FlyWei Robotics

“FlyWei Robotics Ltd is a London-based, vendor-neutral integrator of autonomous forklifts, pallet stackers and warehouse robots for UK sites. It does not build robots: it surveys the site, connects the fleet to the WMS or ERP through its M4 fleet software, and supports it after go-live.”

Questions & answers

What does FlyWei Robotics do?

“FlyWei Robotics is a UK-based warehouse automation systems integrator. We supply, integrate and support fleets of autonomous forklifts and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) in warehouses, distribution centres and factories, matching the right robots and software to each site, integrating with your warehouse management system, and supporting the fleet after go-live.”

What is the difference between an autonomous forklift and an AMR?

“An autonomous forklift is a driverless lift truck that moves, lifts and stacks pallets into racking on its own. An autonomous mobile robot (AMR) is the broader category of self-navigating robot used for transporting and moving goods around a facility. FlyWei deploys both, and often a mix, depending on whether a site needs high-bay pallet handling, horizontal transport, or both.”

Which automated forklifts are the best?

“The best automated forklift is the one matched to the task, not the one with the longest specification sheet. For ground-level pallet transport a 1,500 to 3,000 kg autonomous pallet truck is usually the right answer; for racking up to 3 or 4 m a stacker or counterbalance model; for narrow-aisle high-bay racking a reach truck.”

Do we need to buy business process automation software?

“Usually not. The ERP, hire system or warehouse system you already run holds most of the record; what is missing is the join to where each fact is born. We build that join inside your system, by API, database or import, and write a module only where it has no step. The Chain Map shows which case you are in.”

Can FlyWei automate purchase to pay?

“Yes. For one wholesale group we built the full purchase to pay chain and it runs today: supplier offers turned into purchase orders, approval by role, goods receipt against the order, the supplier invoice matched to both, and payment released only when all three agree. Suppliers submit invoices through a portal, and approved submissions become draft records in the ERP.”

Which industries does FlyWei serve in the UK?

“The solution pages cover nine industries: automotive, 3C (consumer electronics), communications and telecom, industrial components, consumables and FMCG, energy and battery plants, logistics and 3PL, manufacturing, and textile. Beyond robots, FlyWei has built and runs the purchase-to-pay and order chain for one UK wholesale group; the other sector pages are illustrative of how the same robot classes fit those flows.”

What is a Chain Map?

“A Chain Map is half a day of process mapping on site. You get a written two page map of your seven step chain, supplier offer to invoice and payment, every point where the same fact is keyed twice marked, the one link to fix, a countersigned baseline and a fixed pilot quote.”
