China will grant FlexQube’s patent for its distinctive Navigator autonomous cell robotic (AMR). This new patent pertains to the know-how of a small and non-load-bearing AMR that connects with motorized FlexQube carts by way of a sensible coupling, making a mixed ecosystem for materials transportation.
As well as, the corresponding patent may also be granted in Canada, and former patents concerning Navigator AMR have been granted within the U.S. and by the European Patent Workplace. Corresponding patent purposes are additionally pending in South Korea, Japan, Mexico, and India.
The FlexQube Navigator gained an RBR50 Innovation Award in 2022 for its novel design and its capacity to mate with and transfer a powered cart with a big payload.
On this manner, the corporate is defending its mental property, whereas leveraging the chance to increase its put in base. FlexQube’s modular development package permits prospects to simply design and rapidly assemble customized materials dealing with carts from an interchangeable part system. The Navigator offers an autonomous navigation choice to the options that prospects can design from.
“It’s gratifying that we’re additional strengthening our patent safety for our distinctive robotic system,” Per Augustsson, business product proprietor AMR, FlexQube. The patented know-how permits a secure and environment friendly answer for our prospects who wish to change handbook forklifts with automated materials dealing with for manufacturing traces. Our AMR, which is provided with a standardized interface, can couple with all kinds of motorized load carriers tailored to the fabric the shopper needs to move. This provides a novel flexibility as the identical AMR can be utilized for a lot of totally different purposes on the buyer.”
The corporate continues to promote primarily to the manufacturing business in Europe and North America. Through the second quarter, a profitable implementation was accomplished at a big business producer of heavy automobiles in Sweden, the place the AMR system delivers high-frequency and production-critical materials to the meeting line the place handbook forklifts have been beforehand used.
