AGILOX North America is adding an autonomous dolly mover to its range of intelligent transport systems controlled by its proprietary X-Swarm intelligence. AGILOX boasts that it is targeting a new area of applications: the transport of small-load carriers.
AGILOX is expanding its autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) range with the new Omnidirectional Dolly Mover AGILOX ODM, which can accept loads with a maximum weight of 300 kg / 661 lbs. to a maximum lifting height of 250 mm / 10 inches and transport them to their destination. The intelligent AMR concept based on the AGILOX X-SWARM technology opens up new areas of applications and other industry segments where small-load carriers (such as totes) are widely used, especially in the electronics and pharmaceutical industries, its maker notes.
The AGILOX ODM is a true autonomous mobile robot—the compact vehicle travels autonomously and navigates freely on the production floor or in the warehouse, ensuring in-house material flow. It uses an omnidirectional drive concept that enables it to travel transversely into rack aisles and turn on the spot, allowing it to maneuver in tight spaces. The lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) accumulator ensures short charge times and long operating cycles, per AGILOX.
