AION Consultants turns traditional warehouses into intelligent, automated facilities, from structural design through to handover.
Strategic consulting and integration for smart warehousing and automated logistics. Headquartered in Melbourne, serving clients across Australia and in India, Sri Lanka and Thailand.
Headquartered in Melbourne, we help clients move from conventional storage to intelligent, automated facilities.
High-standard structural designs and engineering advice, tailored to local building standards, for safe deployment of high-performance automation equipment.
Australian engineering rigour with Asian market agility, delivering sustainable, future-ready solutions.
We don’t undertake construction. We design, advise and integrate, so the structure and the automation work as one system.
Design first, safety always. We align structure with automation before any equipment is specified.
Master planning, racking layout and workflow optimisation, backed by load-bearing and automation-compatibility reports that show inbound capacity, peak throughput and expansion headroom before ground is broken.
Pre-construction assessments make sure the building shell and smart equipment fit, cutting retrofit costs and shortening schedules.
AS/RS and shuttle systems, conveyor lines and lifts, connected to WMS/WES for real-time inventory visibility.
A unified scheduling algorithm links storage, transport and picking, raising storage density per square metre and inbound-outbound speed.
PLC and SCADA control architecture with IoT sensor networks capturing equipment status, energy use and fault alarms in real time.
Energy-management and health analytics turn operational data into predictive maintenance, extending asset life and reducing downtime.
Installation supervision, schedule control and safety oversight across multiple vendors under Australian WHS/OHS legislation.
FAT/SAT testing, operator training and maintenance hand-over, so the system runs smoothly from day one.
Two projects where design, integration and compliance had to land together.
Lead technical advisor for a 15,000 m² fulfilment centre
Low vertical space usage, high labour costs and strict local WHS compliance requirements.
High-density AS/RS and pallet shuttle layout to Australian standards, with conveyors, lifts and WMS/WES integrated for real-time visibility.
Multi-vendor installation supervision with documented safety oversight from first fix through to hand-over.
AION was technical consultant and integration partner, leading layout design, equipment selection and control commissioning. Conveying, sorting and storage run as a single data-driven flow, and the site is now cited as a benchmark smart warehouse in Australasia.
Global expertise, local compliance.
Our team brings deep project experience and local certifications from established logistics and automation companies, letting us bring proven European or North American workflows into Australian regulatory frameworks quickly, shortening learning curves and lowering compliance risk.
CEO Cherise brings extensive logistics operations and warehouse-automation project management experience. She excels at multi-disciplinary coordination and cost control, so solutions are deployable, scalable and maintainable for long-term return on investment.
