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.
