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

February 22, 2024 by David Edwards

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
