MD 650 · Best for
Inter-warehouse pallet staging: 8-hour shifts moving loaded EUR/US pallets between receiving, storage, and packing lines without conveyor infrastructure.
StockBot · Best for
Daily inventory cycles in large sporting-goods superstores (like Decathlon 4,000–9,000 m² flagship stores) to detect misplaced items and feed real-time stock data into planogram optimization.
Final judgment
Both are credible picks. Decide on cost and supplier proximity, not capability — the gap is small.
