Ensures dynamic and flexible horizontal pallet transport
Swisslog has expanded its portfolio with the introduction of its IntraMove series of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) that provide a versatile, horizontal transportation for payloads up to 3,000 kg (6,613 lb).
The new AMRs, which leverage AI to enhance performance, are designed to offer flexibility in volatile environments and adjustability based on changing transport needs.
Horizontal transport solutions
“Our customers are increasingly looking for horizontal transport solutions capable of handling heavier loads and adapting to dynamic and frequently changing conditions,” stated Thomas Balzarek, AMR Solution Manager, Swisslog.
“Our new AMRs are ideal for point-to-point pallet transport in sectors such as food and beverage, fashion and general merchandise, as well as inter-industrial applications. The advantages they offer are quick deployment and flexible operation, ease of changing routes and delivery points, and adaptability to support business growth,” he added.
IntraMove is connected to the AI-based fleet management software via the VDA 5050 standard communication interface. The software enables the mapping of numerous industrial scenarios, ensuring optimized route planning and assignment of transport orders to the robots, which travel independently and autonomously on all routes.
SLAM Navigation
The robot’s Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) navigation, which utilizes two laser scanners, uses AI algorithms to calculate the most efficient path to a destination while avoiding physical obstacles and traffic without needing cables, strips or tapes.
The AMRs feature a fully integrated lifting device that rises in smooth steps to transport goods without jolts or damage. It is a highly scalable solution, adapting the number of mobile robots to the growth of each business without modifying the warehouse during operation.
A wide range of different top modules, such as platforms and conveyors, ensures efficient product handling and flexibility in transportation.
Technological advances
IntraMove AMRs leverage their technological advantages thanks to their ability to integrate into comprehensive solutions, either as a subsystem for efficient horizontal pallet or box transport from end to end, or as a standalone solution for order preparation.
In any case, they guarantee flexibility based on transport requirements, being a solution with maximum safety and cost-effectiveness for all types of applications.
