Phase 2 and continue building our automation capabilities together.”
The first phase of Autrix’ s automation project addressed a real-world problem for specialist retailers, using the company’ s AMR( autonomous mobile robotics) to bring products to special, ergonomically designed stations, rather than requiring staff to walk long distances across the factory line.
It is a process that not only increases efficiency and productivity, but also boosts accuracy in order processing and reduces the physical demands on warehouse staff members. Capable of moving up to 2 m / s with a 600kg payload, the fleet of autonomous robots can easily move between the warehouse’ s 700 racks, 46,000 bins and 9 workstations to increase capacity at scale.
Phase 2 of the development built on this further, seeing Wayland Games’ order fulfilment process modernised by introducing fully automated packing technology to further support Wayland Games’ growth trajectory.
Joseph Daft, Director at Autrix, said:“ Seeing the immediate impact of Phase 1 validates everything we believe about making intelligent automation accessible to growing businesses.
“ Wayland Games represents the best of British speciality retail and they’ re a real success story, having thrived as an independent retailer for 15 years. But companies like this need to modernise if they’ re to stay ahead and achieve further success. Wayland Games has built something remarkable in the tabletop gaming community- Our job is to ensure their operational capabilities can scale with their ambitions. The success of Phase 1 and now the recent completion of Phase 2 demonstrate how the right technology partnership can drive sustainable growth.”
The project saw the integration of energy-efficient lighting and solar panels, as well as utilising the ACS technology to reduce waste and improve resource utilisation, aligning with both companies’ strong commitments to sustainability.
Following the successful completion of the first phase at the new warehouse near Brentwood, Essex, Phase 2 of the project commenced in November 2025 and is now complete.
