SPOTLIGHT

> Palion Lift CR1: The new AMR from Seegrid can move loads of up to 4,000 pounds, making it suitable for payloads that range from empty pallets to heavy manufacturing components. With 15 feet of effective lift height, the CR1 handles high-density storage or stacks of multiple pallets and payloads. Leveraging Seegrid’s navigation technology and safety sensors, the CR1 operates throughout dynamic environments, navigating aisles and managing buffer zones.

> Straddle AGV: Straddle AGVs from Dematic are ideal for transporting materials between production areas and warehouses, repetitive pallet movements, and product transfers from end-of-line and point-to- point warehouse routes. They have support legs that straddle loads with various fork designs and a slim body that provides a tight turning radius.

> Vector AMR: The autonomous mobile robot from Locus Robotics supports a variety of material moves, including case- and each-picking or putaway, parts-to-line, dunnage, and point-to-point shelf/rack moves. Vector’s omnidirectional design makes it nimble in tight spaces, while carrying up to 600 pounds on fixed shelves (pictured) or by integrating with standard detachable carts. Vector is currently working alongside other Locus AMRs and human workers at sites around the world.

> Chuck AMR: With large, modular, and multi-level workspaces, Chuck is a configurable AMR available through Ocado Intelligent Automation. Used in more than 100 facilities worldwide, Chuck works collaboratively with associates to expedite daily warehouse tasks such as putaway, picking, sortation, and returns.
