What Is AMR And How Can It Benefit Your Warehouse?

Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) are self-navigating robots that transport goods around a warehouse or factory without fixed tracks or wires. Their main benefits are flexibility, fast deployment, safe operation alongside people, and the ability to scale up or reconfigure routes easily as an operation changes.

Firstly, as mentioned above, AMR stands for Autonomous Manoeuvrable Robots. Therefore, it is simply a solution for warehouses and other workplaces. Thus, this solution uses a fleet of robots to transport goods from different positions on your site.

Installing AMR in your warehouse will allow for:

Designed systems to interface easily with a range of management systems including: Warehouse Management System (WMS), Order Management System (OMS), Transportation Management System (TMS) and Yard Management Software (YMS).

- 24-hour remote monitoring.

- Easily configured systems.

- Automatic charging zones.

- Robotic payloads from 250kg to 1500kg.

There are many benefits to installing AMR into your warehouse. Here are a few reasons for installing the specialised automate warehouse solution into your workplace:

Saving Time

- Move the pallets, shelving, or stock without human involvement.

- Loading and unloading of trucks is more efficient and therefore quicker.

- Sequencing movements to ensure maximum efficiency.

Reducing Labour Costs

- Robots can work a 24-hour shift, ensuring no breaks are needed.

- Fewer staff needed for picking products.

- Fewer forklift or machinery operators are needed.
