…customer production environments. Palion Lift combines Seegrid's 3D vision-based navigation with situational awareness to automate pallet movement, noted the company. The company said its newest AMR can autonomously transport loads up to 3,500 lb. throughout customer operations. It can precisely and securely retrieve and place palletized goods at heights of up to 6 ft. for an “end-to-end solution for pallet movement,” said Seegrid. The Palion Tow Tractor autonomously transforms horizontal material movement by tugging cart trains and other payloads weighing up to 10,000 lb. It uses proprietary navigation technology for safe deliveries, Seegrid added. With new advances in perception technology,…

…Vehicles combine proven technology with cutting-edge automation, including accurate navigation technology designed to help increase warehouse and operator efficiency,” he added. Jungheinrich EKX 516ka can be customized Mitsubishi Logisnext said the new AGV features 180 degree swiveling forks, which allow it to maneuver aisles as narrowly as 68.” Customers can also configure the robot to feature an on-board battery charger, bus bar, and current collector to have it operate continuously. Using radio frequency identification transponders and field-test wire guidance, the robot has a precise understanding of its position within a warehouse. The robot can be operated manually, semi-autonomously, and fully…

…and frequently without wearing out contacts or requiring precise navigation to charging stations. What are some of the environmental challenges for wireless charging? “One of the biggest challenges is the tolerance,” Waters replied. “A company might want accuracy to 1 cm, based on the robot's lidar and camera, but then if you add tolerance of the wheels and steps to pivot, the robot can dock within 3 to 5 cm. We try to maximize positional flexibilty.” “If it’s outside of that range, an AMR will still charge, but not at the full rated current,” he added. “The API will tell…
