OTTO Motors works with AMT
In related OTTO Motors' news, the company also announced today that it has partnered with Applied Manufacturing Technologies (AMT) to installed the first robots at Rehrig Pacific Company.
“Together, AMT and OTTO Motors implemented a material handling workflow to transport Rehrig's plastic bins and totes. At the Florida facility, the totes move down the conveyor and are labeled with a unique barcode,” OTTO said in a statement.
“A FANUC robotic arm stacks the totes onto a pallet, and once the pallet is full, an OTTO 1500 with a lift attachment arrives at the front-of-line station,” the company added. “OTTO picks up the pallet and drives the totes to the end-of-line station where the pallet is stretch wrapped. The process continues as each pallet is completed at the front-of-line station.”
The company is at Automate in Detroit this week, showcasing its lineup of AMRs. Robots at the show include the OTTO 100, OTTO 600, OTTO 1500, and OTTO Lifter.
