About Allied Automation

We are warehouse automation specialists — headquartered in Adelaide, operating across Africa, and connected to a global network of automation technology partners.

Who We Are

Allied Automation is a warehouse automation integration company — we design, supply, install, integrate, and support the automation systems that make warehouses and distribution centres faster, leaner, and more profitable. Our work spans AGV and AMR fleet deployments, automated conveying, high-speed sortation, autonomous forklift systems, and the software integration that connects hardware to WMS, ERP, and MES platforms.

We are headquartered in Adelaide, Australia, with our South African office in Cape Town — the home base for our African operations, and we understand the specific operational, regulatory, and infrastructure context in which our clients work. Load shedding resilience is designed in. Labour consultation planning is part of every implementation. Local technical support with response SLAs that reflect the operating reality of a South African warehouse are standard in every service agreement.

Beyond South Africa, Allied Automation has delivered automation projects across East Africa, West Africa, and into Central Africa, as well as supporting clients in Australia, the UK, and South-East Asia through our global office network. This gives us access to automation technology and implementation expertise that spans markets and sectors — which we bring to every South African engagement.

We are not a product reseller. Every client engagement begins with a site assessment and financial modelling exercise, proceeds through a structured design and simulation phase, and results in a project managed to completion by our own team. Post-delivery, Allied Automation remains accountable through our service agreements — not a third-party maintenance provider who doesn't know the system.

Mission & Values

Our Mission

To make warehouse automation accessible, accountable, and genuinely transformative for businesses across South Africa and Africa — delivering systems that perform to specification, are supported for their full operational life, and generate the financial returns we model before the project begins.

Accountability

We are the single accountable party — from assessment through delivery and ongoing support. No fragmented responsibility.

Evidence-Based Design

Every system is sized and specified from data — site assessments, simulations, and financial models — not intuition or catalogue preference.

Local First

We are a South African company operating in the South African context. Local support, local knowledge, local accountability.

Long-term Partnership

We design systems for 15-20 year operational lives and remain the client's automation partner throughout — not just until commissioning.
