What are the major advantages of Autonomous Mobile Robots

1. Greater Flexibility
Autonomous Mobile Robots are able to adapt and fluid automation because of their dependence on cameras as well as onboard sensors. Autonomous Mobile Robots are able to design their own efficient pathways within a facility. Autonomous Mobile Robots avoid following established routes and can therefore be open to new routes. Autonomous Mobile Robots are also flexible enough that they can be modified to carry out different tasks more quickly than other automation technologies that require more time and effort to program.

2. More Safety
Autonomous Mobile Robots are packed to the gills with sensors and cameras. These cameras let Autonomous Mobile Robots interpret and understand their environment. Autonomous Mobile Robots can then move efficiently within a building without hitting products, people, or infrastructure. Forklifts as well as other equipment operated by humans, like forklifts, are safer however they still depend on input from humans. Autonomous Mobile Robots are more secure than human operators. Human operators can be disoriented or tired and could cause an accident. Autonomous Mobile Robots are able to carry out repetitive tasks, and decrease human error. This greatly increases safety.

3. Quick Implementation
Autonomous Mobile Robots can be set up within a matter of weeks depending on the operation. (Especially important in this case are the picking software and warehouse execution software that the units will need to integrate with.) Even for those on the top end of the spectrum this is a relatively quick time frame, particularly when compared to other technology. A goods-to-person-system (G2P), could take more than a year to put into place.

4. Ability to scale
Autonomous Mobile Robots have a simple implementation within a facility. They can be used in modular deployment to expand units as your company grows or changes. This means that you don't have to spend a lot upfront. Instead of investing in large quantities of Autonomous Mobile Robots they can be purchased just a few units and later increase your fleet. The modular deployment helps save capital and allows you to put money into other projects. Additionally, you are able to evaluate the effects Autonomous Mobile Robots impact your business and decide your next steps.

5. It is simple to move between facilities
There are businesses that may be reluctant to explore automation options, even though they realize that moving to a new facility in the near future is feasible. This is understandable. A new system will not be needed for two years, so why should you implement it? Autonomous Mobile Robots can help fill in the gap in these situations. Autonomous Mobile Robots are able to be deployed quickly and moved between locations. This allows automation to take place even for the short term. In addition to operations expecting a near-term move the Autonomous Mobile Robot can benefit companies setting up temporary holiday operations.
