Tote handling
Optimised logistics processes are critical to production success. High levels of efficiency and flexibility can be achieved when using automation solutions for the intelligent planning and control of material flows. Mobile robots have a vital role to play in this process: they are able to remove totes independently from passive racks and conveyor systems, transport them, and then deposit them with precision at their destination.
The autonomous SOTO small load carrier robot is the only solution on the market that provides an optimal way of supplying items at different heights and rotations. SOTO operates seamlessly with existing Automated Guided Vehicle Systems (AGVS) and manual trucks, minimises the error rate of previously manual processes and ensures full transparency in terms of stock and tracking – even after conversion of production lines. Commissioning is also extremely user friendly: you can fully tailor it to your work environment.
Live storage racking, conveyor belt or tow train… SOTO is the perfect link between materials handling equipment and production supply, delivering the required materials right to the assembly line. The SOTO fleet plugs the gap between automated warehouses and production lines.
Integrated into your system landscape
Jungheinrich mobile robots (AGV / AMR) can be used as a stand-alone system or integrated into your new or existing IT structure. The standardised VDA 5050 interface provides a simple and flexible way to incorporate the trucks into your control system. With it being so easy to add new trucks, your infrastructure can constantly keep up with your growing needs.
With their integrated 360° safety sensor system and obstacle detection by means of 3D cameras, Jungheinrich mobile robots are suitable for mixed operation. Warning and protective fields ensure controlled deceleration and safe operation alongside humans. Intelligent perception makes it possible to move around obstacles. This ensures a continuous supply of materials in any environment.
