Nord Modules Expands AMR Ecosystem With KUKA Collaboration
The Nord Pallet Mover is designed to enable efficient, autonomous pallet handling in intralogistics and production environments.
Odense, Denmark - 27. January 2026 - Nord Modules today announces a new collaboration with KUKA, adding KUKA to its growing list of supported Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) brands. As part of the collaboration, Nord Modules has already launched its first ready-to-use top modules for KUKA AMRs: the Nord Pallet Mover for KUKA KMP1500P, available in three variants - PM800, PM1000, and PM1200.
The Nord Pallet Mover is designed to enable efficient, autonomous pallet handling in intralogistics and production environments. Mounted directly on top of the AMR, the module uses powered rollers to pick up and transfer pallets to and from loading stations. Wireless communication with external conveyors and precise docking via the Nord Dock Target ensure reliable and streamlined material flow between production lines, packing stations, and logistics areas.
The three variants are tailored to different pallet standards and use cases:
• PM800, optimized for Euro pallets
• PM1000, designed for US pallet handling
• PM1200, supporting larger pallet formats
"We are very excited to welcome KUKA as a supported AMR brand in the Nord Modules ecosystem," says Erik Mønster, CEO of Nord Modules.
"KUKA has a long and proven track record within industrial automation, and their scale, technical expertise, and strong market presence make them a natural and highly strategic partner for us. We believe the KUKA AMR business will see significant growth in the coming years, and we are proud to support that journey with ready-to-use, purpose-built top modules that help customers automate material handling faster and with less complexity."
The collaboration reflects a shared focus on modular, scalable automation solutions that address real-world factory needs. By combining KUKA's AMR platform with Nord Modules' high-quality and well-proven standardized top modules, customers gain faster deployment, predictable performance, and seamless integration between mobile robots and existing factory infrastructure.
"KUKA is delighted to welcome Nord Modules to the Robotic Republic, KUKA's ecosystem, where we make robotics and automation simple and accessible for everyone. Nord Modules is a perfect fit as they are a manufacturer that stands out for exceptional quality and refined engineering excellence. Their tailored solutions perfectly complement the KUKA AMR portfolio", says Christian Mühsam, global Product Manager AMR
