Work happens
Goods move, machines run, teams hand over assets and production progresses.
Operational Automation & Intelligence
Automate operations. See what’s actually happening.
Flatorb combines automation engineering, OCTO Ops, RFID, barcode, IoT and AI to give Sri Lankan businesses an accurate, real-time view of physical operations — from floor activity to management decisions.

The operational gap
Your software can only act on the information it receives.
Enterprise systems manage business records. Flatorb specializes in accurately capturing and controlling the physical events that create those records.
We make movements, activities, handovers and exceptions visible at the point where work actually happens — then connect trusted data to the systems your team already uses.
Reality becomes data
RFID, barcode, sensors, GPS and OCTO Ops verify what happened, where and when.
Decisions improve
ERP, finance, HR and management systems receive reliable operational information.
What moved?Where did it go?Who was responsible?What condition was it in?Did the records match?
What Flatorb does
Not just software. Not just hardware. Operational automation from floor to management.
We combine workflow understanding, implementation engineering and operational software to create systems people can actually use in the environments where work happens.
Understand
Study the real workflow, failure points, exceptions and information gaps before choosing a technology.
- Process discovery
- Operational assessment
- ROI priorities
Automate
Apply the right combination of OCTO Ops, RFID, barcode, IoT, GPS or AI for the operational outcome.
- Solution engineering
- Field implementation
- User adoption
Connect
Turn physical activity into usable business information without forcing you to replace systems that already work.
- Enterprise integration
- Real-time visibility
- Auditable records
Flagship solutions
Control the operations that create your business records.
Start with the process creating the clearest leakage, delay or risk. Prove the result, then expand.
Find the right starting point ↗01
Warehouse & Inventory
Know what is in stock, where it is and what moved.
Capture receipts, locations, transfers, picks, dispatches, counts, batches and expiry activity with the right level of automation.
Explore warehouse operations →Assets & Maintenance
Make asset custody, condition and service history traceable.
Improve audits, assignments, maintenance scheduling and accountability across sites.
Explore asset control →Manufacturing Operations
See production progress and material use as work happens.
Trace inputs, jobs, stages, quality checks and finished goods across the production flow.
Explore manufacturing →3PL Operations
Run multi-customer storage and fulfilment with clear operational and billing records.
Connect customer-owned inventory activity to controlled warehouse workflows and dependable reporting.
Explore 3PL operations →OCTO Ops
The operational platform behind many Flatorb solutions.
OCTO Ops captures, controls and traces real-world operational activity. It can run independently or integrate with ERP, finance, HR, procurement and other systems already in use.
- ✓ Modular — begin with the process where ROI is clearest
- ✓ Technology-neutral — barcode, RFID, IoT and more
- ✓ Integration-ready — connect instead of replace
- ✓ Built for controlled, auditable operational workflows

Automation & technology consulting
When the technology matters, engineering matters more.
“AI when AI makes sense. RFID when RFID makes sense. Barcode when a barcode is enough.”
RFID & Auto-ID Engineering
Read-zone design, tags, devices and applications engineered around the movement you need to capture.
Barcode & QR Automation
A practical, economical foundation for accurate scanning, identification and workflow control.
Industrial IoT & Sensors
Automatically record the condition, state or event that matters — and act when thresholds are crossed.
AI Consulting & Automation
Use AI where judgment, classification or unstructured information creates a clear operational benefit.
GPS & NFC Tracking
Connect location, proximity and tap-based identification to controlled operational workflows.
Systems Integration
Move verified operational information between OCTO Ops and the systems your business depends on.
AI consulting for business
Use AI where it creates value. Control it where it creates risk.
Flatorb helps businesses move beyond AI hype—finding the right opportunities, evaluating the risks, proving the value and implementing practical solutions in real operations.
Our advantage is not simply knowing AI. We understand workflows, bottlenecks, physical automation, operational data and the systems AI must safely work with.
Process firstValue and risk togetherProof before scaleHuman in control
If AI is not the right answer, we will say so.Sometimes a better workflow, cleaner data, a business rule or conventional automation will deliver more value with less risk.
One balanced evaluationOpportunity + Risk + Readiness
Where can AI create measurable value?
Reduce delays, improve decisions, remove repetitive work, protect revenue or create a better customer experience.
What could AI expose or weaken?
Assess data exposure, incorrect decisions, weak controls, dependency, operational consequence and customer trust.

Implementation patternContainer yard workflow control
Operational proof
From gate-in to repair, location and billing — one traceable operational flow.
A yard operation creates physical events long before they become management reports. Flatorb connects those events so teams can find containers, track surveys and approvals, manage repairs and build reliable MLO billing records from the same workflow.

02Maintain location, status and responsibility
03Connect operational evidence to billing
Implementation methodology
Reduce project risk before you scale the solution.
We start with the operation, prove the workflow in context and build adoption into implementation.

Operational visibility assessment
Have an operation you cannot see clearly enough?
Tell us where information is entered manually, where records become unreliable or where disconnected systems create operational leakage. A Flatorb solutions architect will help identify a sensible starting point.
- ✓ Clarify the physical event that needs to be captured
- ✓ Review current systems, scale and technology
- ✓ Identify where automation can produce the clearest ROI
