Modular AI-driven conveyor systems for smart factories and logistics
Cellumation builds intelligent material-handling hardware and software around the celluveyor—a hexagonal, multi-directional conveyor cell controlled by computer vision and machine learning. The tech stack reveals a hardware-first, embedded-systems mindset: C++, STM32, PROFINET, ROS/ROS 2, and OpenCV sit alongside TensorFlow/Keras for vision-based object recognition and sorting logic. Active projects in hybrid ML control and vision infrastructure show the company is moving beyond mechanical automation toward autonomous, vision-driven intralogistics—a shift that explains the engineering-heavy hiring (7 of 12 open roles) and the recurring pain around development-process optimization.
Cellumation designs and manufactures modular conveyor systems that combine intelligent hardware, computer-vision-based object recognition, and AI-driven control for warehouses, factories, and e-commerce centers. Each hexagonal cell moves independently in any direction, enabling flexible, scalable material flow without mechanical conversion. Founded in 2017 as a spin-off from the Bremen Institute for Production and Logistics, the company operates from Bremen, Germany, with approximately 80 employees and recently established a US subsidiary (cellumation Inc.) in 2025 to expand North American market reach. Sales are tied to fast ROI claims around plug-and-play integration and minimal maintenance. Internal challenges center on international procurement, supplier stability, cost optimization, and accelerating product development velocity.
C++, Python, ROS/ROS 2, OpenCV, TensorFlow, Keras, STM32, Linux, PROFINET, Siemens S7, Git/GitLab, Jira, and hardware-design tools (Altium Designer, EPLAN, TIA Portal). Stack spans embedded control, computer vision, and ML inference.
Core projects: celluveyor feature development, hybrid machine-learning control systems, vision-infrastructure improvements, schaltplan (electrical schematic) automation, and product portfolio expansion. Also actively developing international procurement and global sourcing strategies.
