Scalable automated warehouse robots that take on picking, packing, transport and palletising. With advanced navigation, vision and WMS integration, they boost throughput, cut errors and work safely alongside people. Engineered, integrated and supported in Ireland.
The term is doing a lot of work. In practice it means autonomous mobile robots carrying totes or racks, pallet AMRs, tugger AMRs towing trains, pick-assist carts that follow an operator, and robotic arms for case handling or palletising. These are not competing options so much as different answers, and most sites end up with two or three types rather than one. The first useful conversation is about which tasks you want taken off people, not which robot looks best in a video.
What the robot has to move, and how far, narrows the field faster than anything else. Small totes and shelves suit a carrying AMR; full pallets up to around a tonne need a pallet AMR or an autonomous forklift; trolleys and trains that already exist are better towed than rebuilt. Distance matters too, because a long haul makes a tugger pulling several carts more sensible than several robots each carrying one.
Most of these use SLAM maps built from natural features, so there are no rails, no wires and no floor tape. QR codes or reflectors can be added in the hard cases, long featureless aisles or difficult lighting, but as an option rather than a precondition. That is what keeps deployment to a matter of days for a pilot area and avoids a shutdown to install infrastructure you may want to move later.
These robots work alongside people and manual forklifts, so LiDAR, 3D cameras and safety-rated controls provide obstacle detection, slow and stop zones and dynamic rerouting to CE standards. The part that gets underestimated is the zone map: deciding where robots must slow, who has right of way at junctions and what happens when an aisle is blocked is design work, not commissioning work.
Two different models. Goods-to-person brings totes or racks to an ergonomic station, which suits dense, high-line-count picking and takes the walking out entirely. Pick-assist keeps the picker in the aisle with a robot following and carrying, which suits lower density or a layout you are not ready to rebuild. Lines per hour usually improves either way, but the capital and the change to how people work are very different.
Where the requirement is dense storage rather than transport, a system like GEBHARDT Upstream puts robots inside the racking: containers up to 50 kg on a 600 x 400 mm footprint, storage heights to 18 m, systems up to 100 m long, with provisioning of a container in under two minutes and 48 V ultracap energy storage. That is closer to shuttle systems and automated storage and retrieval than to a mobile robot on the floor.
A fleet manager or WES takes orders from your WMS or ERP by API and turns them into missions, returning confirmations that update inventory and task status in real time. For seasonal peaks you can add temporary robots, extend station hours or let the software reprioritise on SLA rather than order sequence. Downstream this usually meets sorting technology before dispatch.
Charging is auto-dock and scheduled around peaks rather than parked at shift end, so uptime holds through the day. Maintenance is routine checks on wheels and sensors, software updates and battery health monitoring, with remote diagnostics to shorten downtime. Start with a pilot area and add robots, stations and missions as it proves out. LVP Automation specifies, integrates and supports warehouse robotics from Finglas, Dublin 11 as part of our wider automation services.
AMRs bring totes/racks to ergonomic stations or follow pickers for pick-assist, improving lines per hour and reducing travel.
Autonomous point-to-point moves (receiving → put-away, replenishment, returns) replace manual runs and keep flow steady across shifts.
Robotic arms and pallet-moving AMRs handle case stacking, pallet moves and wrapper infeeds, smoothing peaks without extra labour.
Quick answers on safety, speeds, payloads, integration, scaling and maintenance.
AMRs for totes/racks, pallet AMRs, tugger AMRs, pick-assist carts and robotic arms for case handling or palletising.
LiDAR, 3D cameras and safety-rated controls enable obstacle detection, slow/stop zones and dynamic rerouting to CE standards.
Most AMRs use SLAM maps (natural features) with optional QR/reflectors in tough areas. Deploy quickly with minimal fit-out.
From small totes to full pallets (up to ~1,000+ kg) depending on model. We match robot type to your loads and travel paths.
Via a WES/fleet manager or direct APIs—orders become missions; confirmations update inventory and task status in real time.
Sites commonly see higher lines/hour, reduced travel time and fewer picking errors. Exact uplift depends on layout and SKUs.
Yes—begin with a pilot area, then add robots, stations and missions. Fleet managers balance traffic as you scale.
Smart charging with auto-dock. Schedules avoid peak times and maintain uptime through the shift.
Add temporary robots, longer missions or extended station hours; software can reprioritise tasks based on SLAs.
Routine checks (wheels, sensors), software updates and battery health monitoring. Remote diagnostics shorten downtime.
