A key concept in industrial automation and robotization is AMR, which stands for Autonomous Mobile Robots. AMR robots are nothing other than machines that can autonomously change their position in space. See the most important information about how they can be useful in your company and how to effectively manage them.
How to Effectively Manage an AMR Fleet?
Autonomous mobile robots are used for automatic transportation of loads, without the need for a human to carry them or for personnel located next to the device to supervise the entire route. Common applications include, for example, platforms used to transport pallets and other goods between individual workstations on production lines. Palletizing robots and other such devices are equipped with sensors, vision systems, and also operate using intelligent software, increasingly often with the application of artificial intelligence. As a result, they do not have to move along rigidly programmed routes. They can analyze available paths in real time based on received data and move along optimal paths available at a given moment. Mobile robots minimize the risk of accidents and collisions on the production line, and also speed up transport by optimizing it. This is particularly valuable, for example, in large warehouses and production halls, where many product transport paths intersect and there is heavy traffic between individual workstations.
Key objectives of deploying mobile robots to a production facility include improving production efficiency and quality, as well as workplace safety. The larger the space and the more elements to plan, the more complicated this may seem, which is why proper configuration of the entire fleet and ongoing management of it is very important. If you want to be sure that these solutions will be properly implemented in your company, take advantage of the specialist assistance of Taskoprojekt S.A. – a company with many years of experience, whose specialization is production automation and robotization.
AMR Fleet – Automation, Integration and the Role of Artificial Intelligence
Thanks to sensors and other applied technologies, a mobile robot is able to work autonomously, with minimal human involvement. However, successful deployment of individual machines and systems in the company and integrating them with existing software is crucial.
One of the most important elements of implementation is creating a map of the workspace. The operator performs a manually controlled run, during which the robot laser-scans the surroundings. A map is generated image that includes walls, machines, and other stationary elements. The map created in this way is absolutely essential for the robot to navigate itself in space and move around it effectively.
Modern technologies allow for integrating robot control systems with other software that a given company already uses. This means that there is no need to incur additional expenses for autonomous mobile robots AMR to have a chance to be used in a given location. Specialists from Taskoprojekt S.A. will analyze the tools, machines and systems used in your company and propose the best solution that will work perfectly with them.
For this reason, it is very important to use individually designed, personalized solutions tailored to the needs of a given company. Individual mobile robots can both have equipment made to order, as well as be designed and programmed in a way that meets the company’s requirements.
