Mobile Robot Solutions | Warehouse AMRs

Increase productivity. Protect service. Scale with demand.

Ocado Mobile Robot System (OMRS), powered by Ocado IQ, connects AMRs, associates, and guided manual work so the operation performs as one.

By reducing walking, waiting, and repetitive transport, OMRS helps associates complete more work with less physical effort, in less space. Guided workflows improve pick accuracy, while real-time coordination helps operators use labour more effectively, increase throughput, and maintain reliable service levels even during demand peaks.

Ocado's mobile robot solutions can be deployed within existing facilities with minimal disruption. Operators can introduce automation where it delivers the greatest value, then add robots, workflows, or handheld guidance as requirements change. This modular approach helps accelerate time to value, support faster ROI, and increase capacity without a full warehouse redesign.

Turn changing priorities into reliable service

Order volumes, labour availability, and dispatch deadlines rarely stay constant. When tasks are managed separately, improvements in one area can create delays, congestion, or errors elsewhere.

Ocado IQ continuously plans, assigns, and directs work across people and robots based on live priorities and operating conditions. Chuck AMR helps associates pick faster and more accurately. Porter AMR reduces the labour required to move pallets, cages, and full cases. The Ocado IQ App guides work in manual areas, narrow aisles, and during temporary demand peaks.

The Bridge provides real-time visibility into activity and performance, helping teams identify issues sooner, rebalance work, and protect SLAs before service is affected.

And improvement continues after deployment. Operational data helps teams understand performance, refine workflows, and identify new opportunities to increase productivity over time.

Together, these capabilities help operators reduce walking and errors, lower labour requirements, improve throughput, deliver more reliable service, keep more orders moving accurately and on time and expand capacity for growth.

How the system turns orders into action

Connect the work

OMRS integrates with third-party WES, WMS, ERP, and OMS platforms, bringing orders, priorities, and tasks into one connected fulfilment workflow. It adds intelligent orchestration to the systems you already use, reducing IT burden and improving execution without requiring a major systems overhaul.

Coordinate the floor

Ocado IQ groups orders, sets priorities, plans routes and adjusts work zones as conditions change. People and robots receive direction that reflects the work currently in front of them.

Match the picking mode to the work

Sweep and Rendezvous are concurrent picking modes for AMR workflows. The choice should reflect the work being organised and the configuration of the operation.

Execute and improve

Chuck AMR, Porter AMR and handheld guidance support execution. The Bridge is a management dashboard powered by Ocado IQ, giving supervisors visibility of the AMR operation and controls to manage the work.

Add capacity without redesigning the whole operation

You can start by deploying robots to a specific workflow that needs more capacity. As the workload develops, additional robots or workflows can extend that support without making every improvement depend on a full-site automation project.

Core Bots serve everyday work, Flex Bots provide capacity held on site and activated when needed, and Peak Bots support demand spikes. The fleet size, arrangements, availability models, and commercial terms are determined during solution and deployment phases, and flexible financing including rental options is available to suit your business needs.

Proven in real operations and built for what comes next

Ocado combines deep fulfilment expertise with mobile robotics proven in operations worldwide. Chuck AMR has supported the picking of more than two billion units across logistics, retail distribution, apparel, footwear, healthcare and consumer goods operations. As part of Ocado’s Mobile Robot Solutions, Chuck AMR works alongside Porter AMR and the Ocado IQ App to support a range of warehouse workflows. Chuck AMR supports item picking, Porter AMR handles heavier transport and case-picking loads, and the Ocado IQ App guides associates through manual and robot-assisted tasks on handheld devices. Together, these solutions match the right technology to each workflow, with Ocado IQ coordinating the operation.

Mobile Robot Solutions can support collaborative picking, putaway, replenishment, sorting, returns, pallet and cage transport, case picking, and guided manual work. The right combination depends on the products, processes and operational priorities of each warehouse.
