AMRs 101: Practical Introduction to Autonomous Mobile Robots

MiR Webinar_May 2026_EMS

Where is internal transport quietly losing time through waiting, extra travel, and inconsistent replenishment?

Materials still move through most facilities the way they always have: on forklifts, tuggers or fixed routes, guided by whoever is available. It works, but it can also create waiting, inconsistent replenishment and extra pressure on teams that are already stretched thin. 

Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) are self-navigating mobile robots that move materials inside facilities without fixed routes. This session introduces AMRs in plain terms: what they are, how they differ from older automated transport, and where manufacturing and logistics teams are using them today. 

You'll walk through common first use cases, line-side delivery, pallet movement, cart transport, and replenishment, and leave with a practical way to spot where automation could remove friction in your own operation.

What you'll learn

By the end of the session, you'll have practical takeaways on:

  • Explain what an AMR is and how it differs from a forklift, conveyor or older automated guided vehicle (AGV) 

  • Recognize where AMRs are already used: line-side delivery, pallet movement, cart transport, replenishment 

  • Identify what a good first AMR use case usually looks like and what makes one harder to justify 

  • Ask the right questions before moving from interest to an actual project 

This session is for operations, logistics, warehouse and manufacturing teams starting to look at automation for internal transport. No AMR experience required.
