Mobile robots

AGVs and AMRs that move totes, carts and pallets between stations, so your people stop pushing carts.

What it does

  • Line-side delivery

    Brings parts and packaging to the line before it runs out.

  • End of line to shipping

    Takes finished totes and pallets away as they fill.

  • Point-to-point and tugging

    Work in progress between departments, or a train of carts behind a tugger.

  • The right vehicle

    We pick a proven off-the-shelf robot for your loads and aisles, e.g. OTTO, MiR or Seegrid.

  • Connected to your plant

    Call buttons, PLC handshakes, conveyors and automatic doors.

  • Routes your people trust

    Mapping, speed zones and forklift crossings, set up with your team.

A typical first job

One or two robots on your busiest routeExample scope, not a client case study
Problem
People spend their shifts pushing carts between the same two places.
We install
1–3 cart robots or one tugger, a charger, call buttons or a PLC handshake, on 1–3 routes.
Timeline
2–4 months
Typical range
Scoped after a site survey
Best fit
Dry floors, decent Wi-Fi and marked forklift crossings.
Measured by
Moves per shift and hours handed back. Our integration work is typically $25k–80k (estimate), vehicles extra.

What you get

  • Site survey

    Floors, aisles, slopes and Wi-Fi checked before anything is bought.

  • Map and traffic rules

    Routes, zones and speed limits, handed over in your name.

  • Risk assessment

    To the mobile-robot safety standards (R15.08, ISO 3691-4).

  • Plant connections

    Call buttons, PLC signals and doors, documented.

  • Operator training

    Your team learns to send, recover and re-route the robots.

  • Hypercare, then support

    30–90 days of close support after go-live, then remote access you control.

Questions plants ask

Why not buy straight from the robot maker?

For a small fleet you'll usually buy through a partner anyway. We do the plant-side work the maker won't: PLC and door signals, carts, the risk assessment and ongoing support.

Will it work alongside our forklifts?

Usually, if lanes and crossings are separated, marked and speed-zoned. Heavy, unstructured forklift traffic is the most common reason a first deployment struggles.

What does payback really look like?

Makers claim under a year; treat that as a claim. It pays back when it takes over a person's moves across two or more shifts. A one-shift, low-volume route may never pay back, and we'll tell you.
