A Fleet That Picks Its Own Route

Autonomous mobile robots move inventory along their own routes — no driver, no fixed track — coordinated by fleet software that dispatches the nearest free unit and slows automatically the instant a worker enters the aisle.

Throughput Shouldn't Depend on Who Showed Up

Every pick and put-away in a manual warehouse waits on a person walking the aisles. A short shift, a resignation or a sick day cuts throughput directly — not because the inventory isn't there, but because there aren't enough hands to move it. A fleet of robots that coordinate themselves breaks that dependency.

Manual Movement & Walking Time

Every pick and put-away waits on a person walking the aisles, multiplying the time each order takes.

Human Unavailability

A short shift or a resignation cuts throughput directly when the work depends entirely on people on the floor.

Uncoordinated Robot Tasks

A single robot on a fixed track can't adapt to demand. Tasks need to be dispatched to whichever unit is free, in real time.

Robots and People Sharing an Aisle

Robots and workers need to share the floor safely — which means the robot has to sense a person and slow down, not the other way round.

An AMR Fleet That Coordinates Itself

Recorded Gazebo AMR footage overlaid with live fleet telemetry — watch robots pick their own routes, get dispatched to the nearest task, and slow the instant a worker enters their aisle. This is the same engine and scenario running at demos.barquecontech.com, embedded live below.

How the Data Actually Flows

From a task in the queue to a robot on the move — the same path the live demo above runs on.

Task Queue

Pick and put-away tasks generated by the WMS

Fleet Coordination

Dispatches the nearest free robot to each task

Robot Navigation

Robot plans its own route, senses obstacles

Proximity Safety

Auto-slows when a worker enters the aisle

Fleet Dashboard

Live position, task status and utilisation

What a Deployment Includes

The building blocks we combine to fit how your floor actually runs.

Autonomous Mobile Robots

Robots that pick, carry and put away stock along their own routes, no driver and no fixed track.

Fleet Coordination Software

Orchestrates every robot in real time, dispatching tasks to whichever unit is free and closest.

Human-Robot Safety

Proximity sensing that slows or stops a robot the instant a worker shares its aisle.

WMS / WCS Integration

Turns orders into optimised robot moves and keeps pickers and robots working the same task list.

Fleet Dashboard

Live map of every robot, task status and utilisation for the team managing the floor.

Simulation & Layout Modeling

Model the floor and fleet to test layouts and staffing before committing capital.

Connects Into What You Already Run

Fleet data is only useful where your team already works — we integrate rather than replace.

WMS / WCS Systems

Feed live robot task status and completion into the warehouse system your team already runs.

ERP & Order Systems

Tie robot-fulfilled picks back to the order, so customer service has one source of truth.

Alerting Channels

Push fleet exceptions and safety events to SMS, email or a channel your ops team already watches.

What an Autonomous Fleet Changes

Concrete outcomes from taking the walking out of picking and put-away.

More

picks per hour once walking time is replaced by robots bringing stock to the person.

Resilient

throughput through shift gaps and absenteeism, since robots keep moving stock when people can't.

Safer

shared aisles once robots sense and slow for people automatically, rather than relying on paint lines.

Directional outcomes based on what autonomous fleet coordination makes possible — we'll size the specific case against your floor and volumes during a pilot.

It's a Full Software Platform — Not Just Robots

The fleet moves the boxes; the software decides what moves, when, by whom, and proves it happened. Barquecon builds the whole stack around the robots — warehouse management, execution control, order and labour software — and integrates it with what you already run, so automation is comprehensive rather than a bolt-on.

Warehouse Management (WMS)

Receiving, put-away, picking, packing and dispatch on one system of record, with live inventory accuracy and lot/batch traceability.

Execution & Control (WES / WCS)

Real-time orchestration of robots, conveyors, sorters and people, so every resource is always working the optimal next task.

Order & Wave Management

Omnichannel order capture, allocation and wave planning that keeps the fleet fed with the right work and hits carrier cut-offs.

Labour Management

Engineered labour standards, live productivity, attendance and shift planning for the people still working alongside the fleet.

Control Tower & Visibility

One dashboard across every site: inventory, orders, robots and labour, with exception alerting so managers act on what's off.

ERP & API Integration

A clean integration layer connecting ERP, TMS, carriers and customer portals, so fleet data flows end to end without silos.

Already Built for Live Operations — Tailored to Your Floor

These building blocks aren't a concept pitch. We run the same primitives in production today for other clients whose day-to-day mirrors a warehouse — mobile-first goods receipt, zone-level inventory tracking, digital task allocation and workforce tracking. We don't ship a template: we design a custom solution around your flows, starting where the value is clearest and adding heavier layers like autonomous robotics only where your volumes justify it.

Proven Built & running for other clients

  • Mobile-first material inward & goods receipt, with photos and geo-tags
  • Zone / bin-level inventory & consumption tracking
  • Serial / SKU-level tracking for high-value stock (RFID)
  • Digital task allocation, updatable through the day
  • Mobile attendance with regular-vs-overtime split
  • Supervisor and manager web portal, cross-facility
  • On-site MQTT edge gateways with offline queueing
  • ERP / accounts integration keeping book and physical stock aligned

Advanced Option Added where volumes justify it

  • Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) for pick & move, coordinated by fleet software
  • BLE mesh RTLS — worker badges, forklift & cart tags, pallet tags
  • Gate-cam and visual evidence on inbound / outbound
  • GPS / cellular in-transit shipment tracking with geo-fence alerts
  • Digital twin & simulation of the floor and fleet before capital is committed

Robotics is the advanced option, not the default — it slots in once the software platform above already has the floor under control.

Warehouse Automation in Four Phases

From inventory visibility to a self-running floor — a phased path that proves ROI at each stage before the next investment is committed.

Operations & Flow Audit

We map your racks, order profiles, labour data and current systems, building the ROI case for automation with your own numbers.
