Magazino to present robot at LogiMAT

THE ROBOT perceives its environment and makes decisions itsel. The environment is modelled by the Environment Editor. This makes it flexible, so changes can also be made by the user. The Magazino Fleet Manager or optionally a VDA5050 Fleet Manager help coordinate multiple robots when they are used together.

SOTO combines process steps in a single, fully autonomous solution: the pickup of KLTs (small load carriers) of different sizes, the autonomous transport of several KLTs, and the delivery directly to flow racks at different heights. The collection of empties and rotation of KLTs by 90° to 180° are also part of the new robot's feature set.

Computer vision and numerous sensors enable the robot to understand the environment and navigate freely – even in a dynamic environment where people, industrial trucks and other autonomous vehicles are constantly moving. The "Environment Editor" software tool is used to model the environment during initial commissioning or subsequent modifications. Also, all transfer stations that can be operated by SOTO are mapped in a user-friendly way in the 3rd dimension. Furthermore, rules such as restricted areas, parking positions or one-way streets can be defined in the tool. Changes, such as moving a shelf or temporarily blocking an area, can be made  with a mouse click.

For integration into customer processes, SOTO requires digital transport orders. These can be controlled via the WMS, triggered directly from sensor data on the shelf, or created by employee scans. Based on this, SOTO dynamically calculates the optimal route for the set transport tasks and then executes them accordingly. The respective status of the individual transport orders is reported back.

The SOTO robot is in use at MAN Truck & Bus SE, Miele & Cie. KG, ZF Friedrichshafen and VEGA Grieshaber. Magazino will also showcase its pick robot TORU. Hall 6, Booth 6C15
