…affordable.” Rethink Robotics’ Ryder AMRs can be used to shuttle Reacher cobot arms from workcell to workcell, maximizing efficiency and ROI. Source: Rethink Robotics “One AMR can do fleet management for multiple production cells,” McEntyre said. Harbert added the robot arm and AMR portions of an MMR are usually bolted together and not easily separated. “Using a mobile robot and a robotic arm series that can work together and also separate and do their own jobs and then come back together - that is a really new concept,” he said. “It's difficult to set up the same robot arm in…

…demonstrate that point, according to Exotec. Take a traditional shuttle system as an example. These systems typically consist of shuttles dedicated to specific aisles and a series of elevators and conveyors that help move goods between multiple levels in an aisle and eventually get them to warehouse associates. This complexity puts stringent limitations on the system, especially when it comes to the flexibility of the ASRS. For instance, scaling a shuttle system could involve significant modifications to the existing infrastructure, costing time and money, said the company. In addition, if a single point of this system fails—such as an elevator—then…
