ForwardX Robotics (Booth 1207) recently launched in the Americas what it claims is the world’s only computer vision-based AMR fleet, which has already been installed in logistics, manufacturing and retail facilities abroad.
The company is offering a free two-year warranty and a “Pay When You Achieve ROI” campaign for the turnkey solution, and guarantees 99.5% uptime in 24/7 operations. It uses deep learning and reinforcement learning algorithms to deliver enhanced localization, more accurate obstacle avoidance and more efficient path-planning in dynamic environments by integrating inputs from RGB, RGBD, LiDAR, radar, and ultrasonic sensors.
A centralized fleet management system manages robot and human tasks while seamlessly integrating with WMS/MES/ERP/PLC systems.
Nic Temple, VP of sales, Americas, said AI helps the robots “learn from mistakes while continuing to push customer operations forward.”
