Tote handling
Optimised logistics processes are critical to production success. High levels of efficiency and flexibility can be achieved when using automation solutions for the intelligent planning and control of material flows. Mobile robots have a vital role to play in this process: they are able to remove totes independently from passive racks and conveyor systems, transport them, and then deposit them with precision at their destination.
The autonomous SOTO small load carrier robot is the only solution on the market that provides an optimal way of supplying items at different heights and rotations. SOTO operates seamlessly with existing Automated Guided Vehicle Systems (AGVS) and manual trucks, minimises the error rate of previously manual processes and ensures full transparency in terms of stock and tracking – even after conversion of production lines. Commissioning is also extremely user friendly: you can fully tailor it to your work environment.
Live storage racking, conveyor belt or tow train. SOTO is the perfect link between materials handling equipment and production supply, delivering the required materials right to the assembly line. The SOTO fleet plugs the gap between automated warehouses and production lines.
Integrated into your system landscape
Mobile robots from Jungheinrich can be used as a stand-alone system or as a networked system. In a stand-alone system, our trucks communicate with their peripherals via the mobile robots’ system (for example with high-speed doors or fire doors) and otherwise operate autonomously in your company. To fully map your end-to-end processes, we can also connect our networked system to an ERP system and thus integrate it into your IT landscape. This is made possible thanks to our award-winning Jungheinrich Logistics Interface.
If you already have experience with AGV or AMR in your company, we can also connect our mobile robots to corresponding systems via the standardised VDA 5050 interface.
Top performance – even in tight spaces
With their compact design, the Jungheinrich automated mobile robots for tote handling are efficient and reliable at completing routine tasks even when aisle widths are narrow. They are ideal for use in warehouses or within the supply and production areas of your company.
With the 360° safety built in, Jungheinrich mobile robots are suitable for mixed operation. The relevant warning and protective fields ensure controlled deceleration and safe stopping when there are obstacles on the route.
