Executive summary

TTI, Inc. in Maisach-Gernlinden faced the problem that its autonomous mobile robots (AMR) from Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR) and automated guided vehicles (AGV) from BILA A/S could not operate in an environment w

Most of us associate the term ‘Robo Dance’ with positive attributes. Immediately, images of dancing robots performing human movements or people imitating robots come to mind - which admittedly can look very funny. But in intralogistics, the ‘Robo Dance’ tends to cause frustration because it massivel

Identifying reliable manufacturers of mobile robots is an important building block when it comes to integrating Autonomous Mobile robots (AMRs) and Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) in warehouses. The market for mobile robots is very fragmented, many manufacturers are entering the market and offering

Identifying reliable robots is an important building block when it comes to integrating mobile robots (AMRs, AGVs) in warehouses. The market for mobile robots is very fragmented, many manufacturers are entering the market and offering various products. This article shows you which aspects play a rol

The proof of concept (PoC), an initial, experimental test of the mobile robot on-site, enables initial experience to be gained with the new mobile robot. In particular, whether the robot is suitable for the selected use case. After the test phase, an evaluation of the results is therefore required t

The arrival of your mobile robot is imminent. Therefore, you should make important preparations to initiate the start of the integration in the best possible way. The proof of concept (PoC) is significant for the success of the automation project, as the mobile robot is tested on-site. In the articl

Expectations are at the beginning of every project. During a proof of concept (PoC) with mobile robots, ideas and expectations arise among all stakeholders about how the project should run. Managing these expectations is therefore important to get all stakeholders on board and create motivation for

Mobile robots in logistics are used for various use cases. Among other things, they are used in picking, box transport, or workplace cleaning. Consequently, the optimal robot solution depends on the choice of the process to be automated. In this article, you will learn how to get from your selected

Mobile robots are used in many areas of Logistics 4.0. In intralogistics, mobile robots efficiently and autonomously move goods from A to B, pick products according to an order and thus relieve employees of repetitive and physically demanding tasks. At the beginning of their Robot Automation Journey

Timing is a key element in project management. During the execution of a proof of concept (PoC), an initial on-site pre-test with mobile robots, a timeline can support you in finding the right flow. If it is designed effectively it enables successful time management and thus an optimal timing of the

The integration of automated guided vehicles (AGV) and autonomous mobile robots (AMR) in warehouses is a significant automation project for logistics or production companies. These companies profit by the optimal use of mobile robots can create flexible and highly efficient logistics processes. Thi

How do we successfully implement a mobile robot in our company? Can we test a mobile robot in the company in advance? What changes in the warehouse when we integrate robots? How do we make the performance of the robots measurable? We were asked these and many more questions by several companies duri
