KUKA has introduced an innovative solution to address the challenges faced by companies in planning autonomous mobile robot (AMR) fleets. The new AMR Fleet Calculator aims to identify potential pitfalls in fleet management during the planning phase rather than the operational phase.
For many manufacturers, what appears to be a simple transport task can involve complex variables such as fluctuating cycle times, expanding buffers, and variable distances under different loads. These factors, if not planned for accurately, can hinder even the best AMRs from performing optimally.
The AMR Fleet Calculator provides a reliable initial estimate of the number of vehicles required for a specific process, along with the category that best suits the task. This strategic tool allows manufacturers to test assumptions about mobile automation early and tailor a deployment plan that aligns with real shop floor conditions.
KUKA’s commitment to enhancing AMR deployment processes is evident with this new offering, which is available non-binding through their website. It underscores their dedication to supporting manufacturing businesses in integrating cutting-edge mobile automation technology.
Founded in Germany, KUKA is a leading manufacturer of industrial robots and solutions for factory automation. The company’s continued innovation reflects its significant role in advancing manufacturing and automation industries globally.
