ResinDek® Industrial Flooring for AGV & AMR Applications
Maximize operational throughput with heavy-duty flooring engineered for seamless AGV and AMR performance
Automated throughput relies on a precise operational environment. Key variables, including coefficient of friction, surface roughness, floor flatness, and gloss, can disrupt AMR/AGV guidance systems. We collaborate directly with robotics OEMs and integrators to rigorously test and optimize panel surfaces before installation.
ResinDek Industrial Flooring for Robotic Operations
- ResinDek flooring is specifically engineered to meet the needs of robotic traffic
- ResinDek engineered wood panels have been extensively tested with AGVs and AMRs for the coefficient of friction, surface roughness, wear resistant, and light reflectivity
- We partner with AGV and AMR manufacturers to provide flooring products for their testing labs
- Millions of square feet of ResinDek panels currently supporting robotic traffic in distribution centers, warehouses, retail stores, and micro fulfillment centers worldwide
Engineered Panel Options for AGVs and AMRs
ResinDek composite engineered flooring panels have the proven structural integrity to support dynamic and static pallet jack load limits from 2,000 – 8,000 lbs (910 – 3360 kg) and the rigorous demands of robotic traffic such as AGVs and AMRs.
We recommend that a minimum of 20-gauge (0.9 mm) corrugated metal B Deck be used on all ResinDek flooring projects (except for Xspan®) and a minimum of 18 gauge (1.2 mm) when live and dead loads exceed 2,500 Ibs. (1135 kg) ResinDek Xspan and Xspan FR do not require a corrugated metal deck. ResinDek flooring panels LD, MD and HD are ¾” (19 mm) thick, ResinDek Max is 1-1/2″ (38 mm) thick, and ResinDek Xspan and Xspan FR are 1-1/8″ (28mm) thick.

AGV & AMR FAQs
How do ResinDek® flooring panels optimize AGV and AMR performance?
ResinDek panels are engineered and tested for key surface properties that directly impact robotic navigation and efficiency—including coefficient of friction, floor flatness, surface roughness, gloss, and light reflectivity. This ensures consistent sensor readings, precise stopping/turning accuracy, and reduced wheel wear.
What load capacities do ResinDek panels support for robotic traffic?
Depending on the panel selected, ResinDek supports individual robot vehicle weights ranging from 500 lbs (230 kg) up to 6,000 lbs (2,275 kg).
Is a corrugated metal deck required under ResinDek panels?
Most standard panel configurations (LD, MD, HD, WR, MAX) require a minimum 20-gauge corrugated B-deck, or an 18-gauge deck for loads exceeding 2,500 lbs. However, ResinDek Xspan® and Xspan FR serve as structural single-panel solutions that do not require a metal deck, while ResinDek ReShield® is designed for subfloor overlays.
Does ResinDek test flooring with specific AMR and AGV manufacturers?
Yes. Cornerstone Specialty Wood Products actively partners with leading robotics manufacturers (such as Locus Robotics) to supply flooring materials directly to their testing labs, verifying performance before site installation.
