Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs)
Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) represent the cutting edge of material handling technology, bringing unprecedented levels of efficiency, flexibility and safety to warehouses, distribution centres and manufacturing facilities across the UK.
At Central Convetoys, we offer comprehensive AMR solutions tailored to your specific operational requirements.
What Are Autonomous Mobile Robots?
AMRs are intelligent, self-navigating robots equipped with advanced sensors, cameras and sophisticated navigation systems. Unlike traditional Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) that follow fixed paths, AMRs utilise technologies such as LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging), computer vision and AI algorithms to:
-
Map and understand their environment autonomously
-
Navigate dynamically without requiring physical guides
-
Detect and avoid obstacles in real-time
-
Adapt to changing warehouse layouts and conditions
-
Integrate seamlessly with existing operations
This autonomous navigation capability makes AMRs exceptionally versatile and adaptable to diverse warehouse environments, from small distribution centres to large-scale logistics operations.
