Flooring for robots
Floor tiles suitable for robots - for AMR & AGVs, e.g., in smart warehouses
This flame-retardant and robust tile system bridges the gap between conventional industrial flooring and the extreme demands of modern mobile robot fleets consisting of AMRs and AGVs – and is also suitable for quick and easy retrofitting. With a material thickness of 10 mm, it offers a physical load-bearing capacity and Shore hardness of 90 to 92, far exceeding market standards and specifically contributing to operational safety according to ISO 3691-4. Driverless transport vehicles with fixed guidance via magnetic or optical guide tape along predefined routes (AGVs – Automated Guided Vehicles) place particular stress on the floor, as they always travel the same path. Autonomous mobile robots with free navigation and dynamic route planning (AMRs – Autonomous Mobile Robots), which navigate using LiDAR, cameras, or ultrasound, have especially high requirements for floor evenness and environmental stability.
The "Invisible Joint" principle: Maximum navigation precision
A major weakness of conventional modular floors are visible joints, which can be interpreted by optical sensors (cameras/LiDAR) as image noise or obstacles.
-
Concealed click connection: The system uses an integrated, interlocking connection that creates a visually seamless surface after installation.
-
Signal stability: By eliminating visible joint patterns, the reliability of fiducial markers (QR codes) and SLAM mapping is significantly increased.
Industrial flooring and floor covering for robots made of plastic tiles for precise camera / LiDAR navigation according to DIN EN ISO 3691-4
Standard industrial floors (such as epoxy resin or polished concrete) often have a high gloss level. If the laser beams of the LiDAR scanner strike a reflective surface at a shallow angle, they are not scattered back to the sensor but reflected away. This creates "phantom obstacles" or "holes" in the digital map (SLAM mapping) for the robot. This leads to abrupt emergency stops or navigation errors, which drastically reduce OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) . Our plastic tiles, on the other hand, are matte. The tiles are also slip-resistant and durable , making them ideal for use in warehouses, production areas, and logistics environments.
Why 10 mm of solid material in the plastic tiles makes the difference
In industrial practice, the material thickness determines the long-term stability of your automation:
-
Bridging of existing defects (brownfield specialist): The particularly high 10 mm layer thickness has a structurally compensating effect. Cracks, expansion joints or minor unevenness in the underlying concrete are "bridged", which often makes the time-consuming leveling (filling/grinding) of the substrate unnecessary.
-
Vibration protection for the sensors: The high inherent damping of the solid material protects the sensitive robotics hardware from micro-vibrations, which extends the calibration cycles and reduces wear on drive axes.
-
Heavy-duty performance: Designed for mixed operation – easily withstands high point loads from heavy-duty AMRs as well as classic forklift traffic.
Technical Highlights & Compliance
-
Fire protection: Certified according to Bfl-s1 (flame-resistant) – critical for the insurance of automated high-bay warehouses.
-
Grip & Odometry: The surface texture is calibrated to ensure an ideal coefficient of friction for the odometry calculation of the robots (prevents wheel slippage during acceleration).
-
Sustainability: Made from highly compressed recycled polymer, fully recyclable and recyclable when relocating.
- Easy to clean (tires may leave color marks on the plastic tiles)
Recommended use: Robot floor coverings for Industry 4.0, smart warehouses and logistics
This system is the first choice for companies that want to convert their existing infrastructure to autonomous logistics processes without lengthy construction times and without compromising the navigation accuracy of their robots.
