Automated Guided Vehicles for Intralogistics

With the driverless transport systems from Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR), Phoenix Mecano offers autonomous mobile robots that stand out for their versatile and flexible application options and user-friendly operation.

The AMRs from Mobile Industrial Robots are versatile in use and flexible in design. MiR robots can be equipped with various add-on modules developed by MiR. These products offer a CE-certified complete solution from MiR. If no suitable add-on module is available, we will create a custom solution as your integrator to meet your specific needs, ensuring the application is perfectly designed for your requirements. Whether for industry or the healthcare sector, we provide tailored solutions.

Our goal is to drive economic automation and increase productivity in your intralogistics. The mobile robots often achieve payback within the first year.

What is the difference between an AMR and an AGV?

There are many terms in the field of autonomous transportation systems. One common term is AGV, which stands for Automated Guided Vehicle. These transport systems require guidance to navigate, often through rails, markings, or magnetic strips embedded in the ground, restricting them to predefined routes.

MiR's driverless transport systems are known as autonomous mobile robots (AMRs). Compared to conventional AGVs, AMRs offer the advantage of self-navigation using sensors and cameras, making them highly flexible in terms of route finding. They autonomously avoid people or objects and orient themselves using a captured map of the environment. This makes AMRs an ideal choice for transitioning to automated guided vehicles without needing to modify your production infrastructure.

  • Obstacle Avoidance: AMR robots independently avoid people and objects

  • Autonomous Navigation: The AMR navigates using cameras and sensors

  • No Infrastructure Modifications: The AMR requires no markings or rails for navigation

How does an AMR navigate?

Thanks to SICK laser scanners, 3D cameras, and proximity sensors, no external navigation systems or guidance aids are needed for navigation. Integrated collision detection ensures the robots work safely and efficiently in dynamic environments alongside your employees. The robots avoid people and objects, continuously orienting themselves to a captured environment map.

The environment map and work missions are managed in the user-friendly, web-based software. No programming knowledge is required to operate the AMR, ensuring quick and easy implementation in your plant. The software is accessible via WLAN from a mobile device, such as a smartphone or tablet, or from a PC. The management and control of multiple AMRs is done via MiR Fleet Management.

Project Process

Successful Implementation of Autonomous Mobile Robots AMR

1

Concept

Based on your task and the prevailing environmental conditions, we develop and individual solution that meets your requirements perfectly.

2

Feasibility

In a feasibility analysis, we verify the concept on realistic test installations. Based on the test results, we adapt the solution and select the appropriate AMR transport robot, as well as the suitable accessories.

3

Implementation

One the feasibility has been confirmed, we implement and program your individual AMR robot application for you. As an integrator, we supply you with a machine/partly completed machine certified in acordance with 2006/42/EC.

4

Commissioning

As a system integrator, we install the robot application at your site. We commission the autonomous mobile robots on site and train your employees. After that you can immediately use the AMR transport robots in your production.

5

Support

In case of any questions and problems regarding the driverless transport systems, we are always there to assist you. In addition, we are happy to handle the maintenance of your MiR fleet. Please get in touch!
