the Danone group to equip a plant located in
the north of France. Over the course of 2023, BALYO will deploy on
this site a fleet of ten “REACHY" robots.
With more than 190 production sites, Danone is one of the
largest food companies in the world, distributing its products in
nearly 120 countries. In order to optimize the storage space and
operating costs of its industrial sites, Danone chose BALYO, to
automate the storage and shipping of pallets operations for one of
its most important manufacturing sites.
BALYO robots not only automate operations, but also improve
safety and reduce the damage often associated with the manual
handling of goods. BALYO's innovations transform standard
industrial forklifts so that they can work autonomously. Using SLAM
navigation and LiDAR, along with a host of other sensors.
Specifically designed to operate in areas with very tight space
constraints at high elevations, such as narrow aisles and minimal
pallet spacing in racks, REACHY robots offer a high level of
accuracy, performance and safety, meeting the high expectations set
out by Danone.
In addition, BALYO's robots will be simple and easy to deploy
for Danone because they do not require any infrastructure changes
to the existing facility space.
Pascal Rialland, CEO of BALYO, said: “We are very proud
to have been selected at the end of 2022 by such a prestigious
group as Danone. Their performance standards were rigorous, and we
are thrilled that our robots met and exceeded those expectations.
Proof of the ease of use of our solutions, the pilot robot was
operational the very afternoon following its delivery to the site.
The deployment of a fleet of 10 robots within this site is planned
over H2 2023. This new deployment is an example of the many
advances made by BALYO in recent years, both in terms of
performance and ease of use of our robots. The robotization of
logistics flows remains at the heart of the challenges facing
manufacturers and BALYO is perfectly positioned to meet this
growing demand”.

ABOUT BALYO
Humans around the World deserve enriching and creative jobs. At
BALYO, we believe that pallet movements in DC and manufacturing
sites should be left to fully autonomous robots. To execute this
ambition, BALYO transforms standard forklifts into intelligent
robots thanks to its breakthrough Driven by Balyo™ technology. Our
leading geo guidance navigation system enables robots to locate
their position and navigate autonomously inside buildings - without
the need for any additional infrastructure. To accelerate the
material handling market conversion to autonomy, BALYO has entered
into two global partnerships with KION (Fenwick-Linde's parent
company) and Hyster-Yale Group. A full range of globally available
robots has been developed for virtually all traditional warehousing
applications; Tractor, Pallet, Stackers, Reach and VNA-robots.
BALYO and its subsidiaries in Boston and Singapore serve clients in
the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific. The company has been listed
on EURONEXT since 2017 and its sales revenue reached €21.8 million
in 2021. For more information, visit www.balyo.com.
