The unique value proposition of mobile robot solutions is revealed best in the guidance system, according to Rob Sullivan, CEO and President of AutoGuide Mobile Robots. The SurePath guidance system, for example, is extremely accurate and reliable in both manufacturing and warehouse environments. SurePath natural feature system is easy and affordable to install and modify; it requires no physical guide path system. Users simply drive a vehicle through the facility to map the environment and teach it the anticipated routes. Sullivan’s article was recently published in Robotics and Automation News.
Sullivan recently discussed how mobile robot proliferation is an extension of lean manufacturing principles in Robotics and Automation News. Mobile robots utilize lean manufacturing to eliminate waste and ensure continuous process improvement. They reduce walk time, improve safety, and guarantee zero-defect production, according to Sullivan.
Whether named autonomous mobile robots or AGVs (automated guided vehicles), Industry 4.0 initiatives all include the requirement of flexible programming and a modular design. Different vehicle and load handling frame configurations accommodate specific handling needs including the driver platform trail frame and tiller handle controls, straddle, or counterbalance fork attachments and various unit-load attachments such as conveyors and lift decks.
