What are the major advantages of Autonomous Mobile Robots?

1. Increased Flexibility
Because Autonomous Mobile Robots rely heavily on cameras and sensors onboard for operation, and not magnetic tape or wires as with AGCs and AGVs, they are a model of the flexibility, agility and automation. Autonomous Mobile Robots can develop their own efficient routes within a facility. Autonomous Mobile Robots avoid following established routes, and are therefore open to new routes. Autonomous Mobile Robots can also be used to complete new tasks faster than other automation technologies, which often require more work and time to change the programming.

2. Safety is a higher priority
Autonomous Mobile Robots come packed with sensors and cameras. The cameras help the Autonomous Mobile Robots interpret and understand their environment. Autonomous Mobile Robots can then travel efficiently within a building without colliding with objects, people, or infrastructure. But, the equipment used by humans (e.g. forklifts) don't have the same safety features and depend on input from humans. Autonomous Mobile Robots remove the possibility of human operators being tired or distracted. But this isn't a problem with Autonomous Mobile Robots. Autonomous Mobile Robots can be used for repetitive tasks, which can minimize the chance of human error and enhance safety in a workplace.

3. Rapid Implementation
Autonomous Mobile Robots can be set up within a business in just four to six weeks depending on how complex the task is. The most important aspect here is picking the software and warehouse execution software that the units need to be integrated with. Even with the latest technology, this process takes quite a long time. A goods-to person system (G2P) can take more than a year to be implemented.

4. Scalability
Since Autonomous Mobile Robots are relatively easy to set up in an organization, it's feasible to use a modular deployment system--starting with a few units and expanding as the size of your business increases and your requirements change. This will save you a significant initial expenditure. Instead of purchasing many Autonomous Mobile Robots at once it is possible to purchase smaller units and expand your fleet over time. This modular deployment provides capital to use for other projects, and also allows you to assess the impact Autonomous Mobile Robots affected your business and decide on the next actions.

5. It is easy to transfer between facilities
Certain businesses might hesitate to investigate automation options since they know that moving to a new facility will soon be possible. This is understandable. A new system will not be needed for two years, so why would you need to implement it? In such a scenario, Autonomous Mobile Robots can be used to bridge the gap in the period of transition. Because Autonomous Mobile Robots are relatively easy to set up and can be moved from one facility to another with relative ease, enabling automated processes even in the short term. Autonomous Mobile Robots can be used by firms to operate temporarily an operation during the holiday season and also for other operations that require a move in the near future.
