As an Omron Solution Partner, Staveb Automation will increasingly focus on the integration of AMRs within customer projects in the future. The focus is particularly on the handling and transport of individual goods. Staveb is thus responding to the increasing demand for unmanned transport solutions in industry.

According to an analysis by Visual Capitalist from May 2020, 55% of the companies surveyed want to invest in warehouse automation. 31% of the companies want to implement these investments in the next one to three years. Especially in online retail, companies are working more and more efficiently and cost-optimized due to the increased use of fully automated intralogistics. This also applies to the dynamic transport of individual goods of various dimensions, says Philipp A. Walden, founder and managing director of Staveb Automation AG: “For us, driverless transport systems are a crucial component of efficient, reliable and future-oriented industrial production. The use of such systems in the industrial sector is constantly increasing. With Omron as a partner, we have one of the world’s leading companies in this field, which also has the right systems in its portfolio for transporting individual loads.” Staveb Automation has been involved in industrial automation since it was founded in 1990 and, as an Omron Solution Partner, is deeply rooted in the integration of AMRs, robots and cobots into existing production facilities.

Adjustments to the logistics process require massive structural adjustments when using conventional AGVs and result in high downtimes. When using forklifts, a company needs additional resources and employees. AMR systems and processes, on the other hand, can be adapted flexibly and in a short time.
