How a top automotive manufacturer went ‘fork free’ to boost productivity and safety

by Leave a Comment

By Rob Sullivan, president and CEO, AutoGuide Mobile Robots

With forklifts an ongoing contributor to workplace accidents, and skilled operators difficult to find and retain in today’s competitive manufacturing environment, automating material transport is solving both issues.

A few years ago, a top-tier automotive manufacturer wanted to reduce how often employees had to manually lift and move heavy objects, and eliminate the risk of forklift-related injuries.

They understood that they needed safer and more efficient solutions for transporting engines and other materials from assembly to testing within their 40,000 square foot facility. [Read more…] about How a top automotive manufacturer went ‘fork free’ to boost productivity and safety

AutoGuide Mobile Robots recently organised a series of webinars in association with Robotics and Automation News. All three webinars contained expert advice for deploying autonomous 
mobile robots at your facility and took place in November, December and January. A recording of all three webinars is available here. [Read more…] about Looking to deploy autonomous mobile robots?

Webinar: Thinking about upgrading critical storage and retrieval systems to stay competitive?

by Leave a Comment

ASRS or Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems have sometimes been considered automatic and heavy. Global enterprises today have been known to spend €40 to €80 million to build out automated storage & retrieval systems (ASRS) within their operations.

This means that some smaller organisations have been unable to upgrade critical storage and retrieval systems to stay competitive. With this in mind, Robotics and Automation News recommends the following webinar.

As deployment times quicken and significant efficiency gains are realized, the pace of automation adoption is accelerating.

According to a recent McKinsey study, 30% having fully automated one or more business operations processes, with 59% of respondents having piloted automation for at least one function or business unit(1).

With numerous applications, crossing several verticals, automation has become an integral part of improving operational efficiency, driving down costs and improving margins. [Read more…] about Driving Operational Efficiency with Autonomous Mobile Robots

by Leave a Comment

AutoGuide Mobile Robots,  a leading manufacturer of high-payload autonomous mobile robot (AMR) systems, today announced the opening of a new European office. The office in Munich supports sales, service and support, as well as deployment and training, throughout greater Europe. Local staff will work closely with its European system integrators to meet increasing demand for AutoGuide’s innovative autonomous mobile robots.

“With a strong demand for our high-payload AMRs across the region, we felt expanding our European operation would deliver the highest level of support for our distributors and customers,” said Jan Nicolay, director for European Operations, AutoGuide. “Munich’s highly talented and efficient workforce, business-friendly climate and central location made it the ideal choice.” [Read more…] about AutoGuide Mobile Robots Opens New European Office

Autonomous Mobile Robots Deliver on the Promise of Safer Operations

Rob Sullivan, President, AutoGuide Mobile Robots

You need to move material but moving that material is risky business. Ninety percent of all forklifts in the US will be in an accident during their useful life, and almost 35,000 people per year suffer severe injuries in forklift-related incidents.

Accidents happen and people are injured when a forklift driver’s view is obscured by the load they’re carrying. It happens all the time but there’s a better way.

Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs). Robots that can navigate autonomously along pre-determined paths using only the natural features of the facility. They have built-in sensors and LiDAR scanners that detect objects and personnel in their path to substantially reduce accidents of all kinds.

Why AMRs Make Sense

by Leave a Comment

By Rob Sullivan, President, AutoGuide Mobile Robots

The next evolution of industrial robots is here and they are autonomous. Traditionally manned forklifts have been used to transport materials.

The first step into autonomy was automated guided vehicles (AGVs), which require substantial infrastructure to be useful. We now have a new generation of industrial vehicles – autonomous mobile robots (AMRs).

They are fully autonomous and guided by natural features already present in a facility. They require very little effort to deploy so bringing them into your operation is not as hard as you might think.

With a few key pieces of information, you can understand how AMRs can transform your operation and what steps you’ll need to take to make this a reality. [Read more…] about Why AMRs Make Sense
