Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR)

AMRs automate material transport with flexible, scalable technology for growing e-commerce demands.

As e-commerce growth accelerates, so do expectations for faster, more accurate delivery. The challenge? Scaling operations for future growth within existing facility layouts while optimizing labor resources. To meet this challenge, companies must look to intelligent automated solutions like AMRs to provide the flexible and scalable technology necessary to grow their operations.

AMRs are industrial robots that lift and transport materials within your facility without relying on fixed infrastructure. They reliably navigate throughout the workspace by reading QR codes on the facility floor, responding to changing traffic conditions and adapting accordingly. Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) scanners mounted on the AMRs allow them to sense and avoid obstructions.


Key benefits of AMRs in supply chain automation
Supply chain automation solutions that feature AMRs come with several advantages:

Increased flexibility: AMR solutions scale up or scale down operations as needed to accommodate changes, growth, or processes. They do not require fixed routes, so they adjust quickly to new layouts.

Improved order fulfillment cycle times: Real-time optimization of labor and automation ensures faster, more efficient workflows so operations can adjust quickly to changing demands.

Built-in safety: LiDAR technology on each AMR detects and avoids obstructions. AMRs are certified to meet health, safety, and environmental standards to share workspaces safely with people.

Software-defined agility: Software provides real-time route optimization, workload balancing, and faster decision-making.

Labor resource versatility: AMRs perform repetitive tasks so limited labor resources can be applied to value-added tasks.

Faster go-live/faster ROI: Implementing an AMR solution is minimally disruptive to an operation, requiring less time and effort than traditional automated solutions. Operating and maintaining AMR solutions costs less to operate and maintain than using manual fork trucks.
