PRESS RELEASE Circus SE and REWE Region West launch exclusive national pilot partnership for the integration of the CA-1 robot
Under the agreement, REWE Region West will receive three CA-1 units along with a comprehensive software package that includes ordering systems, kitchen control, and AI-driven production management. The eight-month pilot phase includes joint operations, training, marketing activities, and a thorough performance evaluation based on customer satisfaction, technical performance, and operational feasibility. “The combination of cutting-edge robotics and our customer focus is an exciting step toward a forward-looking, sustainable shopping experience,” says Lars Klein, Chairman of the Management Board, REWE Region West. “We are especially focused on acceptance, customer feedback, and real-world operational insights,” he adds. “This partnership is a milestone not only for Circus but for the entire retail sector,” says Nikolas Bullwinkel, CEO of Circus SE. “For the first time, customers will experience freshly prepared meals in supermarkets that are cooked entirely autonomously by robots. We are proud to bring this world first to life together with REWE and look forward to what lies ahead.” During the eight-month pilot phase, Circus will serve as the exclusive provider of AI-powered food robotics in REWE stores.
