Conveyor solutions for new levels of flexibility

The Foundation of Adaptable Automation

MiR robots, such as the MiR250, are specifically designed to optimize internal logistics in dynamic and fast-moving environments. Their ability to navigate complex facilities and adapt to various tasks makes them an ideal solution for industries looking to streamline operations, reduce costs, and improve safety. What truly sets MiR robots apart is their flexibility—these robots aren’t limited to one specific task. With the ability to integrate with a variety of top modules, they transform into versatile automation solutions.

One such top module is Interroll’s LCP, which brings even more flexibility to MiR robots. Together, they offer a complete, plug-and-play solution that can significantly enhance internal logistics, making processes faster, safer, and more reliable. This collaboration highlights the importance of using adaptable, scalable systems to meet the demands of modern businesses.

Interroll’s LCP: Elevating Automation

The Light Conveyor Platform (LCP) is an innovative AMR top module designed by Interroll for MiR robots. This system allows MiR robots to autonomously pick up, transport, and deliver lightweight goods up to 50 kg. Its seamless integration with MiR robots eliminates the need for manual intervention, turning your fleet of AMRs into fully automated transport systems.

Using infrared sensors, the LCP ensures smooth, error-free communication between the robot and stationary conveyors, making it the ideal solution for industries such as manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution. This system helps automate repetitive, labor-intensive tasks like moving goods from production lines to shipping areas, improving overall efficiency.

A Real-Life Example: Automating Production Line Logistics

Imagine a large-scale electronics manufacturing facility facing challenges with manual transport between its production lines and packaging areas. The factory operates in shifts, and despite having a well-trained team, the process of moving goods from one area to another is time-consuming and prone to human error. Bottlenecks occur frequently during peak production hours, and skilled workers are diverted from higher-value tasks to handle internal transport. The need for a more efficient, automated solution is apparent.

By integrating MiR robots equipped with Interroll’s LCP, the facility completely transformed its logistics. Now, MiR robots autonomously navigate the factory floor, collecting finished products directly from the production line, aligning perfectly with stationary conveyors using infrared communication, and transporting goods to the packaging area—all without human intervention. Even in this busy, dynamic environment, the system adapts quickly to changes, ensuring that goods flow seamlessly through the facility, with robots automatically rerouting to avoid obstacles or adjusting for minor misalignments.

This shift to automation has not only streamlined the workflow but also freed up valuable personnel to focus on more strategic tasks, such as quality control and process optimization.

Why Flexibility Matters

The combination of MiR robots and Interroll’s LCP allows businesses to automate and optimize internal logistics with minimal downtime. The plug-and-play nature of the solution means it can be deployed quickly and scaled as your business grows. The modular design ensures that you can add more robots or conveyor stations without the need for extensive reconfigurations or complex integration processes.

By automating repetitive tasks, companies can focus their human resources on higher-value activities, driving greater productivity and efficiency across the board. Whether you’re operating in a manufacturing plant, a distribution center, or a warehousing facility, MiR robots with Interroll’s LCP offer the flexibility to keep your operations running smoothly and adapt to the ever-changing demands of modern industry.

Scaling for the Future

As businesses grow and production demands increase, scalability becomes crucial. MiR robots and Interroll’s LCP are designed to expand alongside your operation, allowing for easy addition of new robots or expansion of your conveyor system as your logistics needs evolve. This flexibility is key for companies looking to future-proof their operations, ensuring they remain competitive in a rapidly evolving market​​​.

By leveraging MiR’s scalable AMR solutions, companies are not just automating for today—they are investing in an automation infrastructure that can adapt to the needs of tomorrow.
