What are the major Autonomous Mobile Robot Advantages

1. Flexibility - Accrorated
Autonomous Mobile Robots are adaptable and flexible because they rely on cameras and sensors on board to perform. Instead of following fixed pathways, Autonomous Mobile Robots are able to dynamically create their own efficient routes that take them from Point A to Point B within the facility, which helps them avoid obstructions. Autonomous Mobile Robots can be quickly moved to other tasks, as opposed to other automation technologies that require more time and effort. Check out this automated crossdocking info for more.

2. Increased safety
Autonomous Mobile Robots come with lots of sensors and cameras. These sensors and cameras enable the Autonomous Mobile Robot to read and understand its surroundings. This allows it to move within the facility without interference from people, infrastructure and products. However, equipment operated by human operators (e.g. forklifts) don't have the same safety features and depend on input from humans. Autonomous Mobile Robots eliminate the risk of human operators being distracted or fatigued. But, this is not a concern when using Autonomous Mobile Robots. Autonomous Mobile Robots are utilized for repeatable tasks which reduces the risk of human error, and significantly increases safety.

3. Quick Implementation
Autonomous Mobile Robots can be installed in just a few weeks, based on the type of operation. This is especially true if the device will need to communicate with warehouse execution and picking software. Even for those at the top end of the spectrum, this is a very short amount of time, particularly when compared to other technologies. As an example one, a goods-to-person (G2P) system can take as long as a year for complete implementation.

4. Ability to Scale
Autonomous Mobile Robots are able to be installed within a facility in a relatively simple way. It is possible to follow the modular approach to deployment beginning with just a few units and adding more as you require. This means that you don't have to spend a lot upfront. Instead of investing in massive quantities of Autonomous Mobile Robots, you can buy one or two and later expand the number of units you have. This modular deployment will give you the capital you need to fund other projects, in addition to allowing you to evaluate the impact Autonomous Mobile Robots have had on your business and decide on your next actions.

5. It's easy to move between facilities
Because they are aware that automation is in their very near future, some companies may be hesitant to invest in automation options. This thinking makes perfect sense: Why implement a new system when it's going to be decommissioned within the next two years when the new facility is built? Autonomous Mobile Robots could be beneficial in such situations to fill in the gaps. Because they are relatively simple to install, they can also be transferred between facilities in a relatively simple manner, allowing automation even in the short term. This is a benefit for businesses that are looking to set up temporary holiday operations.
