Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) 

Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) are designed to transport loads independently between two points. These robots navigate through the warehouse using dynamic routes generated by intelligent software, which optimizes their movements and assigns the best path for each task. Equipped with advanced sensors and scanners, AMRs can identify and avoid obstacles, ensuring safe operation in collaborative environments alongside machines and people.

Mecalux’s AMRs are versatile, easily integrating into various warehouse types without the need for infrastructure changes. The different models in the series can handle a wide range of loads, including boxes, trays, bins, totes, packages, shelving, and pallets. By implementing AMRs, internal material flows become more efficient, improving productivity and streamlining warehouse operations.

Advantages of AMRs

  • Autonomous: AMRs navigate freely using virtual maps of their environment, allowing them to operate without being confined to predefined paths or closed-loop navigation circuits.

  • Intelligent: Their movements are adaptive to each specific task, following routes determined by navigation software that calculates the most efficient path. They can detect and avoid obstacles — both fixed and moving — and adjust their routes in real time.

  • Flexible: AMRs seamlessly integrate into the warehouse layout without requiring any structural changes, ensuring quick and easy implementation.

  • Scalable: The fleet can be easily expanded by adding more robots, which accommodates operational growth or seasonal demand fluctuations.

  • Efficient: Fleet management software monitors and optimizes robot traffic, ensuring each task is assigned to the most suitable AMR.

  • Accurate: These robots perform tasks with high precision, reducing errors and enhancing overall warehouse efficiency.

  • Safe: AMRs are designed to operate safely in complex environments with other machines, people, and goods. They are equipped with advanced collision avoidance sensors and scanners, ensuring reliable and stable movements.

  • Holistic Intralogistics Provider: Mecalux’s AMRs are supported by a leading intralogistics solutions provider, backed by extensive global experience in the development and implementation of automated storage systems and warehouse management software tools.
