Selectable Autonomy

Enables users to tailor traffic flow with powerful path modes, ranging from autonomous guided vehicle (AGV)—but without the costly infrastructure—to limited detour windows, to the pure flexibility of a traditional AMR. The range of path modes reduces navigation exceptions even in narrow locations, maximizing cycle time with consistent, comfortable operation.

  • Cycle time improvement up to 15% for actual fleets. Improvement can be greater, depending on application.
  • Fewer deadlocks in doorways and narrow spaces.
  • Fewer traffic control devices needed in map.
  • Improved safety for human operators working in the same area due to more consistent motion of Mobile Robots.
  • AGV predictability with the flexible obstacle handling of an AMR when space allows.

Applications & Key Industries

Managing intralogistics, the movement of materials and goods within a facility can be a significant hurdle to overcome. Warehouses, distribution centers and production facilities that use manual processes often face issues with workforce scarcity, health and safety risks, and issues with traceability and quality.
In addition, if the material flow is not optimized, this will result in process downtime. Manufacturers also need agile solutions to scale production up and down to meet changing demand. By investing in automated processes with autonomous mobile robots you can ensure that materials and goods are stored and transferred correctly, simplify employee tasks, optimize workflows, improve productivity and increase capacity.
