Unlike automated warehouse vehicles of the recent past, autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) take a workload to the next level. AMRs not only work via programming, but also have the intelligence for independent decision making in the workplace. This offers the opportunity for unforeseen problem solving and saving capital from programming lengthy routes by working via free navigation.
How are AMR robots able to elevate their work that other common robots such as automated guided vehicles (AGVs) can’t? AMRs are built navigate freely through the workplace by way of built-in lasers. These lasers replace the need for former navigation tools such as beacons and magnetic tapes and so can take independent routes.
Benefits of automated mobile robots
This newfound independence in warehouse robots can increase workplace efficiency through task sharing with humans and intelligent problem solving. Some more reasons that companies are investing in AMRs include the benefits of:
- Increased safety and accident reduction for humans.
- Higher productivity and overall performance.
- Increased return on investment (ROI).
- More flexibility with workloads and tasks.
- Significant reduction of costs
Significant advantages of implementing automated mobile robots in the workplace
AMRs are becoming widely appreciated for their adaptability in workplace tasks and their ability to manoeuvre around both predetermined and unforeseen obstacles. Contributing to their popularity are their ability to:
- Adapt to business requirements with unique customisation.
- Ensure a collaborative workplace by replacing unpopular duties and contribute to safety and accident prevention.
- Easy initial programming and configuration stage that does not take loads of time or resources to get started.
- An attractive price where its offers far out way the costs and remain the most affordable on the cost-quality ratio on today’s market.
- The ability to work extended hours with no need to take long breaks, doubling the work done.
