Our Mission
We solve the problem of truck unloading in warehouses being slow and labor-intensive. CHALLENGER does this automatically, in a fraction of the time, without requiring any warehouse modifications.

Wektron is building Challenger, a robot that unloads trucks autonomously. Unloading by hand takes about 30 minutes. With Challenger, it takes just 6. The trick: Challenger drives under the pallet, but is shorter than the pallet itself. This allows it to fit into any warehouse without needing any modifications. Traditional systems often require rails or magnetic strips for this, but Challenger does not. Customers are warehouse operators who need to unload many trucks. Instead of buying the robot, they will later be able to simply rent it. Behind Wektron so far is one person: Alexander Wecker, trained at global market leader Schenck RoTec, currently working as a mechatronics technician at Schwerdtel.
We solve the problem of truck unloading in warehouses being slow and labor-intensive. CHALLENGER does this automatically, in a fraction of the time, without requiring any warehouse modifications.
In 5 years, CHALLENGER will be in continuous use in several German warehouses, available via a subscription model, and Wektron will have established itself as an alternative to traditional AGV providers.
