Efficient robotics solutions for industry & logistics

Logistics robots and mobile robots for intralogistics increase throughput, safety, and predictability. AMR transport robots, picking and replenishment robots, as well as cleaning robots for warehouses standardize transport, supply lines, ensure cleanliness, and document performance. Companies reduce empty travel, bottlenecks, and manual risks without needing to rebuild their infrastructure.

Throughput, Safety, and Predictability

Defined routes and priorities prevent traffic jams, empty runs, and ad-hoc paths. Safety scanners, emergency stops, and zone profiles mitigate hazardous points in mixed traffic. Fleet managers coordinate trips, capacity utilization, and charging status, display KPIs such as order lead time, schedule adherence, and area performance, and enable scaling from pilot to multi-shift operation according to the AMR principle.

Inbound Goods and Shipping

AMRs handle material transport between the receiving area, inspection station, and buffer. Warehouse robots close the gaps between gates, packing stations, and shipping lanes, transport stackers or dollies to consolidation zones, and secure ramp areas via restricted zones. The result is shorter paths, fewer standstills, and traceable handovers.

Picking and Replenishment (Milkrun)

Picking robots accompany picking teams as mobile handover points, hold KLT containers ergonomically, drive independently to the handover point based on fill level, and call up follow-up orders. For milkrun processes, AMRs supply shelves with pallets or KLTs, while zone and route planning define right-of-way for time-critical orders and relieve congestion on main axes.

Production Supply and Internal Transport

Industrial transport robots supply lines, collect finished goods, and connect storage, pre-assembly, and assembly areas. Autonomous mobile robots use existing paths, doors, and, if necessary, elevators/auto-doors. With trailers or tops like shelves, trays, or compartments, they form a flexible system for KLTs, Euroboxes, or special carriers. Examples such as the T300 or CarryBot stand for high payloads, multi-route navigation, and fleet control.

Inventory and Counting

Mobile platforms with camera or scanner modules take over counting runs, visual inspections, and photo documentation. Repeatable routes ensure constant perspectives and reliable comparisons over weeks and months, which noticeably reduces the pressure during end-of-year peaks.

Cleaning of Halls, Aisles, and Loading Zones

Industrial cleaning robots and warehouse floor cleaning robots keep main aisles, picking zones, and intermediate storage areas clean during defined windows. Scrubbing and sweeping systems like the Gausium Scrubber 75 or Beetle Pro ensure area coverage, while the CC1 and MT1 cover side areas or adjacent office spaces. Predictable hygiene, fewer slips, and documented runs increase operational safety.

Buying Advice and Selection Criteria

The starting point is payload, container dimensions, and topology: aisle widths, turning radii, intersections, inclines, and ramps. Zones for encounters with forklifts, buffers, and docking points define the traffic regime. For navigation, LiDAR/VSLAM, driving accuracy in mixed traffic, zone profiles for speed and approach, front and side safety scanners, emergency stops, and acoustic and optical signals are key. Also important is the restart behavior after blockages and behavior in narrow areas.

IT Integration with WMS/ERP

Value is created through data flows: orders from WMS or ERP, API-based status messages, receipts, and return-path logic. Elevator integration enables multi-floor routes; auto-doors accelerate passage through gates. The fleet manager prioritizes urgent orders, balances charging stops, and provides log files for audit and optimization.

Environment and Industrial Suitability

Dust, humidity, temperature fluctuations, and transitions such as concrete to grating require robust drives, appropriate IP protection, and sufficient ground clearance. For outdoor access to ramps, traction and weather resistance are important; during off-hours, quiet noise profiles are relevant for production and storage.

Operation, Charging/Exchange Concepts, and Service

For multi-shift operation, auto-docking, intermediate charging, and swappable batteries are crucial. Service SLAs, spare parts availability, and clear roles between shop floor and IT ensure availability. Documented cleaning and maintenance intervals for pads, brushes, wheels, and filters keep performance constant.

Overview and Comparison of Models

In AMR transport, platforms like the OrionStar CarryBot or PUDU T300 feature multi-route navigation, up to 300 kg payload, and variable tops. In industrial cleaning, the Gausium Scrubber 75, Beetle Pro, as well as PUDU MT1 and CC1 combine scrubbing, sweeping, and mopping depending on the zone. Key comparison factors include payload or area performance, sensor technology and navigation methods, integration with WMS/ERP and elevator/auto-doors, runtime and charging strategy, safety features, noise profile, and service packages.

ROI and Business Case

The business case is based on travel time and repetition rate. Transport benefits from minutes saved per trip multiplied by frequency and cost per minute, including reduced damage. Cleaning gains via area performance per hour and available time windows, while automated receipts reduce misallocations. KPIs such as order lead time, empty run rate, interventions per 100 trips, and area performance make progress measurable. With each additional AMR, the ROI improves as capacity utilization increases.

Operation and Rollout

A reliable rollout begins with a site survey and safety plan for paths, intersections, and zones. This is followed by a pilot cell that makes one line productive and reveals bottlenecks. Integration connects the WMS/ERP, elevator, and auto-door and reports status to control centers. Training covers start and stop, emergency stop, incident handling, daily checks, and log interpretation. Scaling expands the fleet, refines profiles per shift, establishes preventive maintenance, and cyclically reviews KPIs.

Financing: Buy, Rent, or Lease

Buying is suitable for long-term operation with stable routes and clear capacity utilization. Renting fits proof-of-concept, conversion, and peak phases. Leasing creates predictable OPEX and allows for technology refreshes. We provide TCO scenarios including hardware, service, wear and tear, training, and integration efforts so that the decision for industry & logistics is fact-based.
