We automate warehouses, distribution centres and material handling operations, from conveyor control and AS/RS integration to AMR and AGV fleets, robotic palletising and the MES and WMS links that tie it all together. Our engineers design, programme and commission systems that move high volumes reliably, 24/7.
Whether you're running a distribution centre, a manufacturing warehouse or an airport baggage hall, the demands are the same — high throughput, high reliability, zero tolerance for downtime.
Modern logistics operations handle thousands of items per hour. Automation must be fast, reliable and able to handle volume spikes without failure.
Warehouses handle enormous variety — different sizes, weights, packaging types and destinations. Automation must be flexible and intelligent.
Logistics facilities often run around the clock. Downtime is expensive. Systems must be designed for reliability and fast fault recovery.
Warehouse automation must connect to WMS, ERP and other business systems — exchanging data accurately and in real time.
PLC-controlled conveyor systems for warehouses and distribution centres, covering routing, sortation, accumulation, merges and diverts. Conveyor automation →
Controls and integration for automated storage and retrieval systems, connecting AS/RS to conveyors, robots and your WMS so goods flow in and out without manual handoffs.
Integrating autonomous mobile robots and automated guided vehicles with your conveyors, workstations and safety systems, and linking the fleet to your WMS or MES for automatic task dispatch.
Real-time links between the plant floor and your business systems, so orders, routing, stock movements and performance data stay accurate without re-keying.
Robot programming and integration for palletising and depalletising, with custom end-effectors, mixed-SKU capability and full conveyor integration. Robotic palletising →
SCADA systems giving real-time visibility of warehouse operations, from throughput monitoring and fault diagnostics to performance reporting.
Control system design, offline programming and on-site commissioning for airport baggage handling systems, including variable-speed conveyors, sorters and real-time monitoring.
Upgrading existing warehouse control systems without disrupting operations, including legacy PLC replacement and new system integration. PLC upgrades →
We've delivered logistics automation for warehouses, distribution centres and airport baggage facilities — diverse experience that benefits every project.
Our systems are designed to handle the volumes modern logistics demands — reliably, without bottlenecks and with fast fault recovery.
We connect automation systems to your business software — ensuring accurate, real-time data flow across your operation.
Our baggage handling experience demands the highest standards of reliability and fault tolerance — a discipline that carries through all our logistics work.
We design systems that can grow with your operation — modular architecture that supports future expansion and reconfiguration.
Conveyors, AS/RS, AMRs and AGVs, robots, SCADA and your MES or WMS. We integrate every element of your warehouse automation into one coherent, well-controlled system.
Yes. We handle the controls side of AMR and AGV integration: the handover points between vehicles and conveyors, the PLC logic and safety interlocks around them, and the data link to your WMS or MES so tasks are dispatched and confirmed automatically.
Yes. We provide the controls and integration that connect automated storage and retrieval systems to conveyors, robots and your WMS, whether it is a new installation or an existing system being extended or upgraded.
Yes. We build the interface between the plant floor and your business systems, so orders, routing decisions, stock movements and production data flow accurately in real time instead of being re-keyed or reconciled by hand.
Usually, yes. Many operators start with the biggest bottleneck, such as a conveyor or palletising cell, and add automation over time. We design systems to be modular so later phases connect cleanly to earlier ones.
In most cases. We test new software and panels offline, then cut over in planned stages around your operating hours, so the rest of the site keeps moving.
Where to start, what it costs and how to phase the investment.
