AGILOX expands its product portfolio with an clever dolly mover
After AGILOX ONE and AGILOX OCF, now comes AGILOX ODM. The corporate, which focuses on logistics robots, is including an autonomous dolly mover to its vary of clever transport programs managed by swarm intelligence. AGILOX is thus concentrating on a totally new space of utility: the transport of small load carriers.
AGILOX is increasing its vary of Autonomous Cell Robots (AMRs) with the brand new Omnidirectional Dolly Mover AGILOX ODM. Whereas the AGILOX ONE is provided with a scissor carry and the AGILOX OCF has a free carry for load dealing with, the AGILOX ODM is constructed on the precept of a dolly mover. This implies it might probably settle for masses with a most weight of 300 kg to a most lifting top of 250 mm and transport them to their vacation spot. The clever AMR idea with AGILOX X-SWARM expertise thus opens up new areas of utility and different business segments as a result of small load carriers (akin to totes), which the brand new AGILOX ODM is designed to move, are extensively used, particularly within the electronics and pharmaceutical industries.
Particulars of the brand new AGILOX ODM
With the AGILOX ODM, AGILOX has introduced new considering to the idea of Automated Guided Autos: The compact automobile travels autonomously and navigates freely on the manufacturing ground or within the warehouse, completely guaranteeing the in-house materials stream. Similar to AGILOX ONE and AGILOX OCF, AGILOX ODM makes use of an omnidirectional drive idea. This permits it to journey transversely into rack aisles in addition to activate the spot, enabling it to maneuver even within the tightest of areas. The lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) accumulator ensures quick cost instances and lengthy working cycles.
“AGILOX is a model that has constructed a powerful basis with the AGILOX ONE and the AGILOX OCF. With the brand new AGILOX ODM, we stay true to our model DNA whereas concurrently concentrating on the transport of small load carriers to assist our development plan to turn into the world’s main AMR supplier,” says Georg Kirchmayr, CEO of AGILOX Providers GmbH.
The AGILOX benefit
With the brand new AGILOX ODM, prospects can profit from all the benefits of identical confirmed X-SWARM expertise as in AGILOX ONE and AGILOX OCF: the distinctive benefits of an (intra-)logistics answer designed from the bottom up.
Since AGILOX AMRs don’t have any want for a central management system and might orient to the prevailing contours with millimeter precision, this eliminates time-consuming and dear modifications to the prevailing infrastructure. Autonomous route-finding additionally allows the automobiles to keep away from obstacles unaided. If it isn’t doable to get previous the detected impediment due its dimension or the accessible clearance, the AMRs calculate a brand new route inside seconds to succeed in their vacation spot as shortly as doable. For patrons, this implies most freedom of their present processes, as a result of they don’t have to adapt to the Autonomous Cell Robotic system. As an alternative, the system adapts to the client’s processes. Moreover, totally autonomous routing ensures a secure workflow – even in blended operations.
Plug & Carry out commissioning of the clever intralogistics options and the absence of a grasp laptop or navigation aids additionally saves AGILOX prospects from doing tedious alteration work prematurely. As soon as the logistics robots have been put into operation, they set up themselves in line with the (decentralized) precept of swarm intelligence, i.e. they change data a number of instances a second to allow the whole fleet to calculate probably the most environment friendly route and forestall potential deadlocks earlier than these can happen. The client thus advantages from a system that continuously runs easily, with no downtime. Time-consuming coordination of automobiles by the client can also be a factor of the previous due to AGILOX X-SWARM expertise. For the client, this implies flexibility, as a result of it lets them develop the automobiles’ space of operation inside only a few minutes. It additionally signifies that it is extremely straightforward to relocate an AGILOX AMR for use quickly in different areas of the corporate areas or its subsidiaries. Since AGILOX automobiles may talk with different machines or the constructing infrastructure by the use of IO containers, even rolling doorways or a number of flooring aren’t any downside for the AMRs. So, this too signifies that prospects take pleasure in most flexibility within the group of their manufacturing processes.
One other main benefit comes from blended operation of the AGILOX fleet in a “swarm”. The smaller AGILOX ONE and ODM collection automobiles can then, for instance, feed the meeting workstations or e-Kanban racks, whereas the AGILOX OCF automobiles transport the pallets. This could simply be accomplished as a result of AGILOX AMRs all use the identical management and WiFi infrastructure.
