AIUT & AFORMIC at MODEX 2024. Discover AMRs Smart Solutions for Flexible Manufacturing
AFORMIC, a leading provider of Autonomous Intralogistics Solutions, will open its showroom of cutting-edge autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) for flexible manufacturing and warehousing during the MODEX 2024.
As part of the AIUT Group, one of the largest European integrators of robotics and automation solutions, AFORMIC is implementing innovative intralogistics solutions in the North American market. By understanding the needs of smart factories to increase production flexibility and automate goods delivery, AFORMIC delivers a Smart Factory Fleet Management Package and Customized autonomous mobile robots (AMRs). The company will showcase its solution, including their latest NextGen AMR models, at Booth A9822 during Modex 2024.
“AFORMIC offers end-to-end solutions that include robotics, innovative technology, and software from a single source. We are one of the leading providers in the material handling automation industry in North America with one of the world's most comprehensive fleets of AMRs and intralogistics software suites,” said Tim Meyer, Vice President of AFORMIC.
Autonomous Robots and Innovation in Intralogistics
The AFORMIC’s smart robotics solution is a proven choice for real-time intralogistics management, by providing automation in material handling to reduce operational expenses and increase efficiency in manufacturing and warehouse processes. The solution includes an AI-powered integrated software management system called Qursor, as well as customized next-generation autonomous mobile robots F series. The innovative AFORMIC intralogistics platform provides comprehensive automation and control of internal transportation operations in industrial plants and warehouses.
“The automation of internal delivery processes is currently a major trend in intralogistics development. In this regard, the global market is being revolutionized by comprehensive systems based on autonomous mobile robots. It is worth emphasizing that the key to agile manufacturing lies in a deeply integrated intralogistics software suite with the factory environment. Therefore, the core of AFORMIC Intralogistics Solution is an AI-powered autonomous intralogistics system named Qursor,” says Tim Meyer, Vice President, AFORMIC.
Customizing AMRs unlocks new possibilities for production
Aformic's unique business strategy aims to perfectly tailor the solution to the individual needs of each company. Customization applies to both the software system and the mobile robots from the AFORMIC AMRs family, as well as other devices and equipment that are part of the vehicle's setup.
“Our robots are implemented using process simulation to test and optimize their behavior in virtual environments. AFORMIC’s AMRs move materials and products around a factory floor, adapting to changing production needs and minimizing the need for human intervention. The weight and size of goods transported by AMRs F series becomes less important, as we can adapt the vehicle to the specific products and equip the robot with additional accessories. So the autonomy of the robot itself also expands,” adds Tommie Watts, Vice President of Sales and Automation, AFORMIC.
As Marek Drewniak, R&D Section Manager in Automation Control Department at AIUT, observes, one of the key advantages of using AMRs is the increasing level of flexibility and autonomy in handling internal transport processes: “It's not just about automating point-to-point deliveries. For example, AFORMIC AMRs are implemented as product carriers and automate the flow of goods within the facility and warehouse. However, this type of AMR can also be an integral part of the production process, ensuring the transport of the manufactured product or interacting directly with automation and information systems. Such use of autonomous mobile robots allows the creation of flexible production scenarios. This improves both the manufacturing process and its handling”.
