RESULT
Measurable business impact of Ground-to-Ground AMRs
Reduce manual pallet movement labor
Can help reduce repetitive labor-intensive transport by 20–40%, freeing workers for value-added functions like picking, packing, or quality control.
Improve zone-to-zone delivery speed
Helps reduce time from "picker needs pallet" to "pallet arrives" by 30–50%, decreasing idle time at workstations and increasing throughput.
Increase worker productivity
May reduce non-productive walking and material handling, allowing teams to focus on higher-value work, improving facility throughput by 15–25%.
Expand facility throughput without major changes
Supports gradual capacity expansion by adding robots as volume grows – enabling 200-300% throughput increase during seasonal peaks without warehouse redesign.
Reduce forklift dependency
Lowers routine horizontal pallet moves that tie up forklifts, extending equipment life and reducing maintenance costs by 15-25%.
Gain operational visibility
Provides real-time data on pallet movement, route efficiency, and bottlenecks – enabling data-driven optimization and continuous improvement.

One intelligent system to coordinate your entire robotic fleet
How Deus RMS orchestrates Ground-to-Ground
Individual robots are powerful. A coordinated fleet is transformative. Deus RMS is the control layer that turns Ground-to-Ground AMRs into a unified, intelligent system.
Intelligent task assignment
Deus RMS evaluates available robots, their location, battery status, and current load – then assigns each pallet transport task to the most efficient robot. This ensures optimal routing, load balancing, priority-based dispatch, and continuous throughput without idle time.
Traffic management in shared spaces
Warehouses have workers, forklifts, and equipment all moving simultaneously. Deus RMS prevents chaos by coordinating robot movement, preventing collisions, managing congestion, prioritizing critical flows, and maintaining safe distances from personnel. Result: higher robot density without safety compromises.
Seamless WMS integration
Your WMS doesn't need to think about how pallets move. It just requests them. Deus RMS receives the request, assigns the robot, executes delivery, and reports completion. Pallet transport becomes an automated part of your warehouse execution – not a manual, separate process.
Real-time data and optimization
Every robot movement creates data: route efficiency, task completion time, bottleneck identification, resource utilization. Deus RMS provides real-time visibility so you can continuously optimize operations and make data-driven decisions.

FAQ
Ground-to-Ground AMRs FAQ
What are Ground-to-Ground AMRs?
Autonomous robots that move pallets, racks, carts, and heavy goods at floor level between warehouse zones without fixed infrastructure or manual intervention. They use SLAM and LiDAR navigation to operate independently, avoid obstacles, and integrate with your warehouse systems. They adapt to layout changes and respond to dynamic task assignments.
How are Ground-to-Ground AMRs used in Pallet-to-Person automation?
They transport pallets to picking stations, reducing picker travel time dramatically. When a picker is ready, they request a pallet. A Ground-to-Ground AMR delivers it autonomously. The picker works, requests the next pallet. This automation enables higher-density storage and 4–5x improvement in picking efficiency compared to manual retrieval.
Can Ground-to-Ground AMRs move pallets?
Yes. They're specifically designed for pallet transport at floor level. They handle standard pallets (EUR, 1200×1000 mm), partial pallets, and mixed loads. Load transfer methods vary by robot design – some use open platforms for manual placement, others integrate with automated handling systems.
What payload capacity do Ground-to-Ground AMRs support?
Typical Ground-to-Ground AMRs support 300–600 kg payload. Deus Robotics assesses your pallet weights and operational requirements, then recommends the right model(s). Lighter models are more efficient for lighter loads; heavier models maintain speed and precision under maximum load.
Are Ground-to-Ground AMRs suitable for warehouses with existing forklifts?
Absolutely. They work alongside forklifts perfectly. Use Ground-to-Ground AMRs for routine repetitive transport. Reserve forklifts for specialized tasks that require vertical movement or human judgment. This hybrid approach improves overall facility efficiency.
Can Ground-to-Ground AMRs integrate with WMS or ERP systems?
Yes. They integrate via Deus RMS, which connects to your WMS/ERP for task assignment, priority management, and real-time visibility. When your WMS detects a pallet is needed, it sends a task to Deus RMS. Deus RMS assigns an available robot. The robot executes delivery. Movement data flows back to your ERP for inventory tracking and accounting.
How much does a Ground-to-Ground AMR solution cost?
Cost depends on facility configuration, volume requirements, robot model selection, integration scope, and support level. Typical deployments range from $500K to $2M+ depending on complexity. Most operators achieve ROI within 18–24 months through reduced labor costs and improved throughput. Contact Deus Robotics for a customized quote and ROI analysis based on your specific operation.
What navigation technology do Ground-to-Ground AMRs use?
Ground-to-Ground AMRs use SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) combined with LiDAR sensors for robust autonomous navigation. This enables them to map your warehouse, find optimal routes, and adapt to layout changes without fixed floor markers or infrastructure modification.
How long does deployment typically take?
Deployment typically takes 4-12 weeks from initial consultation to full operation: site assessment (1–2 weeks), robot selection and workflow design (1–2 weeks), pilot deployment (2–4 weeks), WMS/RMS integration (1–2 weeks), staff training (1 week), then full deployment and optimization.
How can I request a Ground-to-Ground AMR demo?
Contact Deus Robotics via website or phone to schedule a consultation. Our specialists will discuss your warehouse challenges, assess your facility (virtually or on-site), analyze current pallet flows, provide preliminary recommendations, and arrange a demonstration. From initial contact to demo typically takes 1–2 weeks.
