Scott Technology – Scott Automation :: Mobile Robots Transport & Stack Goods With Precision

Scott Technology – Scott Automation is a New Zealand-headquartered global provider of advanced automation and robotic solutions. Listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange, the company designs, manufactures, and commissions end-to-end automation systems that replace dangerous, dirty, and repetitive manual tasks with safer, more productive technology. With operations in twelve countries across five continents — including New Zealand, Australia, China, the United States, Canada, Chile, Uruguay, and multiple European nations — Scott delivers solutions supported by local service teams.

Scott’s robot-based products are heavily concentrated in four key sectors. In materials handling and logistics, it offers Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) and fully automated palletizing systems through its Transbotics brand. These mobile robots transport and stack goods with precision, as demonstrated in high-volume meat processing plants where an AGV and palletising installation reduced labour requirements to just two operators while improving throughput and traceability. In meat processing, Scott provides robotic grading, cutting, and trussing systems along with the BladeStop safety bandsaw, enabling automated lamb, beef, and poultry lines. Mining automation includes robotic sample preparation systems that perform crushing, splitting, pulverising, and division of ore samples with high repeatability and safety. Appliance manufacturing benefits from robotic assembly and handling cells for cooking, laundry, refrigeration, and water-heating equipment.

The company integrates industrial robots, vision systems, and proprietary software across the full project lifecycle — from concept and design through to installation, commissioning, training, and ongoing maintenance. Its global service network supports third-party robots from KUKA, ABB, Fanuc, and others, while offering preventive maintenance, upgrades, and spare parts. By focusing on proven, scalable robotic automation that has been battle-tested in demanding environments, Scott helps customers across meat, mining, appliance, and logistics industries reduce labour dependency, improve safety, and increase operational efficiency.
