ABB Robotics is increasing its Autonomous Cell Robotics (AMR) portfolio with the launch of the Flexley Stack F712, creating a whole interoperable ecosystem throughout all main Visible SLAM AMR varieties.
Combining autonomous forklifts, tugs and movers on one platform, ABB Robotics permits prospects to automate a broader vary of material-handling and intralogistics processes.
Providing market-leading accuracy, the F712 is designed for demanding materials dealing with, end-of-line storage and warehouse operations throughout industries together with automotive manufacturing, serving to enhance effectivity, flexibility and scalability.
Marc Segura, president, ABB Robotics, says: “Throughout intralogistics operations, companies are being requested to course of better volumes in much less time, whereas working with more and more restricted sources.
“They’re below stress to maneuver items quicker and with better flexibility, whereas labour availability is changing into a vital constraint.
“As a part of our journey to extra autonomous and versatile robotics (AVRTM), now we have mixed superior imaginative and prescient, mobility and intelligence within the Flexley Stack F712 forklift AMR, finishing our scalable, AI-powered AMR portfolio.”
F712 is flexible, able to dealing with a number of load varieties and sizes – together with open and closed pallets, containers or racks- as much as 2,000 kg and reaching heights of 8.5 meters.
The Flexley Stack AMR F712 joins the Flexley Tug and Flexley Mover in ABB Robotics’ rising Visible SLAM AMR portfolio.
Functions embody intralogistics duties corresponding to warehouse storage and retrieval, in addition to line provide, end-of-line dealing with, body- and press-shop and drive-in and light-weight buffer within the automotive and industries sector.
Not like typical AMR forklifts in the marketplace, F712 makes use of Visible SLAM to map and navigate its atmosphere, eliminating the necessity for pre-installed infrastructure like markers or reflectors.
The AI-enabled Visible SLAM helps the autonomous selections required to function in advanced, dynamic warehouse operations with a market-leading positional accuracy of ±10 mm.
Along with AMR Studio, this shortens commissioning instances by as much as 20 % and creates a flexible and dependable system that may adapt immediately when a warehouse or manufacturing ground format adjustments.
Licensed to the most recent ISO and ANSI security requirements, Flexley Stack F712 can safely function at class-leading speeds of as much as 1.7 m/s whereas loaded.
F712 is absolutely built-in with AMR Studio and is VDA5050 appropriate, enabling seamless integration with ABB Robotics’ Visible SLAM AMRs and current methods inside a unified challenge. This makes it simple to handle advanced tasks and combine several types of cellular robots.
The no-code, drag-and-drop software program suite helps speedy setup, fleet coordination, site visitors administration and real-time visualization, permitting ABB Robotics’ tugs, movers and forklifts to function collectively in the identical format for scalable turnkey automation tasks.
