# Ranger MoveSmart at Roosendaal: deployment

Canonical ID: `78cd0e01-baa7-44cd-8b3b-40ba89afc33f`

GreyOrange deployed 65 Ranger MoveSmart autonomous mobile robots at Active Ants' 20,000 sqm e-fulfillment center in Roosendaal, Netherlands, announced December 2020. The GreyMatter Smart Zone Transfer application directs robots to autonomously move and sort inventory in flexible process flows not achievable with fixed conveyors. Robots take empty boxes to associates filling orders, transport filled boxes to packaging machines for sealing and weighing, then sort packages to the correct shipping zones. The deployment positions Active Ants as one of the most automated 3PL e-fulfillment operations in the Netherlands. Partnership subsequently expanded.
