Omron launches new integrated autonomous mobile robot solutions with lifter and roller modules from ROEQ

by

Omron’s new medium-payload autonomous mobile robots, the MD-650 and the MD-900, are launching as complete solutions with top modules by ROEQ, a leader in mobile robotic equipment.

Businesses looking to deploy autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) in their facility often realize that an AMR without a top module is like a robot arm without a gripper.

A lifter top module enables an AMR to drive underneath the cargo, lift it up and transport it to the desired location, while a top roller makes sure that the cargo is seamlessly transferred from the AMR to a conveyor station, providing a fully-automated, efficient logistics cycle.

Kyle Hable, group product manager, Omron Robotics and Safety Technologies, says: “Manufacturers are adopting AMR technology at a staggering rate as the world moves forward from the supply chain crisis inflicted by the pandemic and it’s never been more important to launch complete, out of the box solutions accelerating production automation projects.” [Read more…] about Omron launches new integrated autonomous mobile robot solutions with lifter and roller modules from ROEQ

Roeq debuts new cart system for 130 kg-payload Omron autonomous mobile robot

by

Roeq, a developer of mobile robotic equipment, is continuing its product line expansion, with a stated aim of “turning autonomous mobile robots into powerful, flexible, multi-tasking workers”.

At Automate 2023, the company is planning to debut the Roeq TMC130 solution: a top module and cart system for the Omron LD-90x that increases payload from 90 kg (198 lb) up to 130 kg (287 lb).

Developed in collaboration with Omron, the TMC130 solution expands options for customers to safely and reliably use the compact LD-90x robot for higher payload missions, even where space is constrained. [Read more…] about Roeq debuts new cart system for 130 kg-payload Omron autonomous mobile robot

ROEQ doubles capacity of Omron robot with newly designed cart system

by

Businesses implementing the Omron LD-250 autonomous mobile robot (AMR) now have a powerful new option to dramatically increase payload without having to invest in a larger, more expensive AMR solution.

The ROEQ solution with the new TMC500 top module and Cart500 developed for the Omron LD-250, not only doubles the AMR payload, it also provides a standardized, safe, and flexible solution for internal logistics tasks.

Kyle Hable, group product manager, Omron Robotics and Safety Technologies, says: “This exciting new relationship with ROEQ gives our customers access to fast and cost-effective options for their toughest mobile automation initiatives.

New cart from Roeq ‘doubles payload’ of autonomous mobile robots

by

A new cart solution developed by Roeq will double the payload of autonomous mobile robots from Mobile Industrial Robots.

Roeq says it followed the principle of “Doing more with less” because this is what users of the MiR250 mobile robot will realize with its new Roeq TMS-C500 Ext and S-Cart500 Ext.

As the product name indicates, the new top module/cart combo enables the robot to carry up to 500 kg payload (1102 lbs), effectively doubling the payload of MiR’s best-selling AMR. [Read more…] about New cart from Roeq ‘doubles payload’ of autonomous mobile robots

ROEQ’s new GuardCom system delivers faster transfer of goods between mobile robots and stationary conveyors

by

ROEQ, the leader in mobile robotic equipment, is launching GuardCom, leveraging robust sensor technology for instant communication between ROEQ’s top rollers – conveyors on top of mobile robots – and stationary conveyors.

This new solution replaces cumbersome, Wi-Fi-dependent 3rd party setups that often cause delays and mismanagement in the transfer of goods from mobile robots onto conveyors and vice versa. ROEQ is now also releasing top rollers with adjustable height for Mobile Industrial Robots’ models, MiR250, MiR500 and MiR1000.

Wi-Fi instability is a common workplace challenge. In material handling applications with devices communicating through complicated setups passing data around between mobile robots, 3rd party receiving stations and conveyors, an intermittent Wi-Fi network is prone to cause costly errors and downtime.
