For managing material handling needs specifically, many manufacturers are deploying Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) to improve efficiency and productivity.

In an Ohio facility, the apparel brand and its 3PL partner are working with AMRs to process as many as 110,000 units in a day.

At this year's ProMat, Modern met with three of the more than two dozen Chinese solution providers in Chicago to learn what they’re bringing to the U.S. market

Kivnon (Booth N7154) introduced a new Forklift Pallet Stacker that automatically transports stack pallets, handling loads of up to 2,645 pounds.

AGILOX (Booth N731) is adding an autonomous dolly mover to its range autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) controlled by its proprietary X-Swarm intelligence.

At a press conference on Tuesday, OTTO Motors (Booth N7537) unveiled its newest autonomous mobile robot (AMR), OTTO 600.

During a Tuesday press conference, Jungheinrich (Booth S1918) discussed its EKX 516ka/516a, an automatic guided vehicle (AGV) high-rack stacker, as well as other models.

Automatic guided vehicles have become a bit of a mystery to some of late. Newer technologies and explanations of them have often confused potential buyers. Here’s a rundown on conventional AGVs, where they are important and what's coming next.

The AMRs have enabled the manufacturer’s workers to focus on high-value production tasks.

Providers of casters and automated carts aren’t quite reinventing the wheel, but they are evolving to better support the move toward automation. That means evolution in terms of caster designs that are maintenance free and easy to roll to support high uptime.

Once thought of as reliant on fixed guidance infrastructure and aimed at moving larger loads across facilities, the automatic guided vehicle evolved. AGVs today can move loads large and small, and some can reliably lift multiple levels high. Some now even use natural feature navigation and collaborate more closely with people.

A mobile goods-to-person order picking system helps an abrasives products maker efficiently fill orders from expanded inventory, while also bringing some training and retention benefits.

Main focus of new company, T-Hive, will be to provide a control system encompassing all AVs within TICO, such as automated guided forklifts (AGFs), automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs).

Waypoint Robotics teamed with Productive Robotics to make mobile manipulation accessible for small to mid-sized companies.

During ProMatDX, Seegrid Corporation is showcasing the Palion Lift AMR, a new autonomous lift truck.

Numina Group has introduced RDS Batchbot, a warehouse software application that fully synchronizes people and AMRs’ work tasks across the entire pick, pack and ship operation.

JBT is exhibiting its Warehouse Freezer AGV, which can operate in an array of temperatures, from -10ºF to 110ºF.

At ProMatDX, SICK is highlighting a number of applications for stationary and mobile robots to improve supply chain operations and logistics processes.

Throughout this week at ProMatDX, GreyOrange will be showcasing its Ranger GTP, a decision-driven science robotic goods-to-person (GTP) system.

AutoGuide Mobile Robots is showcasing MAX-N AMRs at ProMatDX this week.
