What are the main benefits of Autonomous Mobile Robot?

1. More Flexibility
Because Autonomous Mobile Robots rely largely on onboard sensors and cameras to function--not magnetic tape or wires as with AGCs and AGVs, they are a model of the flexibility, agility and automation. Autonomous Mobile Robots have the ability to develop their own efficient routes within a facility. Autonomous Mobile Robots avoid following established routes and can therefore be flexible in the design of their routes. Autonomous Mobile Robots are also able to accomplish new tasks more quickly than other automation techniques, which often take longer and more effort to modify.

2. Safety Increased
Autonomous Mobile Robots are packed full of sensors and cameras. These cameras let Autonomous Mobile Robots interpret and understand their surroundings. Autonomous Mobile Robots can then move effectively within a facility without crashing into products, people or even infrastructure. However, machines operated by humans (e.g. forklifts) don't have as many safety measures and depend on human input. Autonomous Mobile Robots eliminate the risk of human operators being exhausted or distracted, resulting in an accident. Autonomous Mobile Robots can be used for repetitive tasks that lower the risk of human error and enhance safety in a workplace.

3. Rapid Implementation
Autonomous Mobile Robots can realistically be deployed during an operation within four to six weeks, according to the requirements of the operation. This is especially true if the device is required to interface with the software for warehouse execution and picking. Even on the high end of the spectrum it's a short amount of time, especially when compared against other methods. As an example of this, a goods to individual (G2P) system could take up to one year to implement.

4. Ability to Scale
Autonomous Mobile Robots have a simple implementation within an organization. You can follow modular deployment to expand units as your business grows or changes. This means you don't have to make a massive initial investment. Instead of buying an entire set of Autonomous Mobile Robots at once, you can purchase fewer units and increase the amount of Autonomous Mobile Robots you own over time. Modular deployments save money and allows you to invest in other initiatives. Additionally, you are able to evaluate the impact Autonomous Mobile Robots can have on your business and determine the next steps.

5. It is easy to transfer between facilities
Some businesses may be reluctant to look into automated options because they are aware that moving to a new facility could soon be possible. This reasoning makes sense. Why should you build a new system when it can be eliminated in the two years after the new facility is constructed? Autonomous Mobile Robots can help solve this problem in these scenarios. Autonomous Mobile Robots are simple to use and can be quickly moved from one location to the next. This allows for automation for the short term. This can be an advantage for companies planning to establish temporary holidays.
