OMRON's HD-1500 autonomous mobile robot for pallet-size loads

This is the HD-1500, OMRON's newest and strongest autonomous mobile robot. The HD-1500 can carry payloads of up to 1,500 kg, and can load and transport the heaviest of objects. The HD-1500 is ideal for applications that require moving pallet-size loads. Mobile robots in the production and warehouse environments help to reduce the workload of employees, take over routine tasks and comply with hygiene regulations, for example now during a pandemic. It’s designed to meet the industry’s latest requirements, and can interact with people to create a collaborative, safe working environment. In warehousing and manufacturing, the HD-1500 can make processes more efficient working safely side-by-side with humans, and reducing the risk of employee injury in dangerous situations. Take a look at it in action at our Proof of Concept area at our Automation Technology Centre for Autonomous Mobile Robots in Annecy, France. Read more:

OMRON FLOW Core - Cell Alignment Positioning System (CAPS)

-CAPS evaluates real-world features to effectively align robots for high accuracy drop-offs and pick-ups. -CAPS aligns our mobile robots with machinery at ±8mm position accuracy and ±1° rotation accuracy. -It can approach from any angle so that customers do not need to worry about floor layout, nor the shape of the load, and docking can be achieved from any direction. -Enables a smoother and quicker loading & unloading of material, contributing to a shorter cycle time. -CAPS allows an offset per robot, meaning the user can dial out the slight hardware differences of the top attachment in the fleet just by changing the parameters.

Mobile Robots - Dynamic Obstacle Tracking

Avoid collisions and employ safer passage in the warehouse. Allows for smoother motion around pedestrian traffic, forklifts, or any other moving vehicles. The tracking algorithm projects the path of moving objects in the same space as the robot to avoid collisions and traffic jams. If a person is walking in the path perpendicular to the robot, rather than trying to cross in front of the person’s path, a robot with Dynamic Obstacle Tracking will slow down and move behind the person.
