Compact with smart load transfer

According to the company, its equally simple load handling enables the creation of cost-effective and low-maintenance intralogistics solutions, particularly for handling small parts. Specially designed for use in industrial production and intralogistics processes, Amy is designed for the driverless transportation of small loads. Amy can transport these in the form of standardized small load carriers or in several smaller containers from or to manual workstations and exchange them automatically with conveyor systems or passive transfer stations available from DS Automotion as a supplement via a dynamic load handling device.

Fast, flexible and secure

DS Automotion's smallest vehicle in the field of mobile robotics is designed to impress with its very simple operating options and high level of flexibility. The modular on-board electronics developed in-house and smart control software enable the vehicle to be put into operation quickly using the plug-and-play method, both individually and in a swarm. This means Amy can take over transports immediately.

Thanks to its differential drive, Amy can turn when stationary and drive at speeds of up to 1.8 m/s in both directions using laser scanners at the front and rear with 360° all-round visibility. The AMR navigates exclusively based on contours. Two TOF cameras prevent collisions with overhead objects such as table tops.

Plannable autonomy and simple integration

According to the manufacturer, the predictable autonomy gives Amy a new level of efficiency. The AMR can either drive completely autonomously or follow virtual lane guidance and, if desired by the operator, avoid unexpected obstacles. In addition, like all current DS Automotion vehicles, Amy is equipped with the VDA 5050 interface and can process files with the Layout Interchange Format (LIF). This means that Amy can be operated under any fleet management system, and under the fleet manager Navios from DS Automotion also in mixed operation with any other vehicles from this manufacturer. According to the company, this makes Amy particularly suitable as a cost-effective addition to existing systems.
