One of the manufacturers of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR), has launched its most powerful robots to date for the transport of pallets and other heavy objects in factories and warehouses. and logistics centers. The MiR600, which can withstand weights of up to 600 kg, and the MiR1350, with a load capacity of 1350 kg, are designed to carry out material handling operations safely and efficiently, even in challenging environments
“Customers testing AMRs at their own plants have realized that they want to carry higher loads and have found that if they want to serve their core business with large fleets, they need to demand even higher levels of reliability, safety and quality.” says Søren E. Nielsen, President of Mobile Industrial Robots. “Our new industry-class and robust robots meet these requirements, so you don’t have to think long and hard about integrating them into companies’ workflows.”
The first AMRs to IP52
The MiR600 and MiR1350, suitable for industrial use and with adequate protection, became the first two autonomous mobile robots to receive the IP 52 classification. This means that, thanks to their protection, their components are resistant to damage caused by dust and water droplets.
“As AMRs are increasingly used by companies in their main activities, there can be no downtime” – said Nielsen. “Our new AMRs are industrial grade and have a long service life and are extremely easy to maintain thanks to industrial and easily accessible components and cables.”
The new AMRs optimize all types of logistics – inbound, outbound and outbound
The larger MiR600 and MiR1350 are ideal for the autonomous transport of heavy materials and goods
- in loading bays
- in production and assembly areas
- in warehouses
- in material transport areas.
For other AMR AMRs (MiR100, MiR200, MiR250 , MiR500 and MiR1000), like the MiR600 and MiR1350, travel smoothly and safely between people and other transport vehicles in a dynamic environment also in this. Sensors, 3D cameras and the latest laser scanner technology provide robots with a 360-degree viewing angle as well as accurate and reliable movement and operation. The new AMRs are designed to meet the latest safety standards in the industry, such as ISO 3691-4.
“Many companies are integrating our mobile robots as an alternative to human-driven forklifts, which are expensive to operate. and it can be dangerous, ”Nielsen said. “Thanks to the optimized delivery provided by AMRs, employees can deal with higher value-added tasks and production processes in their free time, while increasing the safety of the production area.”
Immediate deployment solutions for scalability and adaptability
Future-proof logistics solutions need to be seamlessly integrated into operational processes and adapt flexibly to new workflows and environments. MiR AMRs are extremely flexible and can be equipped with different top modules depending on the personalized application. production areas. To facilitate commissioning, the MiR also offers several lift top modules for the MiR600 and MiR1350. These top modules allow AMRs to pick up or drop off pallets and carts, achieving easy integration and scalability throughout the entire value chain.
