Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMRs) - Warehouse Automation
Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMRs) - Warehouse Automation
An autonomous mobile robot (AMR) is a type of mobile robot that is capable of navigating and performing tasks autonomously, without the need for human intervention. AMRs are equipped with sensors, cameras, and other technologies that allow them to navigate and map their environment, avoid obstacles, and interact with other systems. They can be used in a variety of settings, such as warehouses, factories, and hospitals.
In warehouse environments, AMRs can be used to transport materials and goods between different areas of the facility, such as between storage and production areas. They can also be used for tasks such as inventory management, picking and packing, and delivery. Some AMRs are designed to work alongside humans, while others are designed to operate in dedicated areas or complete fully autonomous operations.
AMRs can help improve efficiency, increase productivity, and reduce labor costs by automating the transportation of goods within a facility. They can also provide real-time data and analytics to help optimize warehouse operations.
The Case for Automation
Automation can help increase the productivity of an existing workforce by as much as 46%.
