Many warehouses have a large footprint and generate a large number of movements and significant travel distances. Much of this travel is tramming product from receiving to putaway and from picking to consolidation and despatch. It has always been possible to install conveyors systems to transport pallets, totes and cartons. However, where you have multiple pick-up points and destinations, such systems can be very expensive as well as occupying valuable space.

There have been many developments recently in freepath automation – AGVs (automated guided vehicles) and AMR (autonomous mobile robots) that can transport pallets, totes and cartons without the need for conveyors or the need for protected routes.
