More than 70 percent of respondents plan to extend fleets within the next two years, most by three or more vehicles, according to a new global mobile robotics market survey.
Automation technology has come a long way. But what about the future of AGVs and AMRs?
The first AGVs in the 1950s ran on rails or were guided by wires. While advanced for the time, these AGVs were replaced in the 1970s by magnetic guidance, and surpassed in the 1990s by laser guidance. Natural navigation technology (such as ANT) disrupted the field in the early 2000s.
But what comes next?
A hybrid forklift seems to offer the functionality of both a manual forklift and its fully automatic equivalent.
ANT everywhere, a new product extension by the Swiss autonomous navigation leader, enables a new era of AGV & AMR operations by making outdoor vehicle missions just as robust and precise as those indoors.
China’s “Tiger economy” continues to roar, as Beijing pushes automation. One year into the government’s five-year plan to make the country a global leader in industrial automation, we take a closer look at two AGV case studies from China.
The upcoming online conference The Future of Electrification will feature more than 30 speakers and 20 sessions over two days.
The Swiss vehicle navigation leader has teamed up with the Stuttgart-based AGV consulting and integration experts to bring the benefits of ‘ANT driven’ AGV solutions to organizations across Germany.
Vehicle automation leader BlueBotics has partnered with MasterMover, the world’s leading manufacturer of electric tug and tow solutions, to provide best-in-class ANT navigation technologies for MasterMover’s range of Automated Guided Vehicles.
“ANT driven vehicles can be installed in days, not weeks.” That’s the claim on this website. But surely the process of installing AGVs, AMRs and automated forklifts driven by ANT navigation is more complex than that?
As the world finds a new equilibrium with the COVID-19 pandemic, trade shows are starting up again.
