Autonomous Mobile Robots
Flexible automation can easily adapt to a variety of warehouse layouts and sizes. When compared to manual operations or traditionally-automated environments, the use of Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) can easily improve the efficiency of supply chain operations.

What are the benefits?
By taking on many manual movement activities in the warehouse, AMRs can deliver everything from intricate picking fulfillment to moving pallets and large payloads – improving workforce productivity and safety.
AMRs are far more affordable than traditional automation and easy to scale once in place. This can support either long-term growth or short-term seasonality, giving you the agility you need in your operations.
Mobile robots are also a connected asset ideal for optimizing your facility: they feed a continuous stream of data about the warehouse operation back into the WMS to allow complete visibility about speed, mistakes, efficiencies and other data points. This enables continous optimization of your operation.

“With Infios’s AMR solution, which is based on Geek+ technology, we immediately saw a very fast and efficient picking productivity and throughput solution.”
Do you know which AMR to choose?
Best deployed in larger warehouses with a high number of fast-moving SKUs and a lack of personnel, goods-to-person bots provide simple on-boarding training, storage flexibility and high SKU churn. They reduce labor costs and the impact of limited labor availability.
Person-to-goods bots are best deployed in traditional aisle picking environments where pickers travel around the warehouse, collecting items one by one to fulfill a specific order. These bots reduce travel around the warehouse and congestion from automatic routing. In addition, they provide flexibility, scalability and improved accuracy.
Conveyancing robots fill a unique and varied role in the warehouse with their ability to perform both case and pallet movements. Alone or as part of an interleaved process, they can move and track virtually anything. Conveying robots are well suited for material handling tasks.
Sortation bots, on the other hand, are best deployed in any operation that picks small and complete orders, such as eCommerce. Highly scalable and quick to implement, especially when compared to more static sortation automation. Sortation bots can handle returns, dynamic routes, batch picking and more.

FAQs
An Autonomous Mobile Robot (or AMR) is a type of robot that can both understand and move through its environment independently. An AMR can do so without being directly overseen by an operator or limited to a fixed and predetermined path.
Unlike Autonomous Guided Vehicles (AGVs), AMRs operate from a digital map of their environment, and require little or no infrastructure modification. An AGV is a computer-controlled means of transport that follows a predestined path around a facility, warehouse or distribution center without an operator or driver.
AMRs can be used in various ways inside the warehouse. One of the most common applications for AMR robots is the transport of pallets within warehouses and facilities. AMRs are also capable of intricate picking fulfillment and large payloads.
AMRs use a set of sensors, cameras, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to compute a path to navigate through the environment without human control or intervention.
