Autonomous Mobile Robots – The Optimal Solution For Transporting Heavy Loads In Factories

In the context of modern manufacturing increasingly requiring high productivity, safety and comprehensive automation, Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) are gradually becoming an indispensable part of the internal logistics chain at the factory.

What is a autonomous mobile robots?

Autonomous Mobile Robots are intelligent mobile robots designed to pull trailers or carts to transport materials, semi-finished products or finished products between production areas. With intelligent navigation and autonomous operation, tow trucks provide outstanding flexibility, especially in large-scale factories or factories with multiple areas requiring continuous transportation.

Outstanding features of modern self-propelled tractors

• Automatic trailer hook and unhook: Allows the robot to operate continuously without manual intervention
• Laser SLAM or Visual SLAM Navigation : Precise positioning in complex environments
• Travel speed up to 1.6 m/s, integrated automatic charging function
• Pulling capacity up to 2,000 kg , suitable for industries requiring heavy loads
• Absolute safety: Integrated obstacle avoidance sensor, load detection, emergency stop button

Widely used in many industries

• Electronics : Transport components accurately, avoiding damage during transportation
• Automotive: Moving chassis, engines, heavy components between assembly areas
• Manufacturing – Production: Automate material flow between workshops, reduce labor
• Warehousing – logistics: Pulling goods from receiving area to packaging or distribution

Benefits of applying self-driving tow trucks

• Optimize shipping productivity
• Save on personnel and operating costs
• Minimize the risk of occupational accidents
• Increase accuracy and reliability in internal transportation
• Easy integration with warehouse management systems (WMS/MES)
