Switzerland-headquartered materials handling solutions provider Interroll is putting the spotlight on its recently-launched LCP AMR Top Module at stand 640 of IntraLogisteX.
Speaking to Logistics Manager, Hilton Campbell, managing director at Interroll, described the LCP AMR Top Module as “a conveyor mounted on top of an autonomous mobile robot (AMR)”.
Compatible with two different brands of AMR, Interroll’s solution’s unique selling point, according to Campbell, is “how it communicates with the robot, but more importantly how it communicates with the conveyors that it feeds on or takes goods off”.
He explained: “The top module is mounted on top of the AMR and this navigates freely with a navigational system, which is obviously supplied by the robot [manufacturer].
“When it comes to the point of collection or delivery, we’ve developed some technology which allows our conveyor to dock in a very fast and safe way and once it’s docked there’s an infrared communication. With this, we can handle the signals to run, to stop and to confirm that it’s docked at the right location.”
Campbell says that the industry that this solution is best suited for is manufacturing logistics, “from original equipment manufacturers (OEM) to automotive companies where they are having a repetitive process, moving goods in a very safe and clean environment”, adding that the “scaleability and flexibility” of the solution will benefit companies in these markets, especially those with kaizen principles.
As a company that operates internationally, Campbell was pleased to see the number of international brands with a presence at the NEC for IntraLogisteX 2024 and is excited to continue sharing the benefits of Interroll’s LCP AMR Top Module with visitors today [20 March 2024].
