Outdoor-capable autonomous mobile robot (AMR) for transportation.

We have introduced two AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) at Japan Fine Steel Co., Ltd., a wire manufacturer. Japan Fine Steel Co., Ltd. holds a top share both domestically and internationally in the production of special wires essential for semiconductor processing. In this instance, our group's AGVs will be utilized for transporting such wires and bobbins. ■ AGV Specifications First Unit: Conveyor-mounted AGV (Model: V1500-HCV) Second Unit: Standard AGV (Model: V1000-H) <Main Specifications> - Load capacity: 1000 kg - Operating environment: Indoor, with checker plate - Guidance method: Hybrid guidance using magnetic and laser - Options: Signal interfacing with existing conveyors, pallet magazines, and automated warehouses Although there were many checker plates present in the facility, we determined that our group's AGVs, known for their high mobility, could operate effectively. We brought the AGVs to the actual site and conducted a demonstration. We were able to showcase their "strong performance on rough terrain" feature, which led to their adoption.

In outdoor transportation, autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) that do not require magnetic installation have been developed. Until now, we have only dealt with automated guided vehicles (AGVs), but when conducting outdoor transportation with AGVs, magnetic bar installation work is necessary, which has led a certain number of customers to abandon the introduction due to this requirement. Therefore, we have developed an outdoor transportation robot (AMR) that maintains the strengths of the TKS group's AGVs in handling rough terrain (such as bumps, slopes, ditches, and grates) while eliminating the need for magnetic bar installation, making it easier to introduce. Since design, manufacturing, and control are all carried out in-house, we also offer various customizations tailored to the specific applications of our customers. If you are interested, please contact TKS.
