New Ocado bot lifts pallets from floor

The Porter AMR automates inventory movement and navigates the warehouse without any infrastructure changes or heavy manual labor required. With a payload capacity of 1,500kg and built-in sensor systems to recognise pallets, Porter AMR picks and places open or closed pallets directly from the floor. Warehouses and distribution centres can use Porter to fully automate tasks such as cross-dock, putaway and inventory moves as well as collaborative tasks including case picking and replenishment.

Upscaling nearly a decade of automation technology from the company’s Chuck AMR offering, OIA’s patented system-directed software intelligently orchestrates each Porter unit, or a whole fleet of them, and identifies the optimal route for it to take while preventing bottlenecks.

The firm will also showcase Chuck AMRs and its high density OSRS system. Stand 8C77
