The IntraMove series comprises three models for different transport requirements: The compact IntraMove AMR 600 transports loads of up to 600 kilograms, the IntraMove AMR 1500 is suitable as a pallet transporter for up to 1,500 kilograms, while the heavy-duty IntraMove AMR 3000 model with omnidirectional drive handles loads of up to 3,000 kilograms. All robots have fully integrated lifting mechanisms that transport goods gently and without damage.

"Our customers are increasingly looking for transport solutions that can handle heavier loads and adapt to dynamic, frequently changing conditions," says Thomas Balzarek, AMR Solution Manager at Swisslog. "The IntraMove AMRs are ideal for point-to-point pallet and carton transportation in industries such as food and beverage, fashion and consumer goods, as well as industrial applications. They offer fast implementation, flexible operation and easy customization of routes and delivery points."

Fleet control of AMR via VDA 5050 and artificial intelligence

The AMRs are connected to an AI-based fleet manager software via the standardized VDA 5050 communication interface, which ensures optimized route planning and order distribution. The software coordinates the robot fleet in real time, optimizes routes and automatically assigns transport orders based on priorities, robot availability and battery status.

External systems such as doors, elevators and variable obstacles communicate with the software via standard protocols (MQTT, ModBus, OPC UA). The AMRs also use SLAM navigation (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) with two laser scanners and AI algorithms for autonomous route calculation. This means that navigation also works in complex warehouse environments without fixed installations such as cables or marking tapes.

Efficient order processing thanks to SynQ interface

A direct connection between the fleet manager software and a modular warehouse management system (WCS/WMS) such as Swisslog's SynQ software enables seamless order processing. The solution is scalable: companies can flexibly adapt the number of AMRs to changing requirements and fluctuating volumes of goods without affecting ongoing warehouse operations.

Different top modules, such as platforms or roller conveyors, enable efficient product handling and flexibility during transportation. The IntraMove series can be implemented both as a subsystem for efficient point-to-point transportation of pallets and cartons and as a stand-alone picking solution.
