Methodology

We integrate fleets without interrupting your production

A 5-step methodology refined across multiple AMR deployments, delivered with minimal production interference.

The Flow+ AMR integration process in five steps: analysis, concept, build, go-live, operate

An integration that costs you production is a failed integration

Most AMR projects underestimate the cost of disruption: lost shifts, missed orders, operator confusion during go-live. We build the entire methodology around avoiding that cost: phased waves, low-traffic cutover windows, dry-runs before live cutover.

From first call to running fleet

  1. Analysis

    Typically 2–4 weeks

    On-site walkthrough. Product flow mapping. WMS/ERP review. We collect data on order patterns, peak windows, and your existing automation. Output: a written assessment with rough scope and ballpark range.

    Deliverable Operational assessment + indicative scope

  2. Concept

    Typically 2–3 weeks

    Fleet sizing. Vendor selection. WMS/ERP integration architecture. Wave deployment plan. Pricing. Reviewed first with your engineering team, then with operations leadership.

    Deliverable Detailed concept proposal: fleet, software, integration, phasing, pricing

  3. Build

    Typically 8–16 weeks

    Flow+ Ctrl configuration against the agreed scope. WMS/ERP integration development. Robot procurement and pre-deployment commissioning.

    Deliverable Validated system, ready for wave 1

  4. Go-live

    One cutover window per wave, typically 2–4 waves

    Cutover in a low-traffic window, over a weekend if you want minimal downtime (optional). Operator training in the days before. Our team is on-site during go-live and on standby for an agreed period afterwards. We always keep a backup plan in place, so your operation keeps running in all situations. Production resumes on the new system, or we roll back before the next shift.

    Deliverable Live fleet, production running, operators trained

  5. Operate

    Continuous, for as long as you want us

    SLA support tier of your choice. On-call team on Tier 1. Service-hour packs for expansion, tuning, or new integrations as your operation evolves.

    Deliverable An AMR fleet that grows with your operation

Four guarantees we build into every project

Minimal production interference

Optional weekend windows, dry-runs.

Production backup plan

A backup plan for operations, so production keeps running if the fleet is down or during maintenance and updates.

Customer-owned software

Flow+ Ctrl runs on your infrastructure, with full documentation.

Transparent SLA

What we cover, what we don't, what it costs. Before you sign.
