ABB Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR): logistics 4.0

ABB

In the dynamic context of modern logistics, ABB's Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) are emerging as key players in the 4.0 transformation. These AMRs, operating without drivers, ensure uninterrupted operations, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They are shaping the future of efficient goods flows, and revolutionizing management practices in transport and warehousing operations. Among the cutting-edge technologies guiding these AMRs, the SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) method is positioned as the central engine of their autonomous, intelligent navigation.

The benefits of ABB AMR robots

Automated forklifts are more than just a passing trend. They embody a fundamental transformation in the management, transportation and processing of goods within warehouses. By freeing workers from the most arduous transport tasks, ABB AMRs increase productivity while minimizing errors and incidents.

As exclusive distributor, Aprolis offers a diverse range of automation solutions, including Automated Guided Vehicles, tractors and automated forwarders. All these models incorporate advanced navigation and safety technologies, guaranteeing smooth and safe operation.

ABB AMR: your partner for innovative transport management

As versatile assistants, ABB's AMR robots are a convincing response to the growing demand for automation in logistics. With their exceptional autonomy and enhanced manoeuvrability, these robots provide a ready-to-use solution for ground transport of goods over large areas. Their adaptability means they can be seamlessly integrated into intralogistics flows, making it easier for people and machines to work together, and simplifying interfacing with the various inventory management software packages (WMS, ERP, etc.). This immediate synergy improves efficiency in various sectors and fields of application.

Versatility at work: Practical applications for Autonomous Mobile Robots

AMR robots offer a wide range of applications adapted to multiple logistics scenarios, including:

  • Heavy load transport
  • Towing trailers
  • Agile movement of pallets, goods and small parts
  • Automated rack loading and unloading
  • Transport of varied loads
  • Smooth cooperation with other AMRs and AGVs

Process optimisation: Order picking with AMR robots

One of the most remarkable applications of AMR robots is "goods-to-person" order picking. These robots enable:

  • Pick individual orders and route them to picking stations
  • Use to transport a wide variety of loads, such as mobile shelving and table-top boxes
  • Significantly reduce the risk of errors compared to manual methods
  • Continuous supply of line edges.
