Led · Seed · Jun 2024
VersaTile has developed a modular automation platform—an AI-driven dynamic tiling "intelligent floor"—that precisely locates and moves products in high-intensity fulfilment centres. The system is self-learning and responds to unpredictable changes in real time, and can be integrated into warehouses without altering existing infrastructure. VersaTile says the technology doubles productivity while using half the space of traditional systems, and its 3D configuration delivers a threefold increase in pick and presentation rates. The company’s first customer is Wincanton, where the solution is increasing order-picking efficiency and facilitating order picking within minutes. VersaTile is led by the team behind UK manufacturing firm Tharsus Group and is launching its automation platform to enhance productivity in UK warehouses. The business also intends to bring high-skilled jobs to a town and surrounding area outside London and the South East as it commercialises the technology.
