Johannes Fottner, chair in materials handling, material flow, logistics at the dept. of mechanical engineering at the Technical University of Munich, and Michael Ruchty, Project Manager LogiMAT Stuttgart, EUROEXPO Messe- und Kongress-GmbH.

An independent jury praised the outstanding increases in productivity and cost savings thanks to the autonomous mobile robot.

The ActiveShuttle automates and standardizes the flow of material and goods within intralogistics.
In the jury’s eyes, the ActiveShuttle meets key criteria, namely increased productivity, cost savings and the rationalization of logistics, in an outstanding manner. The robust autonomous mobile robot transports dollies with small load carriers with a total load of up to 260 kg through factories in a fully automated fashion. It takes care of cyclical transport tasks and the consumption-based supply of materials. The new touchscreen display which is integrated into the vehicle console makes the system even more efficient. After all, the operating personnel can now interact directly and intuitively with the mobile robot.

The AMR offers an extensive safety concept that was developed together with Deutsche Gesetzliche Unfallversicherung (DGUV) and meets Performance Level d requirements as specified in EN ISO 13849-1. In addition to the safety laser scanner, stereo cameras scan the room three-dimensionally and recognize objects protruding into the vehicle’s path.

The AMR is fully compatible with VDA 5050 and fits into mixed fleets. With the ActiveShuttle Management System (AMS), Bosch Rexroth also offers a comprehensive piece of software for fleet and job management. In addition to simple transport movements from the source to the sink, complex work sequences too can be created. For example, users can define reference trips or use advanced functions. When it comes to machine-to-machine communication, the ActiveShuttle can send signals to specific route points or only set off in response to a relevant signal.
