What are the major advantages of Autonomous Mobile Robot?

1. Flexibility and increased flexibility
Because Autonomous Mobile Robots depend largely on onboard sensors and cameras to function--not magnetic tape or wires like AGVs and AGCs--Autonomous Mobile Robots exemplify the flexibility, agility and automation. Instead of following fixed pathways, Autonomous Mobile Robots are able to develop their own flexible routes between Point A to Point B within a facility, helping them avoid obstacles. This allows Autonomous Mobile Robots can be reprogrammed to carry out new tasks with the utmost ease, as opposed to other automation technology that generally take longer and more effort to reprogram.

2. Safety - Increased
Autonomous Mobile Robots are equipped with sensors and cameras. They allow the Autonomous Mobile Robot to understand and interpret its environment, which allows it to efficiently move around a facility without colliding with obstacles such as product infrastructure, people or. Contrary to this, equipment operated by humans, such as forklifts, do not have any safety mechanisms built-in and ultimately rely on input from humans. Autonomous Mobile Robots reduce the chance of human workers becoming tired or distracted and causing accidents. Autonomous Mobile Robots are utilized for repeated tasks, which decreases the risk of human error and greatly improves safety.

3. Rapid Implementation
Autonomous Mobile Robots are able to be operational during an operation within about four to six weeks dependent on the particulars of the operation. (Especially important here are the software for picking and warehouse execution software that the units will need to integrate with.) Even with the latest technology, this takes a remarkable amount of time. To give you an example of this, a goods to individual (G2P) system could be as long as an entire year to be fully implemented.

4. Scalability
Autonomous Mobile Robots can be implemented within the facility in a simple manner. You can follow an approach of modular deployment that starts with a couple of units and increasing your number as you require. This means that you do not need to invest in a large amount of money upfront. Instead of buying huge quantities of Autonomous Mobile Robots it is possible to purchase a few and then increase your fleet. This modular deployment lets you free up money that you can use to fund other projects while you evaluate the impact of Autonomous Mobile Robots on your business and plan your what next steps to take.

5. It is easy to move between facilities
Certain operations might not want to think about automated options when they are aware that the move to the new facility is in the near future. This is understandable. A new system may not be required for the next two years, so why should you implement it? Autonomous Mobile Robots could help in bridging the gap between the two scenarios. Because Autonomous Mobile Robots are relatively easy to set up and can be moved from one facility to another in a relatively simple manner, allowing automated processes even in the short run. Alongside operations that are expecting a near-term move the Autonomous Mobile Robot can be beneficial for businesses setting up a temporary holiday operation.
