Frequently Asked Questions

While a comprehensive feasibility study is ideal for a tailored plan, here's a structured approach to kickstart your AMR automation planning

  1. Process Analysis: Begin by meticulously documenting your current material handling processes. This includes:

    • Identifying critical tasks and bottlenecks.
    • Mapping out the flow of materials throughout your facility.
    • Quantifying volumes and weights of materials moved per unit of time.

  2. Facility Layout Assessment: Evaluate your facility's physical layout to understand its suitability for AMR integration. Consider:

    • Doorway dimensions and potential clearance issues.
    • Floor load capacity and weight limitations.
    • Traffic patterns and potential for co-existence with human workers.

  3. Load & Material Flow Evaluation: Define the specific characteristics of the materials your AMRs will handle. Key factors include:

    • Load dimensions and weight distribution.
    • Picking and placing requirements (e.g., palletizing, bin picking).
    • Compatibility with AMR grippers or other attachments.

By systematically addressing these aspects, you gain valuable insights that will inform your AMR selection and deployment strategy, then we will be able to assist you in conducting a thorough feasibility study, taking into account these initial evaluations and your specific requirements.

While project specifics vary, a general timeline includes:

  • Feasibility study (6-12 months depending on company scale)
  • Contract (2 months)
  • Engineering, manufacturing, and delivery (6-8 months)
  • Commissioning (3 months)
  • Handover (1 month)
  • Life Cycle Services to ensure high availability

AMRs utilize lead-acid, quick-charge lead-acid, closed lead-acid, and Lithium-ion batteries. Life expectancy ranges from 8-14 hours (depending on vehicle, environment, and load). Charging times vary (traditional: 8 hours, Lithium-ion: 1 hour). Cost also varies - contact us for the most cost-efficient option for your needs.

Yes. AMR sensor technology detects and responds to obstacles and people, ensuring safe operation alongside humans and other equipment.

AMR solutions are priced individually based on your specific needs. This comprehensive package includes vehicles, software, and asset-management services.

Contact us to assess your facility needs (material type, layout, workload) and receive a cost-effective quote for a tailored AMR system.

While not all processes are suitable, AMRs have specific requirements like temperature/humidity ranges, level floors (concrete preferred), and minimal slopes (<5%). They're not ideal for unloading/loading bays. Consider a mixed fleet approach combining human expertise with AMR capabilities for situations where full automation isn't feasible.
