Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs)

NEXT GENERATION FLEXIBILITY

PIA‘S SOLUTION FOR COMPONENT HANDLING

To produce e-mobility components, PIA has developed the concept of partially automated and flexibly linked assembly cells. These cells result in a future-proof system which - due to short-term product changes and a large variety of part types - is prepared for the integration of further units. The use of an autonomous mobile robot (piaAMR), which is optimally adapted to customer requirements and the system environment, rounds off PIA‘s portfolio and position as a complete solution provider. It was necessary to develop our own solution because the systems available on the market do not meet the complex requirements: They are mostly rigid logistics solutions with a low load capacity. In contrast, the piaAMR represents an advanced solution for component handling: The autonomous mobile robot as a mobile workpiece carrier or workstation. Areas of application are in the automotive industry as well as in production (component transport, material provision) or logistics in other industries.
