The engineering company Baumüller Anlagen-Systemtechnik has been developing and implementing solutions for manufacturing automation for many years. One of its fields is the development of flexible and easy-to-integrate systems in the fields of intralogistics and manufacturing. Here, Baumüller offers autonomous mobile robots (AMR) as turnkey solutions for agile modern production. AMR systems can lower process costs and significantly boost productivity, e.g. in intralogistics, testing and diagnostics technology, the manufacturing industry, and the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors.

AMRs can efficiently perform many tasks with low added value in manufacturing, healthcare, and commercial facilities. Their use can mitigate manpower shortages and help to achieve a higher machine utilization rate in manufacturing operations.

Together with SESTO Robotics, Baumüller offers the entire service spectrum ranging from design to integration at the customer site, as well as other relevant services. AMRs can be combined with collaborative articulated-arm robots to perform assembly tasks, for example, or used for internal material flow. They increase productivity in manufacturing and logistics thanks to shorter walking distances, faster transport times, and improved flexibility in the use of materials and tools.

Compact mobile robot with one of the highest payloads in its class

The AMRs can be equipped with different structures of up to 300 kg and increase productivity in production and logistics thanks to shortened walking distances, faster transport times, and flexibility in the use of materials and tools. As an experienced systems supplier, Baumüller contributes its know-how for successful and smooth integration into the existing environment and the available automation concept and realizes the customer-specific structures.

As an entry-level device and for smaller payloads, Baumüller offers a Lite variant with the same compact dimensions. It is designed for smaller payloads of up to 100 kg with technical options that are otherwise identical regarding navigation, safety, connectivity, and accessories. It is perfectly suited for transport tasks.

The AMRs are available with collaborative robots (HRC) of various manufacturers, lifting units, intelligent racking systems, and other individually implementable structures. The AMRs are also suitable for use in class 100 clean rooms and offer a rechargeable battery with a life of 10 hours. If a configurable battery charge level falls below the permitted level, the AMR automatically drives to the charging station and requires a maximum of 90 minutes for an 80% charge.

AMR experts live and on site

At the LogiMAT in Stuttgart, Baumüller, together with the intralogistics provider Fb Industry Automation GmbH, will be showing the direct cross-system interaction between an AMR and a shuttle storage system. The loading and unloading process from a small load carrier takes place without additional mechanical components.

Baumüller’s AMR experts will be available for personal consultation and can be reached by email at amr@baumueller.com.
