AMR

An AMR is a mobile robot that we see more and more. The acronym stands for Autonomous Mobile Robot and it is a valuable integration for companies. In several sectors, the autonomous mobile robot takes over manual transport tasks from employees. The AMR does its job, so that less staff is needed for logistics activities and small simple tasks are taken off your hands.

This is an AMR robot

The AMR robot is an efficient and effective addition to various companies, we find at Batenburg Beenen. This is because it has many options, saves time and takes over tasks. The robot moves between pick-up and drop-off locations, without the need for adjustments in the physical environment (unlike the AGV). It is a smart vehicle that does not require infrastructure (such as floor magnets or navigation beacons) and therefore also saves costs.

The wheel configuration of the AMR makes the vehicle very manoeuvrable. In addition to agility, intelligence also plays an important role. Thanks to its own software and controls, the robot navigates smoothly around unexpected objects and people on the route. The vehicle works well with people (human machine collaboration) and it is a fully integrated flexible robot that does exactly what it was made for.

The application of an AMR in the workplace

An AMR robot is an ideal application for the workplace in certain sectors. Think, for example, of internal transport within a production environment. Applying the robot to the shop floor improves the production process and minimizes errors as human errors are eliminated and efficiency increases. In addition, the AMR can also be used in a flexible logistics production process between different workstations. The robot is able to translate direct tasks from customer orders into logistics actions. For example, if the same simple task is continuously performed by personnel, this can be taken over by the AMR robot. This means more efficient working and smarter deployment of personnel.

The benefits of an Autonomous Mobile Robot

In addition to the efficient deployment and cost savings of personnel, there are more advantages of an AMR. One of the important advantages is that the software integrates easily with other systems, so that the solution is quickly operational. Below are a few more advantages of the AMR:

• Easily move objects from A to B.
• Easy to integrate with MES, ERP and WMS
• No magnets or beacons needed.
• Good security that complies with IT systems.
• Automatic software updates, while the robots continue to function.

Batenburg Beenen: expert in industrial automation

Batenburg Beenen specializes in industrial automation, including AMR. We are always ready for automation in various sectors such as industry, infrastructure and water technology. In addition to the delivery of process installations up to packaging machines, we also automate and link the internal logistics part with AMR robots. In order to achieve the best automations, we do this in collaboration with OMRON: the supplier of our Autonomous Mobile Robot.

Full integration at Batenburg Beenen

At Batenburg Beenen, as a system integrator, we focus on total automation. We do this, among other things, by focusing on linking AMR with higher-level systems such as ERP and MES and on linking machines. We also focus on the tooltop. This ensures that current processes on the shop floor do not have to be adjusted. Think, for example, of carts or crates that can remain the same as before.

A tailor-made AMR robot that works perfectly on the work floor, that is what Batenburg Beenen supplies. One point of contact and full integration: Batenburg Beenen is the right partner in the field of industrial automation.
