Warehouse automation use cases
From e-commerce fulfilment to cold chain distribution — AMRs deliver measurable results across Canadian warehouse operations.
Goods-to-Person Picking
AMRs bring shelves or totes directly to pickers, eliminating walking time and increasing pick rates by up to 3x compared to traditional methods.
3x pick rate increaseInbound & Outbound Transport
Automate pallet movement from receiving docks to storage, and from storage to shipping. Dematic AMRs handle loads up to 1,500 kg.
Up to 1,500 kg payloadInventory Management
Autonomous inventory scanning robots traverse aisles, read barcodes, and update your WMS in real time — eliminating manual cycle counts.
99.9% inventory accuracySortation & Fulfilment
High-throughput sortation for e-commerce fulfilment centres. Scale capacity during peak seasons without adding permanent headcount.

Warehouse robot FAQ for Canadian operators
What is an AMR (Autonomous Mobile Robot)?
An AMR is a robot that navigates autonomously using sensors and maps — unlike AGVs that follow fixed tracks. AMRs adapt to dynamic warehouse environments, avoid obstacles, and can be reprogrammed for new workflows without infrastructure changes.
How much does a warehouse robot cost in Canada?
AMR systems typically range from $80,000–$500,000+ CAD depending on fleet size and integration complexity. Most deployments achieve ROI within 18–36 months based on Canadian labour rates and throughput improvements.
Do warehouse robots integrate with WMS systems?
Yes. Dematic and Youibot AMRs integrate with major WMS platforms including SAP, Oracle, and Manhattan Associates. We manage the integration as part of the deployment.
What's the minimum warehouse size for robots?
There's no strict minimum, but AMRs typically make economic sense for warehouses over 20,000 sq ft with 10+ pickers. We conduct a free assessment to determine if your operation is a good fit.
