In a move to redefine warehouse intelligence, Dematic has partnered with AI specialist GreyOrange to create a more “execution-aware” supply chain. The integration of the GreyMatter platform will enable seamless coordination between autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and human workers, extending orchestration from the warehouse floor to the retail storefront.
By integrating GreyOrange’s AI-driven GreyMatter platform into its global portfolio, Dematic is shifting its focus toward flexible automation.
This partnership addresses the industry’s most pressing challenge: the need for a “vendor-agnostic” system that can coordinate robots, fixed machinery, and human workers simultaneously, ensuring that warehouse operations can scale without being locked into a single type of hardware.
“Today’s warehouse environments are more complex than ever, requiring seamless coordination between people, robots, and systems,” said Mike Larsson, Dematic president and KION executive board member. “Our partnering relationship with GreyOrange reflects Dematic’s commitment to delivering flexible, high-performance solutions that help customers adapt, and scale with confidence. By integrating GreyMatter, we’re extending our approach within flexible automation for a more unified integration capability that helps customers maximize existing investments while unlocking new levels of efficiency and agility.”
Dematic is extending its software ecosystem by integrating the GreyMatter platform into Dematic’s existing software portfolio. GreyOrange has already pivoted from a mobile robotics solutions provider to a software/AI company. Dematic is a global integration company, with a brand that customers trust to deliver heterogeneous solutions and solve integration headaches.
Dematic enables customers to better coordinate fixed automation, AMRs, and human workflows within a unified system.

- Improved throughput and operational visibility across complex workflows
“Dematic is known for its innovation and experience in delivering automation solutions to the world’s most complex supply chains, and understands that the future of automation is flexibility,” said Akash Gupta, the CEO of GreyOrange. “Together, we’re giving Dematic’s customers the ability to do more with the automation investments they’ve already made by orchestrating every robot, system, and person in their operation through a single AI-driven layer. That means greater throughput, smarter decision-making, and the freedom to keep expanding their fleets on their own terms, without limits.
