…people is key to their ongoing success, according to ROEQ. But safety in these applications is about much more than the navigation of the robot itself through your facility. Mobile robotic equipment (MRE) – including the lifts, carts, and top rollers that interface with conveyors and other surrounding equipment – are critical elements that allow the mobile robot to perform its tasks. And workers who load and unload material may actually have more interaction with those top modules than the AMR itself. How do safety standards apply to top modules? Around the world, standards organizations and regional regulatory bodies have…

…logistics operations that don't only deal with lightweight goods. ROEQ's TMS-C500, for example, is part of their cart series that can transport weights up to 1100lbs, while being very maneuverable. The cart is designed to be super safe, with easy cutouts and emergency stops built in. But such heavy payload AMRs also boost safety for personnel. Personnel don't have to be the ones who risk injury from heavy carting and loading. Instead, they can watch the AMR take the load and guide it about. Plus, if there's any catastrophe or collision, it's the machine that's at risk and not the…

…grippers or other tooling. Another type of specialist is ROEQ, a Danish company focused on top modules for AMRs. ROEQ is known for its mobile robotic equipment or “MRE” for larger format AMRs from Mobile Industrial Robots (MIR) At Automate, ROEQ was demonstrating its new ROEQ TMC130, a top module and cart system for the OMRON LD-90x that increases payload from 90kg (198lb) up to 130kg (287lb). ROEQ also offers a top module the larger OMRON LD-250 robots. These MREs are part hardware, but they need software and digital communication to work well with the AMR, a function supported by…

ROEQ ApS today announced that it is continuing to expand its line of accessories for autonomous mobile robots, or AMRs. The Vissenbjerg, Denmark-based company said its ROEQ TMC130 top module and cart system will increase the payload capacity of OMRON LD-90x AMRs from 90 kg (198 lb.) to 130 kg (287 lb.). The new system, which ROEQ developed with OMRON, will expand options for customers to safely and reliably use the compact LD-90x robot for higher-payload missions, even where space is constrained, said the companies. “It’s been a pleasure collaborating with ROEQ on this new cart system for our LD…

…the MiR250 shelf-lifter that pulls carts from MiR partner ROEQ allowed DENSO to expand quickly into other areas using the same cart base and customizing it for each use. As the engineering team receives additional requests for automated conveyance, they can easily design racks around the carts, helping to free up space, increase flexibility, and gain advantages more quickly. AMRs improve employee morale, retention DENSO employees were walking up to 12 miles per day moving material between production areas and the warehouse, spending about 60% of their time just pushing carts, said Olinger. The initial pilot program to automate this…

…from Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR) combined with MRE from ROEQ (short for “Robotic Equipment”) to automate some key processes. The operation uses a combination of MiR200 AMRs combined with ROEQ TMC300 top modules, carts, and docking stations. The top modules communicate with the AMRs. Meanwhile, the carts carry materials, with the cart designed to distribute load weight, effectively boosting each AMR’s payload capacity while contributing to enhanced fleet productivity. MiR fleet and ROEQ MRE digitize supply chain “Our fleet consists of six MiR200s, most of which carry raw materials and finished products between the warehouse and one of the value…

…with a partner ecosystem of technology leaders Kinexon and ROEQ to provide customers a leading-edge AMR solution out of one hand.” Continental says its AMRs are versatile, maneuverable Since 2020, Continental has successfully deployed its AMRs at several of its production locations worldwide. The company said it built its mobile robots in-house to meet the demands and challenges of factories that are taking advantage of automation and artificial intelligence. With measurements of only 1,455 mm (57 in.) length, 630 mm (24 in.) width, and 225 mm (8.8 in.) height, the AMRs can carry significant loads up to 1.2 tons (2,400…

…providing another layer.” Top modules from partners such as ROEQ for the MiR600 and 1350 offer flexibility “out of the box” without requiring extensive customization for different tasks or workflows, said MiR. These top modules enable the AMRs to pick up and drop off pallets and carts for easy integration and scalability throughout the entire value chain, it claimed. “Dimensionally, the new robots are close to the MiR500 and MiR1000, so they will work with existing pallet racks and top modules such as a conveyor deck,” said Charles. “It's the same mechanical and electrical interface; we're just adding some capacity.”
