Integrated, modular brownfield micro-automation for a more efficient, scalable and resilient warehouse

Market evolution is driving the need for warehouses that are increasingly flexible, fast and interconnected.
However, automation does not necessarily mean building a new facility.
It means choosing the right technologies, integrating them effectively and managing them efficiently.

Beta 80’s Smart Logistics is a consulting and technology-driven approach that combines modular automation, software integration and an end-to-end view of logistics processes.
A model designed to increase productivity, capacity and resilience, without disrupting operations in brownfield environments.

A pragmatic approach to automation

 

In today’s landscape, many companies face a crossroads:

  • investing in large-scale automated systems;
  • progressively improving existing processes.

Smart Logistics was created to offer a third option: targeted, modular and scalable automation, integrated with existing infrastructure (brownfield) and deployable in short timeframes.

The goal is not automation for its own sake, but tangible improvement in operational performance.

Beta 80’s Smart Logistics approach

For Beta 80, implementing a Smart Logistics solution means designing and delivering an end-to-end project, including:

  • analysis of processes and real data;
  • identification of bottlenecks and inefficiencies;
  • selection of best-of-breed solutions;
  • integration of different technologies into a coherent ecosystem;
  • ensuring control and visibility through software.

Beta 80 delivers a tailored architecture designed to evolve over time.

Vendor free

Vendor-free and results-driven

Beta 80’s approach is vendor-independent.
This means:

  • selecting the best technologies available on the market;
  • integrating solutions from multiple vendors;
  • always choosing based on actual customer value.

Unlike system manufacturers or single-technology providers, Beta 80 does not offer predefined solutions, but designs an architecture aligned with processes, structural constraints and strategic goals.

In addition, through Stockager® Suite, its proprietary WMS, Beta 80 ensures:

  • end-to-end flow control;
  • interoperability between different technologies;
  • real-time visibility;
  • full automation governance.

Software is the core of Smart Logistics.

Smart Automation solutions

The offering includes a set of modular technologies that can be implemented individually or combined in brownfield environments, such as:

  • goods-to-person systems;
  • autonomous mobile robots (AMR) and assisted picking solutions;
  • mini-sorters and intelligent sorting systems;
  • high-density automated pallet storage systems.

Each solution is designed to:

  • increase productivity;
  • reduce operational errors;
  • optimize space utilization;
  • improve working conditions;
  • ensure business continuity during implementation.

Benefits of micro-automation

Solutions are scalable and can be progressively extended, supporting business growth.

In particular, brownfield micro-automation ensures:

  • fast ROI;
  • increased productivity;
  • error reduction;
  • modular scalability over time;
  • minimal organizational impact.

These solutions are quick to deploy and compatible with existing infrastructure.

A structured, turnkey journey

Smart Logistics is delivered through a structured approach:

  1. Assessment and process analysis

    Flow mapping, bottleneck identification, KPI definition.

  2. Design and technology selection

    Selection of the most suitable solutions and definition of the integrated architecture.

  3. Implementation and software integration

    Installation, configuration, testing and go-live without operational disruption.

  4. Continuous optimization

    Performance monitoring, scalability and continuous improvement.

A single partner, from initial consulting to post go-live support

Evolve without disruption

Warehouse requirements change rapidly.
The ability to adapt is therefore a competitive advantage.

Beta 80’s Smart Logistics enables tangible short-term results while building a sustainable and integrated evolution path.

An approach that combines technology, expertise and strategic vision to turn automation into measurable value.

What are brownfield micro-automation solutions in the warehouse?

 Brownfield micro-automation solutions are targeted interventions that introduce modular technologies within an existing warehouse, without the need to build new facilities. They enable improvements in specific operational areas by integrating with the current infrastructure, ensuring business continuity and reduced implementation times. 

How can you optimize an existing warehouse without disrupting operations?

 To optimize an existing warehouse, it is essential to adopt a progressive approach: analyze processes, identify bottlenecks, and introduce integrated, scalable micro-automation solutions. This makes it possible to improve productivity and accuracy while keeping operations running, without disruptive impacts on the organization. 

What are the benefits of micro-automation in the warehouse?

 Micro-automation in the warehouse delivers tangible and measurable benefits: increased productivity, reduced operational errors, improved space utilization and fast ROI. In addition, thanks to their modular nature, these solutions can scale over time, supporting business growth. 

When should micro-automation be introduced instead of a fully automated system?

 Micro-automation is the ideal choice when the goal is to improve logistics performance without undertaking high investments or complex projects. It is particularly suitable for brownfield environments, where there is a need to act quickly on existing processes with flexible, integrated and results-driven solutions
