Autonomous mobile robots (AMR) have proven to be one of the most revolutionary and innovative solutions to date.
An autonomous mobile robot is a mechanism that can move around the environment in which it is located without the need for an operator to monitor it or to follow a predetermined path.
Let's have a look at a few key points that will help you better understand their features and applications:
Key features of AMR robots:
- Autonomy is a key characteristic of AMRs. They are able to independently determine their route and move along it without operator intervention. Robots use sensors and artificial intelligence algorithms to process data about their surroundings and make decisions about movement.
-
Mobility: AMRs can move across a variety of surfaces, including concrete, asphalt, tile, and even gravel. They can navigate small obstacles, such as thresholds and slopes, and adapt to changing environments.
-
Integration capability: AMRs can be easily integrated into existing infrastructure, making them an excellent solution for upgrading existing production lines and warehouses.
- Automating processes with AMR helps increase overall productivity and efficiency by reducing the time spent on repetitive tasks.
-
Introduction of autonomous mobile robots allows to reduce labor costs and reduce the number of errors associated with human factors.
-
The use of AMR can free workers from monotonous and dangerous tasks, improving working conditions and increasing safety levels.
-
AM robots can be easily configured for different tasks and conditions, making them flexible and convenient for scaling a business.
- Manufacturing: AMRs are widely used in manufacturing to move components of finished products between different stages of the manufacturing process. They can replace manual labor, speeding up production and reducing the risk of errors.
-
Logistics and warehouses: AMRs are widely used for internal logistics in warehouses and distribution centers. They help optimize the order picking process, reducing lead times and increasing the accuracy of operations.
-
Healthcare: in the medical industry, AMRs are used to deliver medications and equipment, helping to improve patient care and reduce the workload of staff.
-
Airports and ports: AM robots handle baggage, manage passenger flow and improve overall efficiency of airport and port operations.
-
Agriculture and mining: AMR robots can be used to monitor crop conditions, fertilize soil, harvest crops, and provide information for assessing the environmental impact of mining operations by collecting data on air, water, and soil conditions.
ROBOX500
ROBOX500 are based on 12/13th generation Intel Core i7 processors. To achieve the best efficiency, Axiomtek provided the controller with two DDR4 SO-DIMM RAM slots with a maximum capacity of 64 GB.
