Glossar

An Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) is an autonomous transport vehicle that independently perceives its surroundings and navigates without fixed routes. It performs transport tasks within production, warehouse, and logistics areas and dynamically adapts its route to the current environment.

AMRs use sensors, cameras, laser scanners, and intelligent navigation systems to detect obstacles and safely navigate around them. They communicate with warehouse management, material flow, and control systems, enabling flexible transport processes in dynamic environments. Through their autonomous navigation, they increase efficiency, scalability, and process reliability in intralogistics.

Practical example:

In the goods receiving area, an AMR autonomously transports pallets to the designated storage area and receives its transport orders directly from the warehouse management system.
