Experts in industrial processes, connectivity, and customer support
We supply one of Industry 4.0’s key technologies by designing, manufacturing, installing, and maintaining connected products. We offer connectivity and integration services with users, predictive maintenance, and performance analysis with in-depth knowledge of plant performance, making multi-site comparisons, analyzing applications based on shifts...
Our mobile robots are not only the company's transportation system, moving goods from one place to another, but they are also its “nervous system” due to the information they transmit, collect, and move. All our mobile robots have an on-board PC and several sensors – they are like a walking loT chip, constantly collecting information.
Autonomous mobile robots are collaborative robots that move safely within industrial environments, coexisting with humans and manual trucks. At ABB Robotics, people come first, and so we ensure that all our products meet the strictest safety regulations.
ABB’s AMRs comply with ISO 3691-4
Industrial trucks - Safety requirements and verification. Part 4: Driverless industrial trucks and their systems.
Precise, reliable, and flexible navigation systems
Our different technologies can be used for vehicle location and navigation throughout the facility’s layout.
Magnetic navigation
The AMR reads the magnetic tape placed on the floor by means of a magnetic antenna.
Optical navigation
The AMR reads the painted lines which mark the routes by means of an onboard camera.
Laser navigation
Reflectors installed at strategic locations within the plant ensure that, wherever the AMR is on the plant floor, it can detect three reflections of the laser beam that its navigation module emits, allowing the AMR to determine its position with pinpoint accuracy.
QR navigation
The AMR reads the QR codes which are laid out on the floor as a matrix by means of its on-board camera in order to identify both its location and the instructions it needs to follow.
Natural navigation
The system scans the environment to create virtual maps and routes.
Dual navigation
A combination of different navigation systems, switching from one mode to the other depending on the AMRs position on the plant floor.
Our full range of energy systems
Providing an efficient charging strategy and powerful batteries to ensure the autonomy our AMRs need to operate.
Lead-acid
Best price/performance ratio.
Li-Ion
High durability, free maintenance, no memory effect, suitable for fast charges
Manual battery interchange
The AMR moves to the battery exchange position when it detects a level of charge below the programmed limit, and the operator carries out the exchange.
Automatic battery interchange
The AMR moves to the automatic battery exchange position when it detects a level of charge below the programmed limit and the exchange is performed automatically.
Online charging (wired/wireless)
The AMR automatically connects to a charger during periods of inactivity.
Move your AMRs at the pace of your facility with our software solutions
ABB’s AMR software systems allow us to connect our vehicle fleets to your systems and ensure a seamless integration between our vehicles and your plant.
Our AMR software system is divided into different modules, which are each responsible for different tasks. Our Fleet Management System (FMS) is responsible for the connection with your enterprise management system and managing the orders to be carried out by our AMRs in the most efficient way. It also manages traffic rules, priorities and the interaction with all plant elements, ensuring a smooth workflow and maximum performance of our system. Additionally, our traceability manager keeps track of all events, anomalies, orders and signals to enable you to make informed decisions about the AMR system.
AMR Fleet Manager: Responsible for collecting all orders and translating them into movements that the AMRs must perform.
Live web-based visualization of the AMR system. Together with events, anomalies, orders and signals, it allows customers to have full control of what is happening on the shop floor. With this data, the performance of the system can be monitored and any deviations can be quickly detected.
