Three Ways to Pick Up a Pallet Using a Mobile Robot by Omron

 

Heavy-duty autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) like the Omron HD-1500 are quickly becoming a gold standard for automating pallet transport in warehouses and distribution centres. Capable of moving payloads through dynamic and peopled environments using onboard mapping software, AMRs provide the ultimate in flexibility and scalability. When logistics facilities start considering an AMR solution, a common question that arises is how to get the pallets onto robots. It turns out there are three methods for doing this, and each has its own advantages relative to the constrains of a particular warehouse infrastructure. In this article, Omon looks at each of these in turn.

Three Ways Today’s New Robotic Solutions Improve Logistics Applications

 

If you are feeling like your employees are bogged down with repetitive tasks that are preventing them from using their creativity, you’re not alone in the logistics world. Many warehouses and distribution centres continue to rely heavily on manual activities like tote moving and order picking, which drain workers and sometimes lead to stress injuries. Employees can make a greater contribution when they’re freed up from dull, unfulfilling tasks. Fortunately, today’s robotic solutions have advanced to the point where variations in product shapes and sizes are no longer an issue. Omron looks at the potential contributions of collaborative robots (“cobots”) and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs).
