AMRs and AGVs for cartons and small load carriers

Automating transports using SSI Mobile Robots

Automated logistics processes help to make material flows more efficient and flexible and increase operational performance. Particularly in the areas of logistics and production, maximum reliability is crucial, as is the ability to react quickly to changing needs and requirements.

Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) perform these tasks in a reliable and cost-effective manner. They offer great potential for optimization, especially when it comes to small load carriers. The compact class of SSI Compact Load AGVs from SSI SCHAEFER is ideally suited for this purpose.

The most important application options and advantages of these technologies:

Increase efficiency: The automatic transportation of the small load carriers reduces manual activities and walking distances.
Improve ergonomics and safety: The ergonomic strain on your employees is reduced and the risk of accidents at work is minimized.
Reduce costs: Automated transportation of your small load carriers reduces staff costs and increases productivity.

The Vehicles can be classified based on the functions listed below

RackBot: The smart storage and picking robot

Transporting up to 9 small load carriers simultaneously – that is the RackBot! It can also handle different load carriers and load carrier sizes, making it an extremely flexible AMR.

WEASEL

Our WEASEL® is ideally suited for small load carriers such as bins, cartons or goods on hangers weighing up to 35 kg. Find out more.

WEASEL® Lite

The WEASEL® Lite is the new variant of the established AGV. The descriptor “Lite” explains its easy integration into the existing buildings and processes. Companies can carry out the implementation themselves – without fleet controller, expert knowledge and superordinate IT installation.

AMY mobile transport robot: Compact, efficient and reliable

Simply plug and play: this makes AMY optimally scalable. AMY also offers a variety of load handling devices and can transport small load carriers weighing up to 25 kg.

Compact

We offer the compact automated guided vehicle “Sally” in cooperation with our partner DS AUTOMOTION and it can carry loads up to approx. 100 kg. Sally handles various transport tasks and navigates independently through a room by using SLAM technology (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping). The large number of modular structures – from conveyor technology, belt or roller conveyors and rack units to customer-specific designs – enable the handling of different loads.

Rackbot Systems: Autonomous Solutions for Efficient Picking

Areas of application: Where can AMRs and AGVs demonstrate their advantages?

The simple answer is: Wherever flexibility is required and it is necessary to react quickly to changing needs. This means that additional vehicles can be integrated quickly and easily – and if one needs maintenance, all the others can continue to carry out their work.

In the e-commerce sector and production warehouses, they can automatically transport small load carriers to the picking stations.
When transporting materials in warehouses, production halls, or similar dynamic environments where requirements and layouts change frequently, they ensure constant material flow.
AMRs and AGVs can be easily integrated into existing warehouse management systems (WMS) to automate processes.
They can be seamlessly integrated into automated storage and conveying systems to optimize material flow.
