Where industrial robots work

    Built for the transport legs that repeat every shift

    Throughput depends on aisle geometry, floor condition and how predictable the route is. Explore common environments, then let ERA validate the flow.

    Warehouse aisle with pallet racking and clear transport lanes

    Warehousing

    Pallet, tote and trolley movement between receiving, picking, packing and dispatch. AMRs take over the repetitive transport legs so pickers stay in their zones and throughput stays consistent across shifts.

    Modern manufacturing floor with clear production lanes

    Manufacturing

    Line-side delivery of parts, consumables and work-in-progress on scheduled routes. Robots keep production fed without forklift congestion, and re-route automatically around people and obstacles.

    Facility professional managing a modern commercial building

    Distribution & 3PL

    Standardised transport between dock doors, staging lanes and put-away areas. Repeatable autonomous runs make service levels predictable across clients, contracts and peak seasons.

    Polished commercial lobby suited to autonomous cleaning

    Cross-dock & mezzanine

    Continuous movement between levels, buildings and storerooms where routes never stop. Heavy-payload models handle the full pallets while compact units cover the tighter internal shuttles.

    Compare the range

    Match the payload to the route, not the other way around

    Start with what moves, how heavy it is and how wide the aisles are. ERA validates the final fit on site.

    Where they work — and where they don't

    Works well

    • Warehouses with sealed floors and stable aisle geometry
    • Line-side delivery on scheduled, repeatable routes
    • Distribution centres with high repeat-transport volume
    • Multi-shift sites that benefit from unattended running
    • Sites with reliable industrial Wi-Fi coverage

    Not the right fit

    • Aisles narrower than the model's minimum clearance
    • Congested manual zones with constant obstruction
    • Sites with no plan for charging or fleet management
    • Loads beyond the maximum payload per unit
    • Uneven, unsealed or weather-exposed ground
    ROI factors

    What drives payback

    • Manual trolley and pallet-jack runs removed
    • Continuous transport across multi-shift operations
    • Lower manual-handling risk exposure
    • Standardised internal transport times across sites
    • Capacity uplift without adding headcount
    Calculate ROI
    Lease options

    Operate as opex, not capex

    Flexible purchase and lease structures are available by model.

    • Match the term to the expected operating period
    • Include deployment, integration and support in the plan
    • Add units as throughput grows
    • Keep costs predictable for operational budgeting
    Discuss lease options

    Site-readiness checklist

    Use this before a site assessment to scope quickly.

    • Sealed, flat floor along the full transport route
    • Aisle width that meets the model's minimum path clearance
    • Threshold and gap dimensions within the model's limits
    • Stable industrial Wi-Fi across the operating envelope
    • A designated charging zone with mains power
    • Clear pickup and drop-off stations plus safety zoning
    • An integration plan for any WMS, ERP or MES handshake
