Why AGV Will Be Replaced By AMR

In the AMR scene, the QR code on the ground is gone, the models are enriched, and the machines can also be coordinated. Each machine can realize the use of multiple functions, such as storing and transporting pallets. , Goods to people, goods to manipulators, man-machine coordination, etc.

AMR can also flexibly transform different functions such as goods-to-person and order-to-person according to business needs.

Why did AGV become AMR? Behind this is actually a variety of changes in the market.

First of all, in market changes, there are more and more types of goods, customer customization and order fragmentation are becoming more and more common, and the form of logistics business is becoming more and more abundant and uncertain.

The result of these uncertainties is that the functions, order structure, and business processes that the robots had preset when they were first put into production are likely to undergo new changes with the later customer’s business development.

This requires logistics equipment systems to be highly flexible, increasingly flexible, and able to quickly adapt to various needs.

Secondly, the requirements for distribution efficiency are getting higher and higher.

The original wholesale model and distribution model were based on a weekly basis, but under the e-commerce model, the delivery efficiency began to be required by the day, and the requirements for the community e-commerce front warehouse would even be calculated in hours and minutes.

This requires logistics information systems to become more and more intelligent, equipment systems to operate more and more efficiently, and cannot be shut down.

Finally, in addition, market competition is becoming increasingly fierce. Although labor is becoming more and more expensive, under the fierce competition, every logistics operator hopes that its operating costs will become lower and lower.

This requires logistics equipment to be highly flexible, more and more flexible, and able to adapt to a variety of different needs. In addition, it must be large-scale, and the degree of automation is getting higher and higher. The initial investment and later operation require extremely high cost performance.

In general, the changes in the market place higher requirements on the AGV system——

Robots are required to achieve rapid deployment and migration, ultra-large-scale scheduling, and efficient human-machine collaboration.

In order to respond to these three major needs of the market, AMR robots came into being.
