AUTONOMOUS MOBILE ROBOTICS

COMPANY Since 1986, AND&OR has been developing automation systems for the industry sector. Market demand and its constant innovation, made AND&OR the ideal supplier for custom made solutions in process automation. Autonomous vehicles rose as a sector request for automatic transport solutions in production plants. Nowadays, our wide range of AMR (Autonomous Mobile Robots) allows all industries automating their end of line and implementing industry 4.0. We strongly believe in a close collaboration with our customers during all phases of a project: design/engineering, manufacturing, start-up...

Autonomous Mobile Robot The Autonomous Mobile Vehicles, known as AMR, are automatic guided vehicles to handle and transport loads with no need of being manipulated by an operator, to its warehouse, directly bringing a productivity increase and a risk decrease. AND&OR offers a wide range of these autonomous vehicles, which have the route previously set, and thanks to their design and operational flexibility, can be easily integrated into existing production plants, with no need of machine movements or civil works. They can transport pallets, boxes, bottles, layers, etc. Operational solution...

SAFETY AND&OR vehicles are designed following current safety regulations, allowing them to work collaboratively with people and other manual equipment. The vehicles are equipped with: • Safety PLC • Safety scanner • Safety encoder • Emergency stop BATTERIES AND CHARGING SYSTEMS Best price/performance Suitable for areas where the vehicle is loaded and hydrogen emissions are not allowed (white rooms, explosive zones, nonventilated areas) Longer life, no maintenance, no memory effect and suitable for fast loading Optimal for complete loading and unloading cycles Optimal for short load cycles...

COMMUNICATIONS & ARCHITECTURE All AND&OR vehicles are equipped with Wi-Fi communication system. Their control and monitoring can be carried out from a central PC in the IT room or from a panel in the plant. To communicate with the customer’s machines, AND&OR teams implement different protocols such as : • Modbus • EthernetIP • S7 • OPC-UA It is possible to install pre-configured interface boxes (gateway), which will exchange digital signals with the existing plant machinery and send the corresponding information to the AGVs (Automatic Guided Vehicle)/ AMRs via Wi-Fi. In architectures where...

P SERIES INTELLIGENT PLATFORM AMR Our P series platform AMR combines omnidirectional or differential movement abilities with reduced height, providing high maneuverability in limited space areas. Equipped with the latest technologies, this model is easily configurable based on customer needs. It can integrate different loads handling systems. Model available in 1 or 2 positions. CHARACTERISTICS COLLABORATIVE: Safe and reliable interactions with operators and connected elements (end of lines, robotic cells, wrapping machines, etc.). VERSATILE: Easy adaptability to any industrial environment,...

F SERIES INTELLIGENT BIDIRECTIONAL FORKLIFT AMR Our F series stacker AMR is designed for palletized load handled by forks. This pallet handling system allows itself to have a great versatility when picking and delivering pallets in different positions: on the floor, on conveyor, on shelves. CHARACTERISTICS SAFE: Safety PLC and advanced configurations which ensures a completely safe automatic performance. ROBUST: Designed to work in industrial environments with high production demands. VERSATILE: Able to pick up and deliver loads at different stations heights and types. SMART: Equipped with...

R SERIES RETRACTABLE FORKLIFT AMR Our R series AMR (Autonomous Mobile Robotics) adjusts to most demanding logistics processes in terms of weights and heights. The equipment, with reduced height, allows to work between shelves and reaches up to 8.5 m. Equipped with numerous sensors and actuators, it allows to manage loads with total safety. CHARACTERISTICS SAFE: In addition to safe system for people, the equipment includes sensors to guarantee the loads are correctly handled in every situation. ROBUST: Developed to work in warehouses, being available 24/7. VERSATILE: Reduced dimensions to...

APPLICATIONS Each production plant, line or warehouse is different, for that reason, AND&OR provides intralogistics solutions with mobile robotics based on customers’ needs. These equipments allow to easily introduce changes in production lines or distribution design, low investment and operation costs, and to supply a fast payback and productivity improvement. Loading and unloading: Transfers made by motorized table, lift and stacker. In order to avoid slowing down or blocking up the process chain, AND&OR mobile robots execute loading and unloading tasks by an efficient and controlled...

PRACTICAL CASES Bottling plant Application areas From palletizing to wrapping From wrapping to warehouse From warehouse to shipping area From warehouse to production lines (lines supply) In bottling plants, workers accessibility to different production lines is important. Connecting each line with one same wrapper, using a P series AMR, a higher accessibility is achieved, and it generates work lanes allowing to pay a better attention to production lines. Suppressing driving forklifts in this work environment, where people and forklifts coexist, means an important improvement in the safety...

INJECTION PLANT Octabin/boxes formation, flow automation from injectors to palletizing area/warehouse. AMRs are the appropriate equipment for your intralogistics flows automation in injection plants (preform, caps, etc.). AND&OR provides complete plant automation, with the required equipment’s and secondary machines to complete the process efficiently and providing our customers with a complete solution. In the specific case of preform production, AND&OR offers the complete automation of octabin formation, its transport to injectors and following pick-up of these once they are filled with...
