Imagine a busy production hall on a Tuesday morning. Our AGILOX AMR moves effortlessly between stations, delivering materials and picking up finished pallets. The flow is steady, there are no bottlenecks, and employees can focus on their core tasks.
It is this stable flow that makes a difference in an efficient production line. When processes run smoothly, all resources can be used where they create the most value.
Automated handling of empty pallets
An important part of this flow is the management of empty pallets. Here, the PALOMAT® pallet magazine plays a central role. The pallet magazine stacks and destacks pallets directly at floor level, while the AMR delivers and picks up exactly when needed.
By eliminating manual handling, unnecessary lifting and transportation of pallets are avoided, which both increase efficiency and improves the working environment.
Real-time communication
The collaboration between the AMR and the pallet magazine runs smoothly thanks to direct communication via IO signals. This means the AMR can independently detect when pallets need to be delivered or picked up, resulting in no stops, waiting times, or need for manual intervention.
The result is an automated process that maintains a constant pace and ensures pallets are always available when required.
Fast installation and full integration
As Tobias Beyer, Process Engineer at Baxter Internation, shared with PALOMAT®:
“It was an outstanding experience to see how easy and fast the installation could be carried out. We placed the PALOMAT® and connected it to the AGILOX IO Box in less than an hour, and during the next hour we adjusted the AGILOX workflows, and the unit was fully integrated and ready for operation.”
This experience highlights how simple it can be to implement the solution into an existing production without long downtimes or complex infrastructure changes.
Technology that frees time and resources
This combination of AMR and pallet magazine demonstrates how efficient pallet handling can be when technology and workflows work together. The solution not only creates a stable flow but also frees up time, reduces manual handling, and keeps productions running, without interruptions. When pallet handling is no longer a task demanding attention, employees can focus on what drives the business forward.
