Modern automated warehouses demand more than just concrete floors — they require precision-engineered surfaces that enable robots, shuttles, and automated storage systems to operate accurately, safely, and continuously.
PCE Automation Floor Readiness™ is a comprehensive assurance and upgrade program designed to prepare, verify, and optimize industrial concrete floors for advanced automation systems, including AutoStore, Geek+, Hai Robotics, AMRs, AGVs, and high-density racking systems.
We ensure your floor is not just compliant — but automation-ready.
Automated systems are extremely sensitive to floor performance.
Even minor deviations can lead to:
Navigation errors and robot downtime
Excessive wheel wear and vibration
Reduced picking accuracy and system efficiency
Long-term structural and operational risks
PCE bridges the critical gap between automation technology requirements and real-world concrete floor performance.
We begin by understanding how your automated warehouse will operate.
Type of automation system (AutoStore, Geek+, Hai Robotics, AMR/AGV)
Robot load, wheel type, speed, and navigation method
Racking systems, grid layouts, aisle configuration
Operational intensity and future scalability
This ensures the floor is engineered to support actual operational demands, not generic specifications.
Based on system requirements, PCE defines clear, measurable floor performance criteria, including:
Floor flatness & levelness (FF/FL or system-specific tolerances)
Surface regularity for robot navigation
Concrete strength and abrasion resistance
Slip resistance and surface durability
Compliance with international standards and automation requirements
If the existing floor does not meet automation requirements, we design the optimal upgrade solution:
Precision floor grinding to enhance flatness and surface regularity, or
New concrete overlay or slab construction engineered for automation performance
Design decisions are made to minimize disruption while maximizing long-term performance.
All upgrade works are executed under strict technical supervision:
High-accuracy grinding or concrete placement
Controlled tolerances suitable for automated systems
Seamless integration with existing operations
Documentation of construction quality and compliance
Before handover, PCE verifies that the floor meets all defined criteria through:
Floor flatness and surface regularity testing
Abrasion resistance and durability checks
Slip resistance assessment
Concrete strength verification
This step ensures the floor is proven, not assumed, to be automation-ready.
We deliver complete technical documentation and assurance:
Final performance reports
Compliance verification against automation requirements
Operational recommendations
Performance warranty for automation use
Your automation system is ready to operate with confidence.
Independent, engineering-led approach
Deep expertise in industrial and automated floors
Integration of assessment, upgrade, and verification
Reduced automation risk and lifecycle cost
Floors engineered for performance, not just construction
