Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR) offers its MiR500 autonomous mobile robot (AMR). The robot has a lifting capacity of 1,102 lbs. and can automatically collect, transport and deliver pallets with speeds of nearly 4.5 mph. "The MiR500 joins the MiR100 and MiR200 to form a complete fleet of flexible and easy-to-program MiR robots for both heavy and light transport that can optimize logistics throughout the entire production chain, from the warehouse to the delivery of goods," said a company spokesperson.
"The MiR500 was developed to meet the needs of customers who have used our other robots and now see huge potential in the automation of the internal transport of heavy items and Euro-pallets," said Thomas Visti, CEO of MiR. With MiR500, we are setting new standards for how companies can use autonomous mobile robots."
"The MiR500 incorporates the same innovative safety features as the rest of the MiR product line, allowing it to navigate safely around people and obstacles with all of the stringent safety standards required for TÜV certification," said the spokesperson. "Using MiR advanced technology and sophisticated software, the MiR500 can recognize obstacles in a 360° radius, allowing the robot to navigate autonomously via an efficient route to its destination - even in dynamic environments where people and vehicles are moving."
The user interface matches that used in the MiR100 and MiR200, which is used for production processes in multinational companies such as Airbus, Flex, Honeywell, Hitachi and Danone. The difference is the MiR500's size, lifting capacity and areas of application.
"MiR500 is an extremely robust robot, so it is perfect in industrial environments," Visti said. "We have also incorporated the principles from the MiR100 and MiR200, where flexibility and user-friendliness are key attributes. This means that the MiR500 can be programmed without prior experience. It is also simple to develop and replace top modules such as pallet lifters, conveyor belts and robot arms, so the robot can be used for different transport purposes."
The MiR500 is the same size as a standard Euro-pallet (47.2" x 31.5" x 5.7"), and MiR expects that most MiR500s will be used to transport pallets in manufacturing floors and warehouses. "Specially designed MiR pallet lifters and frames allow stable handling and transport. The high speed of the MiR500 streamlines pallet transport in all types of companies and frees up employees," said the spokesperson.
