With such promising results, many companies are now interested in AMR technology. The good news is that buyers can now choose from a broad selection of AMR models to determine the most efficient and cost-effective for their fulfillment requirements.
One of the most important factors is the AMR’s payload capacity. A larger payload capacity AMR can manage a larger workload than smaller AMRs, reducing the number of AMRs required to accomplish the same work.
Numina Group’s large capacity RDS™ AMR Batchbot™, compared to the capacity limits of smaller AMRs, is proven to deliver enhanced productivity, better resource utilization, and, ultimately, improved profitability. AMR Batchbot also reduces the number of AMRs required to achieve throughput goals, resulting in a lower technology investment requirement.
Payload capacity is the maximum weight that can be loaded onto an AMR during fulfillment before it needs to be off-loaded and re-inserted into the workflow. Large-capacity AMRs deliver the following benefits:
To highlight the advantages of larger payload capacity, consider the following infographic that contrasts small AMR applications with Batchbot picking applications:
Watch the video below to how a large capacity AMR solution enhances performance and reduces the overall need for additional equipment such as forklifts and smaller AMRs.
