What level of pickup precision is achievable with ANT natural feature navigation? This quick guide explains exactly how pallet detection (and the detection of other objects) works, courtesy of ANT trackers.
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.
“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.
Why choose feature matching Autonomous Navigation Technology (ANT) for your next autonomous vehicle? Here are five key reasons why partnering with BlueBotics could be the right choice.
Every day, the team at Viessmann Group’s sheet metal production site in Germany moves 1,000 pallets of semi-finished products through the 20,000 square meter facility. This job is now made easier by a new SEP Logistik/BlueBotics forklift tracking system. This guides drivers to exactly the right pallet, at exactly the right time, and has reduced the number of forklifts needed per shift by 20%.
If you are developing or upgrading an automated guided vehicle (AGV) or mobile robot, your company’s choice of autonomous navigation technology will be crucial. Here are 17 questions to ask any navigation supplier to ensure you make the right choice for your business. Download the checklist (PDF).
Vehicle automation projects succeed or fail on the strength of their navigation technology. That’s why robust and flexible natural navigation technologies are a popular choice for companies automating industrial vehicles.
