MoviĜo Robotics launches a new robot technology platform for production logistics in industries such as food, pharma, automotive and the print industry.
The “Ŝharko5 Technology Platform” is developed based on the proven technology of the highly successful Ŝharko5 robot.
The Ŝharko5 Technology Platform exists of robots and fleet management and process software. The robot platform has a modular design; the front part contains the standardized technology components, the rear part is the lifting unit, easily adapted to fit any carrier.
This flexible approach offers customers mobile robotics solutions that suit their various types of pallets, dollies, trolleys, carts and roll containers. Moreover, it allows for customization of the robots to fit the clients’ needs.
Newly developed robots based on the new technology platform are: the Ŝharko5FP (Full Pallet) omnidirectional AMR, built to transport europallets and US Postal pallets, the Ŝharko5SP (Small Pallet) omnidirectional AMR for half euro pallets and the Ŝharko5RT (Roll Transporter), built to transport paper rolls (reels).
The Ŝharko5 technology platform also comprises fleet management and process software to manage a fleet with different types of robots in one single map. The software uses vision technology to identify the type of carrier and select the appropriate robot accordingly.
For example: when a Euro-pallet needs to be transported, the software selects the Full Pallet (FP) robot, and for a paper roll, in print shops, the Roll Transporter (RT) robot is sent for the job.
The robotics solutions built for the Print Industry is now available as part of the HP Indigo portfolio, the robotics solutions for production logistics in other industries is available at MoviĜo Robotics.
Diego Diaz, global product manager autonomous press and robotics at HP Indigo, says: “As HP is now scaling MoviĜo Robotics’ Print Industry solutions worldwide, having a standardized technology platform will allow for customized solutions at our clients, as well as simplify implementation, service and support.”
Paul van der Hulst, CEO of MoviĜo Robotics, says: “We are dedicated to deliver a complete solution for production logistics. The Ŝharko5 Technology Platform allows us to customize the actual robot part of our solution at no additional costs.
“This allows us to offer customer specific solutions, for a production environment that doesn’t always use standardized carriers.”
