Autonomous mobile robots are self-propelled vehicles that transport loads between points using dynamic route planning algorithms. Equipped with advanced sensors and scanners, the robots detect and avoid obstacles and can operate safely alongside people and other machines. Interlake Mecalux offers multiple models capable of carrying loads from 220 lb to 3,307 lb; the robots integrate into existing warehouses without modifying infrastructure and can be scaled by adding units. Fleet management software assigns tasks, optimises routes and balances the workload to minimise errors and travel time.

AMRs are used in pallet flows, order picking, production line supply and outbound operations to increase flexibility and productivity while lowering labor costs.

 

Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) are vehicles designed to travel and move goods independently. They operate without human intervention, using virtual maps of their environment. Their paths, generated by innovative navigation software, adapt to each task and can readjust in real time to evade any type of obstacle.

Like AMRs, automated guided vehicles (AGVs) are transport robots designed to automate internal flows of all kinds of materials in warehouses and production centers. The main difference between the two systems lies in their navigation technology. AGVs move along preset routes in a closed-loop configuration by means of various guidance systems, e.g., magnetic wires embedded in the floor or laser signals. AMRs, on the other hand, move freely in their working environments along dynamic routes tailored to each task. AMRs are the natural evolution of AGVs. They perform the same functions but provide greater flexibility and efficiency. Moreover, AMR implementation is simpler and faster.

Interlake Mecalux’s line of autonomous mobile robots includes models designed to transport light loads, such as the AMR 100 (conveyor) and the AMR 100 (mast). These AMRs primarily handle boxes, trays, totes, and packages and have a maximum load capacity of 220 lb. The series’ most robust models — the AMR 1500 (conveyor) and AMR 1500 (lift) — can handle pallets weighing up to 3,307 lb.

Yes, AMRs are safe vehicles. Each mobile robot is equipped with a sophisticated anti-collision system consisting of sensors, scanners, and cameras. This system enables the AMRs to identify obstacles to effectively avoid them and continue on their path. AMRs are capable of operating safely alongside other machines, people, goods, and storage systems in the facilities where they are deployed.

AMRs are extremely compact devices suitable for all types of warehouses. They move freely and independently in complex environments and small spaces. However, AMRs are also high-performance vehicles equipped with batteries that provide them with a high degree of operational autonomy. They can travel long distances to connect distant points within the warehouse.

This automation system is project-based and quoted after reviewing facility layout, load data, throughput goals, software needs, safety requirements, and destination. Shipping method, lead time, installation scope, and commissioning are confirmed with your quote. Systems may ship in phases and include rack, machines, shuttles, controls, electrical parts, safety equipment, and software hardware. Installation requires qualified mechanical, electrical, controls, and commissioning support.
