lower operating costs
Target reduction on the automated workflow
DEPLOYMENT / TRAINING / OPERATIONS
Robotic labour.
Managed
end to end.
AI-powered robotics for
warehouses and factories
We select, train and operate the right robot for each workflow. One partner, from the first assessment to daily operations.
01 / THE OPERATING CASE
A lower cost per task.
A clear route to deployment.
A managed robotics service, scoped around your workflow and measured against your operating baseline.
GROUND LAYER COMMERCIAL TARGETS
robot CapEx
Robotics delivered as a managed service
weeks to deployment
Target timing for a qualified workflow
Targets depend on the workflow, robot availability and agreed scope. Final terms follow assessment.
02 / WORKFLOWS IN MOTION
Physical work.
Already moving.
From inbound handling to production and outbound. Start with the work that makes the operating case.
Workflow footage: Flink Robotics and Formic. Illustrative applications, assessed for each facility.
Parcel singulation
Separate mixed parcels for downstream sorting.
Piece picking & sorting
Handle individual items, orders and returns.
Case packing
Load products into cases and prepare shipments.
Palletising & depalletising
Stack and unstack cases or goods.
Pallet movement
Move loads between docks, buffers and lines.
Trailer unloading
Transfer inbound goods into the facility.
Machine tending
Load and unload production equipment.
Pallet wrapping
Finish and secure outbound loads.
03 / THE PRESSURES ON YOUR FLOOR
The same pressures.
Every shift.
Unfilled roles
Hard-to-fill shifts leave critical work exposed.
Physical strain
Repetitive lifting and handling take a toll on people.
Uncertain throughput
Absence and turnover make output harder to plan.
Rising operating costs
Overtime and temporary cover put pressure on margins.
04 / ONE OPERATING PARTNER
The right robot.
For each workflow.
YOUR WORKFLOWTHE ROBOT WE SELECT
Move pallets
Autonomous pallet mover
Sort mixed parcels
Vision-guided robotic arm
Handle totes
Mobile manipulator
Different robot manufacturers across your operation. One partner responsible for making them work.
05 / OUR ROBOTICS PARTNERS
Three approaches.
More adaptable work.
We work across the robotics ecosystem to select the platform for the task, the environment and the economics.
Platform capabilities and availability vary by workflow. We establish the fit during assessment.
06 / THE TEAM BEHIND THE OPERATION
Human operations.
Physical AI.
Experience in both.
LARGE-SCALE HUMAN OPERATIONS
1.6 millionblue-collar workers
hired and managed
Across 10,000+ workplaces in warehousing, manufacturing and other operational environments.
ROBOTICS MODEL TRAINING
Leading frontier
AI labs
Experience contributing real-world task data to train robotics models with frontier AI labs.
10,000+ hoursRecorded data for AI training
58 environmentsReal-world task capture
Team experience across prior operating and AI projects.
07 / WHY NOW
Robotics has reached
an AI inflection point.
More adaptable robots make new operating workflows worth evaluating now.
Models that understand
Vision, language and action models help robots interpret unfamiliar tasks.
Systems that adapt
Learning-based control handles more variation in objects and conditions.
Economics that improve
Reusable skills and accessible hardware expand the set of viable workflows.
08 / HOW IT WORKS
A deployment is
a learning process.
Ground Layer manages the process with your team and the robot maker.
Assess the workflow
Map volumes, variation, costs and site constraints.
Select the platform
Choose the robot and agree the operating case.
Capture, train & fine-tune
Collect task data and work with the robot maker on performance.
Validate & deploy
Test safety, integration, quality and acceptance criteria.
Operate & improve
Monitor output, resolve exceptions and keep learning.
LET’S START ON YOUR FLOOR
One facility.
One workflow.
A measured pilot.
Show us the work. We’ll assess the task, select the platform and define what a successful deployment looks like.
