Material Handling Robots
Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs)
The era of rigid magnetic tape and fixed automated guided vehicles (AGVs) is fading. Our Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) represent the next evolution in intralogistics. Unlike traditional systems that require infrastructure modification, our AMRs utilize LiDAR-based SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) technology. This allows the robots to navigate dynamically, recognize unexpected obstacles, and recalculate optimal paths in real-time without human intervention.
Designed for versatility, our AMR fleet supports various top-modules, including roller conveyors, shelf lifters, and collaborative robot arms. The centralized Fleet Management System (FMS) orchestrates traffic control for up to 100 units simultaneously, ensuring seamless "handshakes" between robots and production machinery. This swarm intelligence drastically reduces idle time and optimizes throughput in high-density fulfillment centers.

Utilizes 360-degree safety LiDAR and 3D depth cameras to map environments in real-time, avoiding forklifts, pallets, and personnel instantly.
Intelligent fleet management software assigns tasks to the nearest available robot and manages battery charging cycles autonomously.
Compliant with ISO 3691-4 safety standards, featuring PL d safety scanners that ensure full stops before impact with any obstacle.
Handling Robots & Articulated Arms

palletizing tasks with vacuum gripper.
Stationary handling robots are the backbone of precise pick-and-place, assembly, and palletizing operations. We offer a comprehensive range of articulated robots, from compact Collaborative Robots (Cobots) designed to work alongside humans, to heavy-duty Industrial Gantry Systems capable of moving engine blocks.
Our systems are agnostic to End-of-Arm Tooling (EOAT). Whether you require pneumatic vacuum grippers for cardboard boxes, servo-electric grippers for delicate electronics, or magnetic grippers for sheet metal, our engineering team ensures seamless integration. The robots utilize advanced force-torque sensors to detect payload weight and adjust acceleration curves, preventing damage to goods and maximizing cycle times.
Collaborative vs. Industrial Handling
Choosing the right robot depends on the application environment. Industrial arms prioritize speed and payload, enclosed in safety cages. Cobots prioritize flexibility and safety, allowing for fenceless operation. We analyze your cycle time requirements and floor space constraints to recommend the optimal solution.
| Specification | Industrial Arm (High Speed) | Collaborative Robot (Cobot) |
|---|---|---|
| IP Protection | IP54 (Standard) / IP65 (Optional) | IP54 (Dust Protected) |
| Communication | PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP | WiFi / 5G / REST API |
| Power Supply | 3-Phase 400V / 480V | 24V / 48V DC Li-ion Battery |
| Operating Temp | 0°C to +45°C | 0°C to +40°C |
Smart Forklifts & Automated Guided Vehicles
Automating the vertical movement of goods is critical for maximizing warehouse volume. Our Smart Forklifts combine the lifting capability of traditional material handling equipment with the autonomy of an AMR. Capable of interfacing with high-bay racking systems up to 10 meters, these vehicles utilize 3D pallet detection to align forks perfectly, even if the load is slightly skewed.

Global Compliance & Safety
Safety is paramount in automated environments. Our systems are certified to ISO 10218-1 for robots and ISO 3691-4 for driverless trucks. We implement redundant safety PLCs and conduct thorough Risk Assessments according to ANSI/RIA R15.06 before final commissioning.
Certifications: CE Marked, UL Listed, TÜV SÜD Verified.
Integration Resource Center
We provide full digital twins for simulation before physical installation. Our engineering package includes:
- ROS Drivers & API Documentation
- Simulation Models (Gazebo/Visual Components)
- Electrical Schematics & I/O Maps
- Preventative Maintenance Schedules
*Detailed technical documentation will be sent to your inbox by our engineering team.
Operational Longevity & Maintenance
Uptime is the metric that matters. Our material handling robots are built with modularity in mind. Critical components like servo drives, battery packs, and LiDAR sensors are "hot-swappable," allowing maintenance teams to replace modules in minutes rather than hours.
Predictive Maintenance: All our smart robots are IoT-enabled. They continuously monitor motor temperature, vibration profiles, and battery health, uploading data to the cloud. This allows us to predict component fatigue and schedule maintenance during planned downtime, preventing catastrophic line stoppages.
