ResinDek®: Enhancing Efficiency in Robotic Warehouse Operations
In modern logistics, warehouses equipped with Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) and Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) require specialized flooring solutions. The efficiency and longevity of these automated systems are directly influenced by the quality and characteristics of the floor they operate on.
As the manufacturers of ResinDek® flooring, we have extensive experience in providing optimal surfaces for automated warehouses. Our research shows that proper flooring significantly impacts warehouse efficiency and robot performance. When designing flooring for AMRs and AGVs, we focus on four critical factors:
- Wear Resistance: The constant movement of heavy robots can quickly degrade standard flooring. Our ResinDek® panels are engineered to withstand continuous traffic without deterioration.
- Surface Friction: Robots require the right balance of grip and smooth movement. Too much friction can strain motors and batteries, while too little can cause slippage and inaccuracy.
- Floor Evenness: Even minor irregularities in flooring can affect robot navigation and performance. Our panels are designed and installed to maintain a consistently level surface.
- Reflectiveness: Many AMRs and AGVs use optical sensors for navigation. The reflectiveness of the floor can impact these systems, so we offer finishes that optimize for various sensor technologies.
Our ResinDek® flooring options are designed to address these factors. We offer various solutions that can be tailored to meet different:
- Weight capacities
- Surface finish requirements
- Levels of robot traffic
By customizing these elements, we provide efficient and cost-effective flooring solutions that meet the specific needs of each automated warehouse project.
ResinDek® Mezzanine Flooring Options
There is no one size fits all solution when it comes to mezzanine flooring. That is why ResinDek offers six main variations of its flooring solution, each with their own unique use case.

1 Note the wear life of the topside finish is dependent on the robot loads, wheels, frequency of cleaning and regular maintainence. -
2 *AMRs are mobile robots that navigate freely without following floor markings. They adapt their routes around obstacles and typically carry lighter loads than AGVs, causing less floor wear. -
2 **AGVs are guided robots that follow floor markings. They're heavier and carry bigger loads than AMRs. AGVs stop when they meet obstacles. Their fixed paths cause more wear on specific floor areas.
Industrial flooring solutions for mobile robotics applications
Choosing the appropriate flooring surface and coating is crucial for maximizing the efficiency of mobile robots operating on industrial work platforms as well as the ground floor. The right flooring solution tailored to your specific traffic requirements ensures optimal performance, enabling seamless robotic operations within your facility.
The MetaGard® SST Steel Decking Surface is ResinDek’s most robust and heavy-duty solution – being able to carry repeated extreme loads from automated and manual traffic. It consists of stainless steel that covers both the top and the sides of each high-density wood flooring panel.
