Autonomous Logistics for
Logistics Hubs
WOX Relay handles inter-building delivery, parcel flow, fleet staging and scheduled logistics across large logistics centres and distribution hubs — reducing hub transport cost, improving throughput and integrating with your TMS and WMS.
The Internal Logistics Challenge of Large Hubs
Large logistics centres and distribution hubs depend on constant movement of parcels, pallets and equipment between buildings, staging areas and loading docks. This internal movement is often overlooked as a cost centre — but at scale, manual hub logistics consumes significant labour hours, creates throughput bottlenecks and introduces variability into time-sensitive distribution operations.
Inter-building parcel and pallet movement requires dedicated transport staff across all shifts
Fleet staging and vehicle positioning between buildings and loading docks is labour-intensive
Spare parts and maintenance supply delivery to fleet maintenance areas creates delays
Manual hub logistics creates throughput bottlenecks during peak distribution periods
Fleet visibility across large logistics campuses is limited without a centralised platform
Autonomous inter-building parcel and pallet transport on pre-mapped routes
Fleet staging and vehicle positioning between buildings and loading docks
Spare parts and maintenance supply delivery to fleet maintenance areas
Scheduled logistics — regular transport routes executed automatically
TMS and WMS integration via open APIs for automated mission creation
Real-time fleet visibility — every vehicle, every mission, every battery level
Full mission audit trail for logistics compliance and reporting
Scalable fleet — add vehicles as hub volumes or footprint grows
How WOX Relay Supports Logistics Centre Operations
WOX Relay operates on pre-mapped routes within logistics centre campuses — service roads, inter-building pathways and yard areas. Missions are assigned through the WOX Fleet Platform or integrated TMS and WMS, and executed autonomously with full telemetry and audit logging.
Typical Logistics Centre Mission Workflow
Mission Triggered
A mission is created manually or automatically via TMS or WMS integration — specifying origin, destination and cargo.
Vehicle Assigned
The WOX Fleet Platform assigns the nearest available Relay vehicle for the mission.
Cargo Loaded
Cargo is loaded at the origin point. The operator confirms loading and the mission is authorised.
Hub Transit
Relay navigates autonomously along the pre-mapped hub route, responding to obstacles and other vehicles.
Delivery Confirmed
Cargo is delivered to the destination. The recipient confirms receipt and the mission is logged.
Return or Next Mission
Relay returns to base or proceeds to the next queued mission. Charging is managed automatically.
Operational Benefits for Logistics Centres
Repetitive inter-building and inter-zone transport handled autonomously at scale
Continuous autonomous operation eliminates shift-change gaps and manual delays
Relay operates across all shifts with AI-managed charging — no staffing gaps
Open APIs connect Relay to your TMS and WMS for automated mission creation
Full mission data for operational planning, compliance and performance improvement
Start with a pilot route and expand to full hub campus coverage
Designed for Controlled Environments
WOX Relay is designed for operation within defined, controlled areas — campuses, facilities, industrial zones and managed outdoor environments. All autonomous capabilities are subject to site conditions and applicable local regulations.
Availability of specific features may vary by configuration and market. Contact WOX for details applicable to your location.
Multi-sensor obstacle detection — cameras, radar and ultrasonic sensors
Designed for mixed-traffic logistics environments with vehicle and pedestrian awareness
Emergency stop capability — vehicle halts immediately if required
Geofenced operation within defined hub zones and approved routes
Remote operations support for complex or unfamiliar situations
All autonomous operations subject to applicable logistics safety regulations and site approval
Integrated Charging Infrastructure
WOX Relay integrates with WOX Charging infrastructure to support continuous logistics centre fleet operation. Charging stations can be installed at hub logistics areas, staging zones or dedicated charging bays. The WOX Fleet Platform manages charging schedules automatically to maintain fleet availability across all distribution shifts.
From Site Survey to Go Live
WOX provides full deployment support for logistics centre environments — from initial site survey and route mapping through to TMS integration, fleet commissioning and operator training. A typical logistics centre deployment is operational within 6–8 weeks. WOX engineers work with hub operations and health and safety teams throughout the process.
