Use Case: Warehouse Operations
Fleet orchestration for high-tempo warehouse AMR deployments
Pick-and-pack, inbound receiving, and replenishment runs share the same floor. Stateful Robotics keeps all three moving when conditions change mid-shift.
The Problem
What breaks AMR fleet operations in warehouses
Blocked aisles during peak pick windows
A forklift, a pallet, or a staging cart blocks a primary aisle mid-shift. Static routing systems stop or reroute every robot on that path, including those not directly affected. Floor throughput drops immediately and doesn't recover until the block clears.
Mixed-operation task conflicts
Inbound receiving and outbound pick runs often run concurrently. When both send robots toward the same zone without coordination, robots queue behind each other. Sequential dispatch doesn't see the conflict until it has already formed.
Unplanned robot downtime mid-run
A robot goes offline for charging or a fault during a multi-robot pick run. Tasks assigned to that robot don't complete. Other robots in the run may be waiting on them as dependencies. The run stalls unless the system can reassign immediately.
Priority changes from the WMS mid-shift
A late carrier booking makes a dock shipment urgent. The WMS updates the priority, but an AMR run in progress is already executing the lower-priority tasks. There's no clean way to insert the urgent run without restarting the whole floor cycle.
How It Works
Stateful task tracking across concurrent runs
Ops requests compiled to task graphs
Each WMS ops request is compiled into a directed task graph before any robot moves. Dependencies between tasks are resolved at compile time. The system knows which tasks can run in parallel, which must sequence, and which robots are eligible for each task type.
Execution state tracked continuously
Every completed task is marked in the graph. The system maintains which tasks are done, in progress, queued, and unstarted throughout the run. This state is the basis for replanning: the system doesn't need to restart from scratch to respond to a block or a robot going offline.
Minimum-disruption replanning on events
Block detected, robot offline, or priority update: the replanning engine patches the running graph, keeping completed tasks in place and only rescheduling the affected portion. Runs that are not affected continue without interruption.
Fits with what you already run
Stateful Robotics connects to your WMS via REST. There is no proprietary protocol to implement. Robot vendor adapters for Locus Robotics, Geek+, and 6 River Systems are included. Custom adapters are built during onboarding.
The system runs inside your network or in a single-tenant cloud environment. No fleet data leaves your deployment boundary.
Warehouse Pilot
Start with a single floor zone
Pilots begin with one zone and expand when you're ready. Onboarding covers the WMS connection, robot adapter setup, and a supervised test run.
