Jay Judkowitz, Otto Motor’s vice president of product, demonstrates their newest autonomous mobile robot, OTTO 600
At a press conference on Tuesday, OTTO Motors (Booth N7537) unveiled its newest autonomous mobile robot (AMR), OTTO 600. OTTO 600 unlocks important new workflows with its ability to move pallets, carts and other payloads up to 600 kg (1,322 pounds). With an all-metal construction and IP54 rating, OTTO 600 is built to work in the most demanding of factory environments.
“In 2015, OTTO 1500 defined the heavy-class AMR category. In 2017, OTTO 100 quickly became responsible for the industry’s largest AMR installations. In 2022, we launched OTTO Lifter, the world’s first truly autonomous forklift. Today, we’re proud to announce OTTO 600, a mid-range AMR offering the perfect balance of strength and agility,” said Matt Rendall, CEO and co-founder of OTTO Motors. “Powered by our industry-leading autonomous software, OTTO now offers an unmatched material handling portfolio.”
ProMat attendees are invited to see how OTTO’s new robot works in person. Key features include: maneuverable in tight spaces, durable build for demanding environments, fast and safe around people and objects, and versatile for different jobs.
Those in attendance can also experience OTTO’s latest software release, 2.28, which delivers faster and safer traffic movement and a new facility configuration interface for quicker workflow set-up. This marks the sixth software release in the last three years.
ProMat 2023 was held March 20-23 at Chicago’s McCormick Place. The tradeshow showcases the latest manufacturing, distribution and supply chain solutions in the materials handling and logistics industry. Modern’s complete coverage of the show.
