The VersaTile hardware
The tiles are the machine.
VersaTile replaces fixed conveyors, diverters and tracks with a field of intelligent tiles. Each one is an active cell. Together they form a surface that stores, moves, sorts and presents — all at once. No dedicated machines for separate jobs, and no fixed infrastructure to design the building around.
The unit
Every tile is an active cell.
The tile is the building block of every VersaTile system. It holds a load and moves it, which is what collapses storage and movement into a single function. Add tiles to add capacity. The system scales by extending the field, rather than by bolting together separate machines.
One unit type, not a fleet
A single repeating unit to install, power and maintain — instead of racking, conveyors and shuttles that each need their own engineering.
Multi-layer field
Layers stack the tiled field upwards for high storage density without increasing the footprint.
Put wall included
A put wall is built into the same structure — presentation and sortation in a single, unified system.
VersaTile Matrix · totes
A multi-layer field for totes.
Matrix stacks the tiled field into multiple layers, building density upwards as well as outwards. Totes are buffered, sequenced and presented to pickers across the full three-dimensional field, with a put wall built into the same structure. High storage density and high presentation rates in the same footprint.
Grid · pallets & cages
Self-propelled tiles for heavy loads.
Grid applies the tiled model in two dimensions to cages, dollies and pallets. Each tile is independent and self-propelled — no fixed conveyors, no tracks. Cost-effective hardware built specifically for heavy unit loads, designed to make automation viable where it never has been before.
Self-propelled, no tracks
Each Grid tile moves independently with no fixed conveyors or tracks — the field is the infrastructure.
Heavy unit loads
Designed specifically for pallets, cages and dollies — making automation viable for loads that have always been manual.
Modular and scalable
No groundworks. No structural changes. Days to install.
Because the system is modular and needs no fixed infrastructure, it installs into existing space without civil works or building modifications. Many deployments can be operational within days of hardware arriving on site — and the same modularity means the system grows with the operation rather than being sized for a peak that may be years away.
Operational in days
No civil works means no long lead times. Most sites are running within days of hardware arriving on site.
Into existing space
Modular tiles install into the building you already have — around columns, into odd corners, on existing floors.
Scales with demand
Add tiles to grow capacity. The system is sized for today and extended for tomorrow, not over-specified for a distant peak.
From the team
“VersaTile is designed with operators and their customers in mind – that means it works for real world applications, under real world conditions.”
