Robot flooring for automated workspaces

Made in Britain since 1996, Ecotile is a robot-ready flooring solution trusted in smart warehouses. Our ESD-safe, durable interlocking system installs fast and keeps picking systems, autonomous robots (AMRs), and automated guided vehicles (AGVs) moving.

Quick summary

->

Ecotile is a robot-ready interlocking floor tile proudly made in Britain and trusted for over 30 years in distribution centres, fulfilment centres and logistics hubs.  It can be installed directly over your existing floor without glue, even if it’s cracked, damp or worn. As a modular system, Ecotile makes it easy to change pick zones, robot routes, or replace individual tiles. For sites that need to protect robots from static damage and meet manufacturer guidelines, Ecotile is also available in an ESD option.

Don’t make this mistake when choosing robot flooring

AMRs and AGVs require consistent, smooth surfaces. Epoxy and concrete floors may look the part on day one, but after a few years of robot traffic and vehicle movement, they start to fail. Cracks, pitting, dust, worn markings and fading anti-static coatings all lead to unplanned downtime. Before long, the floor will need repairing or recoating, which means stopping robots and interrupting your operations.

Ecotile is a long-lasting surface that can withstand 24/7 robot traffic for 20+ years without wearing down. It will never crack or stop performing, and its ESD properties are built into the material itself, keeping your robots moving with permanent static protection.

How the wrong floor can stop your robots:

  • Chipped or pitted concrete or epoxy
  • Markings wear through
  • ESD coatings wear away and stop being compliant
  • Concrete dust causing wear on robots
  • Cheap matting curling at edges or being ripped up
  • Faded zone markings
  • Significant downtime for repairs
  • The same surface problems returning again and again

Ecotile keeps your robots moving

Our interlocking tiles provide a smooth, level surface that guarantees consistent performance of your robot fleet, day in, day out. The surface never wears out, so there's no need to stop robots for floor repair and maintenance.

Permanent static protection

In many cases, ESD flooring is specified by robot manufacturers to prevent static damage. Many robot flooring options use coatings which work great for a year or two, but simply wear away. Ecotile offers permanent static protection that never fades.

Installs fast over existing floors

The interlocking design allows fast deployment, even over uneven or damaged subfloors. No adhesives or curing time is required. Need to change the route layout? Simply lift the loose-lay modular floor tiles, change the layout, and you’re operational straight away.

Frequently asked questions

Some of the most common questions we get from engineers, facility managers, and health & safety teams.

What flooring do AGV, AMR and warehouse robots need?

->

Most AGVs and AMRs need a consistent, smooth surface for their navigation sensors (LiDAR, SLAM, QR codes, fiducial markers, or magnetic strips). Since they operate so frequently over the same spot, the ideal solution should be durable and hard-wearing. Many robot manufacturers call for floors with ESD or anti-static properties to protect onboard electronics from static damage.

Can Ecotile flooring be installed on a mezzanine level?

->

Yes. Ecotile can be fitted directly onto any mezzanine (including timber), with the same ESD options available as on the ground floor, so automated routes can continue uninterrupted between levels.

How long does installation take?

->

Interlocking floor tiles like Ecotile require no adhesive or curing time, so installation is typically much quicker than alternatives like epoxy or floor paints. Because tiles can be laid section by section, many sites keep operations and other trades running while installation takes place.

Do the interlocking joints cause a problem for robots?

->

No, Ecotile is heavier than it looks, and once connected together, is incredibly tough and durable. Some cheap matting is hollowed or made with less material, causing it to lift and curl under robot traffic. Ecotile is a high-performance product and is proven all over the world in smart warehouses.
