![]() Now, with the MiR1000 in the lineup, MiR is offering a complete lineup of AMRs to handle payloads from 100 kg to 1000 kg, with the right priced solution to meet a customer’s needs. The AMRs do this safely, and avoid humans and other vehicle traffic to move throughout the facility”. The AMRs can then transport loaded pallets over long distances across the facility. “We’re not trying to eliminate the fork truck from the facility”, said Ed Mullen, VP of Sales for North America, “rather, we’re letting the fork truck do what it does best in the staging and narrow aisle, multi-level warehousing areas of the facility. The primary use case for both the MiR500 and MiR1000 is long haul, heavy material transport throughout the facility. The MiR1000 is especially optimized for long haul, intra-facility, material transportįork truck operators stage pallets on the pallet frames and then call a MiR500 or MiR1000 for autonomous pickup of the loaded pallet for transport to another part of the facility. Specially designed MiR pallet lifters and frames ensure stable handling and transport. The MiR500 is handling pallets at most of these early customers. The MiR1000 follows the success of the MiR500, which has been deployed at multiple customers since its release in June 2018. The vehicle is expected to be deployed into material handling applications where the larger capacity is a requirement, including the transport of pallets with raw materials, unit loads or heavy finished goods. The vehicle has the exact dimensions as its lighter payload sibling, the MiR500, but it’s built with larger motors, a more robust gear train and higher capacity batteries. With a payload capacity of 1000 kg (2,679 lbs or 1 ton), the MiR1000 is the largest capacity, autonomous mobile robot in their product line. ![]() Today, from their booth at the Automate 2019 tradeshow, Mobile Industrial Robotics (MiR) announced the release of a new autonomous mobile robot (AMR): the MiR1000. ![]()
