Guidance Automation Limited is a UK industrial automation company in Leicester. It was incorporated on 2 September 2014 as Guidance Industrial Innovation Ltd and renamed on 6 November 2014; Companies House registration 09200454 is active, registered at Unit 2 Meridian South, Leicester LE19 1WY, under SIC 26512 (manufacture of electronic industrial process control equipment).

The company supplies autonomous mobile robots, vehicle tops and modules, navigation products including a beacon navigator, and light-directed material handling systems such as pick-to-light and put-to-light. Its own AMR platforms include troNnik, an open-platform vehicle, and briNgbot, a shelf-carrying pick-assist AMR with light-directed picking modules. iNcaart is a roller-conveyor top for transferring totes, boxes and small containers between conveyors or vehicles. Published figures for troNnik-100 are 110 kg payload, up to 2 m/s, 950 x 630 x 315 mm, 40 kg vehicle weight and up to 6 hours of continuous operation.
Guidance Automation was named the first UK reseller for OTTO Motors (Clearpath Robotics), selling the OTTO 100, 750 and 1500 AMRs alongside its own tops and modules and providing software updates, maintenance and added functionality so customers do not need in-house automation expertise.
It also markets 'Automation by the Hour', under which it installs a robot and the customer pays for operating hours, describing the units as agency robot workers. Target applications are e-commerce fulfilment, warehousing, distribution and production, including moving items between pick-to-light and packing stations.
