…too can mobile robots gain capabilities with new accessories. ROEQ recently launched a module and cart that will more than double the payload of Mobile Industrial Robots' MiR250. The TMS-C500 Ext module and the S-Cart500 Ext cart work together to increase MiR250’s payload from 250 to 500 kg (551 to 1,102 lb), according to ROEQ. The TMS-C500 Ext is placed on top of the autonomous mobile robot (AMR) and slides into position under the S-Cart500 Ext. Founded in 2017, ROEQ develops and manufactures mobile robot equipment (MRE). The Vissenbjerg, Denmark-based company sells its products through more than 100 distributors to…

…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…

…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…

…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…

…button that ensures an ergonomic environment for workers. Source: ROEQ Avoid DIY remorse Harbour raises an important point. This knowledge gap around the importance of professionally designed, fully functional mobile robotic equipment has given rise to a trend of companies trying to build and deploy their own equipment. I know this because a significant number of our end users are former DIYers in the MRE space. They have tried to design and deploy their own MRE and, despite several design tweaks and fresh iterations, they are ready to embrace standardized MRE solutions. Designing and deploying your own MRE is a…

…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…
