TO keep up with demand for autonomous material handling solutions, Interroll has developed an autonomous mobile robot (AMR) Top Module as an expansion to its Light Conveyor Platform (LCP).
The firm, which is exhibiting at PPMA Show this week, revealed that the roving conveyor solution has been successfully tested with MiR and OMRON.
Interroll said the current robotic market is evaluated with an annual growth rate (CAGR) of more than 20% by 2027, indicating a ‘flourishing’ demand for collaborative robots and the integration of robotics in fields such as logistics.
The LCP AMR Top Module conveyor module enables the handling of lightweight goods and offers a ‘seamless’ interface which the company said guarantees a smooth material flow when an AMR is integrated.
AMRs are used in a variety of applications in fields such as material handling, production, manufacturing and goods transportation. The robots themselves are used for repetitive, rough or dangerous setups and can operate in a variety of environments.
“This new product launch reflects our commitment to addressing industry challenges and exemplifies our dedication to providing solutions in a rapidly evolving landscape,” said Jens Struewing, executive VP products & technology at Interroll. “Undoubtedly, our new LCP AMR Top module will set new standards for the robotics environment in which we operate.”
