…modules can negatively impact the functioning of AMRs and AGVS. Scott McGill, Director of Sales for Cornerstone: “Concrete often has worn and uneven surfaces that disrupt the functioning of laser-based navigation systems, or cracks and spalling that lead to wear and tear on robot wheels and hardware. Further, concrete floors tend to not be level. Because most robots are not equipped with a braking system, an un-level floor can cause a robot system to roll away from its target point, requiring unscheduled downtime and manual intervention to get it back in its proper position.” McGill continues: “Conversely, applications utilizing ResinDek…
