CEVA Logistics has deployed Sereact’s AI-powered dual-arm robots at Zalando’s return centers in Greven, Germany, and Świebodzin, Poland. These systems use Cortex, Sereact’s Physical AI platform, to autonomously handle fashion item returns without needing specific item training or profiles. This marks the first operational step in expanding automated returns processing across Europe after Zalando invested in Sereact’s Series B round in July 2026.

Story summary
Sereact, Zalando, and CEVA Logistics launched AI-powered automated returns handling in Germany and Poland. The deployment uses Sereact’s Physical AI platform called Cortex, which enables robotic systems to autonomously grasp, identify, and sort returned fashion items without needing per-item training or SKU profiles. This marks the first operational milestone for scaling returns automation across Europe following Zalando's strategic investment in Sereact during its Series B funding round in July 2026. The new system reduces physical strain on warehouse workers by taking over repetitive tasks, allowing them to focus on supervision and quality control. Initially deployed at sites in Greven, Germany, and Świebodzin, Poland, the initiative leverages a Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) model to handle returns efficiently.
