Quick Summary
Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) have quickly taken their place as a critical tool for warehouse and distribution center operations. But beyond moving loads from Point A to Point B, where these robotic technologies really shine is when an arm or two is added to an AMR. Couple those capabilities with artificial intelligence, and you have a high-tech mobile workhorse that can do a variety of repetitive and manually-taxing jobs with impressive results. Doug Schuchart, global intralogistics industry manager at Beckhoff, shares this AMR vision in a short video discussion with DC Velocity's Group Editorial Director David Maloney.
