Warehouses that flow.
AMR/AGV deployments, warehouse control systems, sorting and conveyor automation. WMS integration that respects what already works.
You have brownfield racks. We have brownfield robots.
Most automation case studies show greenfield warehouses with perfect lighting, clean aisles, level floors, and reflective tape. Most of our customers have none of those things. They have racks installed in 2003, narrow VNAs, mixed pallet/case picking, three different WMS instances across their network, and a peak season that does not allow for a four-week shutdown.
We design for the building you have. Visual SLAM works with the lighting and racking already there. AMRs that handshake with your existing WMS and conveyor PLCs. Sortation upgrades that go in over weekends. The work is bounded by what you can take down on a Sunday night.
Discuss your projectSix capabilities for distribution centres.
Each capability below has been delivered into running DCs — including ones at over 95% peak utilisation when we started.
AMR fleets
WSC-Mover M150/M500/M1500 platforms for case, pallet, and heavy loads. Visual SLAM, mixed-traffic safety, sub-30s handshake with WMS.
Warehouse control
WCS layer between WMS and conveyors / sorters / AS/RS. Vendor-neutral — works with Manhattan, Blue Yonder, Oracle WMS Cloud, custom WMS.
Sortation & conveyance
Cross-belt, tilt-tray, and pop-up sorters. Sortation rate optimisation, bottleneck detection, and reroute logic in software.
Throughput analytics
Live OPH, dwell time, congestion heatmaps, and labour productivity — visible on the manager's screen, not the IT dashboard nobody opens.
WMS integration
Bidirectional with whatever you have. We have integrated to thirteen different WMS instances and can quote you the API ceiling of yours.
Change management
Operator training and shift-leader enablement. The robots are not the hard part — the new SOPs are. We do both.
Four stages, without shutting the DC.
Site walk & ROI
Three-day walk-through during peak shift. We pull WMS data, map dwell time, count moves. ROI model is built on your numbers, not industry averages.
Pilot zone
A bounded pilot zone — one aisle, one sorter, one shift. Two weeks. If it does not deliver, we stop. If it does, we scale.
Phased rollout
Zone by zone, weekend by weekend. Each phase has a documented rollback to manual operations and is signed off by ops leadership.
Stabilise & train
Six weeks of supervised operation. Operator and shift-leader training. Runbook handover, on-call rota, and quarterly tuning calendar.
What you can expect.
- Throughput uplift of 20–40% in the deployed zones, measured against a documented baseline
- Labour redeployed to value-add work, not eliminated — a story your HR team can tell to operators
- WMS still in place, still doing what it does best — robots integrated, not replaced
- Predictable peak — fewer surprises in November and December than the prior year
