In the logistics and warehouse industry, pallet transport is a critical yet often inefficient and dangerous task. Traditional methods using forklifts are driver-dependent, space-consuming, and pose significant safety risks.
Automation offers a solution to these challenges, improving efficiency and safety in material handling.
Challenge
Warehouses commonly rely on forklifts for pallet transport. This presents several issues, including the dependency on drivers, which can be problematic due to labor shortages, and the space-consuming nature of forklifts, which limits warehouse capacity.
Additionally, the use of forklifts introduces safety hazards, increasing the risk of accidents and injuries.
A more efficient, space-saving, and safer pallet transport solution is needed to meet the growing demands of warehouse operations.
Solution
OMRON’s Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs), such as the MD-900 and HD-1500, provide a safe and flexible automated solution for pallet transport.
These robots can efficiently move pallets using top conveyors or lifts to place them on racks.
By reducing the need for manual handling and forklift use, AMRs enhance safety, optimize space utilization, and increase productivity in warehouse operations.
Automated pallet transport with AMRs enhances safety and efficiency
This video highlights how our AMRs transforms pallet transport in warehouses. It demonstrates a real-world application where our AMRs are seamlessly integrated with an AS/RS for pallets.
Key benefits include:
- Static and Dynamic Obstacle Avoidance: Ensures safe navigation around both static and moving obstacles.
- Low-Level Obstacle Detection: Detects and avoids obstacles like empty pallets or pallet mover forks on the ground.
- Overhead Obstacle Detection: Identifies and avoids overhead obstacles.
- Safety by Design: Equipped with on-board lasers and sensors for obstacle detection.
- Easy Installation: No need for complex construction or magnet installation.
- Flexible Mapping: Generates navigation maps through on-board laser scanning.
By integrating AMRs for pallet transport, warehouses can achieve higher safety standards, improved efficiency, and enhanced productivity.
