PCE Automation Floor Readiness™

Engineered Floors for High-Performance Automated Warehouses

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.

Why Floor Readiness Matters for Automation

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.

Our 6-Step Automation Floor Readiness Process

1. Automation Floor Requirements Analysis

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.

2. Technical Standards & Performance Definition

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

3. Advanced Floor Engineering & Upgrade Strategy

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.

4. Precision Execution & Quality Control

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

5. Performance Testing & Automation Verification

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.

6. Handover, Certification & Warranty

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.

The PCE Advantage

  • Independent, engineering-led approach

  • Deep expertise in industrial and automated floors

  • Integration of assessment, upgrade, and verification

  • Reduced automation risk and lifecycle cost
