Mobile robots: AGV and AMR

Driverless vehicles that move pallets, carts and boxes around the plant all shift.

Ideal for: Supplying lines, removing finished goods and connecting the warehouse with production.

Follows fixed routes: AGV
Chooses its route and avoids: AMR
Carts, boxes and shelves: Pallets
Charges its own battery: Auto

What sets it apart

Why choose this robot

An AGV follows fixed routes (tape, magnets or reflectors); an AMR builds its own map with lasers and cameras, chooses the route and avoids obstacles. Both integrate with the plant's system to know what to carry and where. There are versions that slide under a cart and lift it, driverless forklifts and bases to mount a robot arm on top.

Driverless

Makes the same trips every day without depending on a forklift driver.

Navigation

The AGV follows a marked route; the AMR builds a map and avoids obstacles.

Safe among people

Laser scanners that slow or reroute the vehicle when someone crosses.

Integrates

Receives orders from the line, the PLC or the management system.

What it is used for

Clear expectations

What it can and cannot do

It can

Bring raw material to the line as it is needed.
Remove pallets from the end of the line and take them to the warehouse.
Charge its battery on its own between trips.

It cannot

Drive on broken floors, uneven ground or ramps out of spec.
Work well in blocked aisles or with a constantly changing layout without reconfiguration.
Replace a conveyor when the flow is continuous and very high.
