Deepsky vs Mujin Pick System

Deepsky is a warehouse execution system from Exotec that links a warehouse management system to warehouse automation through one orchestration layer. It covers processes from receiving and storage to order preparation and dispatch. Using real-time information, it coordinates order release, replenishment, and picking, while planning around logistics constraints such as truck departure schedules. It identifies the contents and locations of bins, cases, and containers; dashboards show live KPIs, system status, and performance insights. Deepsky coordinates robots and operators and can prioritize actions. Exotec says it communicates with robots, conveyors, automated arms, scales, carton formers, and labelling machines regardless of communication protocol. It can aggregate real-time and historical data from Exotec robots and third-party suppliers, and supports multi-site management, API access, and simulation tools. Exotec describes it as workflow-based and says software updates continue after go-live. Its server is duplicated for backup, and the company offers 24/7 Control Center assistance and maintenance contracts. Pricing and availability are on request; the product page directs prospective customers to contact Exotec.

Mujin Pick System uses MujinOS to automate robotic case picking in warehouses handling varied products and high order volumes. Its perception and spatial intelligence identify cases in unstructured settings, while motion planning adjusts how robots pick and place them in real time. Robots can work across shifts and order types, and the system accommodates new SKUs and workflow changes without engineering downtime. It can assemble aisle-ready pallets from inbound cases, accounting for different packages and SKUs. Workflow-based orchestration coordinates robots, autonomous mobile robots, and operators, with adaptive load sharing. Digital twin tools plan and simulate motion paths for validation before go-live; Mujin states this enables uninterrupted operation and 99.9% uptime. MujinOS connects to WMS, WES, and MES through open APIs and standardized protocols. GraphQL and ITIL interfaces expose system data, performance metrics, and motion control, while the MCX platform supports Ethernet/IP, Profinet, Modbus, and multi-robot connectivity. It runs via web and API. Pricing is on request.
