Recently, the National Development and Reform Commission and other departments organized the National Energy Conservation Publicity Week in 2023, hoping to “actively respond to climate change and promote green and low-carbon development.” Since China clearly put forward the goal of “double carbon”, low-carbon development has increasingly become an issue of great strategic significance, and the industry has also responded and actively explored the way of low-carbon development. As a leader in the global Mobile robot market, Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR) has always adhered to the low-carbon principle in product development and design, enabling customers to upgrade automation, and its own green operations, and has contributed to the two-carbon industrial process in a multi-pronged approach.

MiR AMR has low energy consumption

The low energy consumption of the body of MiR’s Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) is mainly reflected in three aspects, namely, high charging efficiency, high charge-discharge ratio, and low operating consumption.

First of all, the charging efficiency of MiR AMR is as high as 85%, which means that for every 1 KWH of electricity consumed for charging, 0.85 KWH of electricity can be effectively charged to the car battery.

Secondly, the charge/discharge ratio of MiR AMR can reach 1:16, which is designed according to the industry’s optimal charge/discharge ratio standard.

A high charge/discharge ratio means that the same battery capacity can run longer. On average, the MiR AMR can run for more than 10 hours on a full battery charge, and some models can run for up to 13 hours. Taking the MiR250 with a 250 kg load as an example, for every 10 minutes of charging, the MiR250 can run for 2 hours and 40 minutes at a larger payload.

In addition, the MiR AMR’s energy consumption for eight hours of operation averaged 1.73 KWH, or 1.73 degrees. If you use the scene in daily life to compare, the power consumption of 1.5 pieces of air conditioning common in the family for 1 hour has been about 1.5 degrees.

Safe and reliable, highly intelligent, enabling customers to save energy and reduce emissions

MiR AMR can also navigate autonomously, safely avoid obstacles in crowded areas and dynamic environments, and can plan and adjust routes in real time to flexibly respond to site changes and task changes, and stably shuttle between different production lines, units, warehouses, and floors. The safe, reliable and highly intelligent features mean that MiR AMR is able to work autonomously in the “black light factory”, helping customers increase their level of automation, which reduces the need for manpower while increasing efficiency, thus reducing energy consumption for lighting, air conditioning and other equipment. At the same time, automated means not only reduce the energy consumption of equipment, but also help employees free up from non-technical tasks, so that they can focus on more valuable tasks, and not “internal consumption” of their energy in tedious tasks.

Textile company Florisa, for example, has deployed five Mir1000s, dramatically improving factory productivity and safety, as well as solving storage challenges. Previously, the task of transporting 90 tons of fabric to the production site was done daily by manually driven forklifts. With the deployment of MiR AMR, up to 200 tons can be transported in a single day, increasing transport capacity by 122%.
