Autonomous Material Transport

The use of mobile robots enables easy and safe movement of materials within the hall, without the involvement of operators and without the need for a forklift.

In food and pharmaceutical applications, AMR robots are used to control semi-finished products, packaging, and finished products between devices, warehouses, and production lines, ensuring the smooth operation and automation of the entire process.

Types of Mobile Robots

Depending on the specific nature of the plant and its logistic needs, we offer AGV and AMR mobile robots—differing in navigation method, operational flexibility, and level of automation.

AGV

AGV robots move along precisely defined paths, most often along magnetic tapes or routes marked on the floor. They are ideal for repetitive transport between fixed points, such as on production lines.

AMR

AMRs are autonomous robots that independently analyze their surroundings and respond to obstacles. They utilize LIDAR technology, vision cameras, and sensors to navigate the facility without the need for infrastructure.

Navigation Method

Designated paths, magnetic tapes (follow the line)

Navigation sensors, LIDAR, vision cameras, laser sensors

Retooling Method

Marking out new paths using tape or other horizontal markings on the floor

Entering a new route in the software along with modifying the map if required

Most Common Uses

Cargo transportation

Transport of goods, delivery of materials to the production line or cleaning

Possibilities of Intralogistics Systems

Free Navigation

AMRs move autonomously without the need for fixed routes; they can change directions, avoid obstacles, and adjust their route in real time.

Support for Various Routes and Production Zones

The systems can be programmed to work in multiple areas of the hall—from storage areas to assembly lines—with different loading and unloading points.

Dynamic Route Planning

Thanks to built-in navigation systems, robots can update their route based on changes in the environment, such as people, other machines, or temporary obstacles.

Advantages of Intralogistics Systems

1

Flawless Precision

The use of advanced sensors eliminates human errors and guarantees high repeatability in the implementation of transport tasks.

2

Uninterrupted Work

AMRs are highly reliable and ready to operate 24/7, minimizing the risk of downtime and increasing operational continuity.

3

Compliance with Standards and Requirements

All implemented solutions are validated and certified in accordance with applicable standards (including CE), ensuring compliance with regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! AMRs use intuitive software that allows for quick changes to routes or tasks (e.g., by dragging points on a digital map). AGVs require physical route modifications (e.g., changing magnetic tapes).

AMR: Thanks to lidar and sensors, they avoid obstacles and stop in front of people.
AGVs: They use emergency safety devices (e.g., pressure sensors), but require designated traffic zones.

AGVs have a lower initial cost, but require investment in infrastructure (e.g., conveyors).
AMRs are more expensive to purchase, but cheaper to implement (no shop floor modifications) and more cost-effective when processes change frequently.
