Automated Material Transport in Warehousing

Automated Pallet & Load Transport

SESTO Robotics deploys Magnus Forklift  to automate the transport of heavy loads across warehouse environments, reducing manual pallet jack.

Powered by the Magnus AMR platform, the system autonomously moves loads between inbound docks, storage zones, picking areas, and outbound staging points to create a smooth material flow.

Challenges
  • Warehouse operators spent significant time manually moving pallets and heavy loads between zones, reducing available manpower for picking and packing.
  • High product mix and fluctuating demand required a transport solution that could adapt quickly without reconfiguring fixed infrastructure.
  • Manual pallet movement created congestion around aisles, intersections, and staging areas, affecting delivery timing, safety, and overall throughput.
Solutions

SESTO implemented Magnus Forklift to autonomously pick up, transport, and place pallets and load carriers on demand.

The solution included:

  • Autonomous pallet pickup and drop-off at transfer points
  • Precision alignment for stable lifting and accurate placement
  • Dynamic task dispatch and fleet coordination via MagFleet
  • Intelligent navigation in shared human–robot environments with forklifts and operators

Each mission is optimised in real time, ensuring materials arrive at the right location without disrupting ongoing warehouse operations.

Outcome
  • Staff spend less time on routine pallet transport and more time on picking, packing, and exception handling.
  • Autonomous transport ensures consistent pallet delivery timing across every shift.
  • Controlled AMR movement lowers uncontrolled forklift traffic in busy warehouse zones.
