What are the major advantages of Autonomous Mobile Robot?

1. Flexibility - Increased
Since Autonomous Mobile Robots rely heavily on onboard sensors and cameras for operation, and not magnetic tape or wires like AGCs and AGVs--they are an example of flexible, agile automation. Instead of following pre-defined pathways, Autonomous Mobile Robots are able to generate their own effective pathways that take them from Point A to Point B within a facility, allowing to overcome obstacles. Autonomous Mobile Robots are also able to change to complete new tasks quickly, unlike other automation systems that require more effort and time to program.

2. Safety is a higher priority
Autonomous Mobile Robots are sucked to the gills with sensors and cameras. The sensors and cameras allow the Autonomous Mobile Robot to read and understand its surroundings. This allows it to move within a facility with minimal disturbance from other people, infrastructure and even the product. Contrary to this, equipment operated by human operators like forklifts aren't equipped with as many built-in safety mechanisms and ultimately rely on the input of humans. Autonomous Mobile Robots reduce the chance that human operators are exhausted or distracted. But this isn't a problem when using Autonomous Mobile Robots. Employing Autonomous Mobile Robots to perform tasks that can be easily repeated, therefore, allows operations to eliminate the risk of human error, and dramatically improve the overall safety of a facility.

3. Quick Implementation
Autonomous Mobile Robots can realistically be deployed during an operation within about four to six weeks dependent on the particulars of an operation. This is especially true if the device will need to connect with warehouse execution and picking software. Even for the most advanced technology, this process takes an incredible amount of time. A goods-to-person system (G2P) could take a full year to implement.

4. Ability to grow
Autonomous Mobile Robots can be easily installed in the facility. You can follow modular deployment to add units as your company grows or evolves. This lets you reduce the cost of an initial investment since instead of purchasing a large amount of Autonomous Mobile Robots in one go the best option is to start with two or three units and add to your fleet in the course of time. You can reduce capital costs by deploying modularly, so you can work on other projects while you analyze the impact of Autonomous Mobile Robots and then decide on the future steps.

5. Facilities are simple to move between
Some businesses may be reluctant to look into automated options because they are aware that the move to a new location will soon be possible. This makes sense. If the new facility is completed then the existing system will need to be taken down in the next two years. Autonomous Mobile Robots can to bridge the gap between these two scenarios. Because Autonomous Mobile Robots are relatively easy to deploy and deploy, they can be moved between facilities in a relatively simple manner, allowing automation even in the short-term. Autonomous Mobile Robots can be used by businesses to temporarily run an operation during the holiday season or for operations that require moving within the next few years.
