IKEA Jarosty center gets AMR: MiR500 deployed by FM Logistics - Actu IA
On January 6, Mobile Industrial Robots announced the deployment of an autonomous mobile robot (AMR) at the IKEA Jarosty center, operated by FM logistic, a French logistics services specialist. With the MiR500, a heavy object and pallet transporter, this warehouse is equipped with technology that can be freely configured and used in daily operations, allowing employees to focus on more complex and higher value-added tasks. AGVs are Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGVs) that follow a path set by a wire guidance system. A wire integrated into the floor of the warehouse emits a magnetic field that is picked up by the machine and allows it to follow a defined path without any obstacles. Thanks to AI and its lasers, the ARM can navigate in an environment with operators and material handling equipment, transport, it bypasses and avoids obstacles, a great advantage over AVGs which can detect obstacles in front of them, but are not able to bypass them and stop until the obstacle is removed.
