Your warehouse automation project. Engineered together.
Keymas brings warehouse equipment, controls and software together in one coordinated project, from understanding your operation to installation, training and ongoing support.
Looking for a warehouse automation company to help turn an operational challenge into a practical system? We work with UK warehouses, distribution centres and manufacturing operations to connect conveyors, picking, sortation, robotics and K-Store warehouse software around the flow of goods.
A warehouse automation integrator for the whole operation
Successful automation depends on how each part of the warehouse works with the next. Picking needs replenishment. Packing needs a consistent supply of work. Conveyors need clear routing instructions. Software needs confirmation of what has happened on the floor.
As your warehouse automation integrator, Keymas considers the complete process and coordinates equipment selection, system layout, controls and software interfaces. We define responsibilities, handover points and testing requirements around the agreed project.
That can mean improving one process, extending an existing installation or bringing several automation technologies together in a wider warehouse transformation.
The right combination of automation and software
We start with the work your warehouse needs to do, then select the systems to support it. Your project can combine:
Conveyor systems
Connect goods in, picking, packing and despatch with controlled carton, tote or pallet movement. Plan accumulation, transfers and access around your layout.
Picking and goods-to-person
Bring picking workflows, operator stations and suitable automated storage or goods-to-person equipment into a connected order fulfilment process.
Sortation and despatch
Identify cartons or parcels and route them to the required packing station, consolidation point or despatch destination using agreed routing logic.
AMRs and warehouse robotics
Review where mobile robots or other robotic equipment can support transport and picking, including the interfaces and handoffs with people and fixed equipment.
K-Store WMS and picking software
Connect inventory, locations, orders and warehouse tasks with scanning, picking workflows and reporting that support day-to-day operation.
Controls and system integration
Coordinate PLCs, warehouse control systems, barcode readers and business software, with defined status feedback and exception handling.
Software for automation
Warehouse automation needs the right information as well as the right equipment. K-Store WMS manages stock and operational tasks, while warehouse controls coordinate equipment activity on the floor.
We plan software integration alongside the physical system: how orders enter, how work is released, how goods are identified and how completion or exceptions are reported. Interfaces with your existing WMS, ERP or order systems are assessed as part of the project.
This connects the operational workflow from goods receipt and put-away through picking, packing and despatch, with visibility for the people managing it.
From concept to go-live and beyond
One project needs a coordinated delivery plan. Keymas brings engineering, software and implementation together around your operation.
- 01 / UNDERSTAND
Start with the operation
Review product sizes, order patterns, peak demand, current processes, site constraints and the outcomes that matter.
- 02 / DESIGN
Build a practical plan
Develop the layout, equipment specification, software workflows and integration scope, supported by an agreed business case.
- 03 / DELIVER
Install and commission
Coordinate installation, configuration and testing around the site. Check normal workflows, exceptions and system handovers before go-live.
- 04 / SUPPORT
Prepare and support your team
Train operators and supervisors, agree aftercare, and plan the maintenance and technical support the installation needs.
Automate the flow from picking to despatch
A faster machine is only useful when the process around it can keep up. We consider picking output, conveyor capacity, buffering, packing workload and despatch routing together.
The aim is a controlled flow of work: the right goods arriving at the right place, with the next process ready to receive them. Barcode scanning, routing information and equipment feedback help connect each stage.
We also assess where manual work should remain, how operators access the system and how your team handles exceptions.
Make the investment fit your warehouse
Whether you operate an existing warehouse or are planning a new facility, the starting point is the business requirement. We assess potential improvements against your current workload and constraints.
- Reduce repetitive movement: identify manual transport and avoidable travel between processes.
- Plan for peak demand: consider capacity, replenishment, buffers and despatch deadlines across the complete flow.
- Improve visibility and traceability: connect physical activity with stock, order and task records.
- Develop in stages: assess what can be retained or upgraded and where phased automation makes sense.
Project costs and expected returns depend on the equipment, interfaces, site works and operating profile. We help define the scope before recommending a solution.

Planning a warehouse automation project?
What does a warehouse automation integrator do?
An integrator connects the layout, handling equipment, controls and software into a working system. Keymas coordinates those elements around the agreed workflows, interfaces, installation and testing requirements.
Can you automate an existing UK warehouse?
Yes. We review the existing layout, equipment, software and daily operation, then assess suitable upgrades or extensions. Installation phasing and operational disruption are considered when defining the project.
Can you work with our existing WMS or ERP?
We assess the available interfaces and the information that needs to pass between systems. The integration scope and testing are agreed around your business software and selected automation. K-Store WMS can also form part of the project.
Do we need to automate the whole warehouse at once?
No. A project can start with a specific bottleneck, conveyor line or picking process. We consider the wider operation so the first stage supports a practical route for future development.

Tell us what slows the operation down, what you need to achieve and what already works. A site layout, product details and typical order volumes give us a useful starting point.
