AMR Platform Range & Selection

AMR Series	Payload Range	Typical Applications	Recommended Navigation	Key Selection Factors
Compact / Low-Payload AMR Series	100–300 kg	Small parts, totes, PCB racks, laboratory samples, light components	Laser SLAM / Natural Feature Navigation	Compact chassis, tight turning radius, high maneuverability
Medium-Payload AMR Series	500–1,000 kg	Line-side material delivery, Work-In-Process (WIP) transport, container moving	Hybrid Navigation (Laser SLAM + QR Code Positioning)	Cycle efficiency, fast docking speed, battery operating time
Heavy-Duty / Pallet AMR Series	1,500–3,000 kg	Standard Euro/GMA pallets, heavy castings, raw materials, finished goods	Heavy LiDAR SLAM + 3D Obstacle Avoidance Camera	Structural chassis rigidity, ramp slope capability, threshold clearance
Lift & Transfer AMR Series	500–1,500 kg	Automated floor-level pallet pickup, rack lifting, cart towing	Reflector / SLAM + Pallet Pose Perception	Lift stroke length, pallet positioning tolerance, load overhang clearance
Conveyor-Top AMR Series	200–1,000 kg	Machine-to-machine (M2M) automated transfer, production line connection	Laser SLAM + Optical Sensor Docking	Transfer accuracy (±2 mm), hardware PLC signal handshake

Industrial Safety Architecture & International Compliance

In shared human-robot environments, functional safety is non-negotiable. Our AMR architecture incorporates dual-channel safety controls to ensure fully compliant operation.

360° Safety LiDAR Scanners

Dynamic multi-zone field configuration adjusts deceleration and stop boundaries in real time based on vehicle travel speed.
3D Obstacle Detection Cameras

Identifies obstacles outside horizontal LiDAR planes, such as low-profile forklift tines and overhanging structures.
Functional Safety Controllers

Built with PLd / SIL2 safety controllers, physical emergency-stop buttons, safety-rated speed monitoring, and optical status indicators.
International Regulatory Compliance

Engineered to comply with European CE directives (Machine Directive 2006/42/EC, EMC Directive 2014/30/EU), ISO 3691-4, and North American ANSI/RIA R15.08 standards.

System Integration: WMS, MES & Fleet Management

A single mobile robot cannot maximize ROI without centralized coordination. Our Fleet Management System (FMS) coordinates multi-robot traffic routing, optimizes dispatch tasks, manages auto-charging cycles, and communicates with your enterprise software.

WMS / ERP Integration

Connect via REST API, WebSockets, MQTT, or database connectors to exchange mission orders, inventory updates, and drop-off logs.

MES / WCS Integration

Native support for OPC UA, Modbus TCP, and Industrial Ethernet to process line-side call buttons, material requests, and production takt-time synchronization.

Facility Hardware Handshaking

Direct communication with automatic doors, elevators, rapid-roll gates, and motorized conveyors via dry contacts, I/O modules, or wireless PLC signals.

AMR vs. AGV vs. Manual Forklifts: Technical Selection

Comparison Factor	Manual Forklifts	Traditional AGVs	Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs)
Routing Flexibility	High — dependent on operator judgment	Low — typically restricted to fixed magnetic paths or QR grids	High — dynamic autonomous route planning
Facility Infrastructure Setup	None required	High — may require floor modifications, guide paths, tape, or fixed markers	Minimal — routes can be configured through software-based mapping
Dynamic Obstacle Response	Operator dependent	Limited — typically stops when the predefined path is blocked	Autonomous obstacle detection, avoidance, and route replanning
Fleet Scalability	Requires additional drivers and equipment	More complex — expansion may require re-engineering fixed routes	Flexible — additional robots can be managed through fleet software
Best-Fit Applications	Irregular material handling, high-rack stacking, operator-dependent tasks	Fixed, repetitive, high-volume transport routes	Agile manufacturing, dynamic warehouses, and multi-product workflows

Deployment Workflow: From Material Flow Audit to Site Acceptance

Material Flow Analysis

Evaluating payload dimensions, transport frequency, available aisle width, floor gradient, and peak throughput requirements.

Layout Mapping & Simulation

Generating 2D/3D facility maps, configuring virtual keep-out zones, speed limits, and one-way traffic rules.

Top-Module Engineering

Customizing conveyors, lifters, or towing pins to match existing station height and load standards.

Fleet & Software Integration

Interfacing the Fleet Controller with local WMS/MES systems and validating PLC signal handshakes.

Site Acceptance Testing (SAT)

Validating safety stop functions, positioning accuracy (±2mm to ±10mm), slope navigation, and automatic docking.

FAQ

Q: What is the typical ROI (Return on Investment) payback period for an AMR deployment?

A: In most industrial manufacturing and warehousing applications, the average payback period ranges between 12 to 18 months. ROI is calculated based on labor cost savings (reducing reliance on manual forklift drivers), 24/7 multi-shift operational availability, eliminated product damage caused by manual transport collisions, and increased material throughput efficiency.

Q: How does battery charging work during multi-shift operations?

A: AMRs utilize fast-charging lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery packs that support opportunity charging. Instead of taking robots offline for long hours, the fleet system schedules short automatic charging cycles (e.g., 10 to 15 minutes) during idle periods or operator shift changes, maintaining 24/7 continuous facility operation.

Q: How long does a typical AMR project take from mapping to full commissioning?

A: For standard platforms with basic software integration, deployment can be completed in 1 to 2 weeks per facility zone. For complex turnkey projects involving custom top modules, extensive PLC handshakes, and enterprise WMS/MES integration, the typical project cycle takes 6 to 10 weeks, including Site Acceptance Testing (SAT).

Q: Can AMRs operate in the same facility alongside existing AGVs or manual equipment?

A: Yes. AMRs are engineered for shared-space industrial operations. Their multi-layer safety architecture (ISO 3691-4 certified) continuously monitors surrounding traffic. Through our Fleet Controller, traffic rules, one-way aisles, and speed-restricted zones can be configured to manage mixed fleet traffic alongside manual forklifts and traditional AGVs.

Q: What software protocols are required to connect AMRs with our existing WMS or MES?

A: Our Fleet Controller supports standard industrial communication protocols, including REST APIs, WebSockets, MQTT, OPC UA, and Modbus TCP. Data exchange can also be handled through direct database connectors or custom middleware, depending on your IT infrastructure.
