On July 25, 2023, CeMAT AUSTRALIA, a transport logistics exhibition sponsored by the German Hannover Exhibition Company, was held in the Sydney Olympic Park Exhibition Hall. ForwardX Robotics, the pioneer and leader of the fourth generation of mobile robots (Visual AMR) and the only global provider of a full range of end-to-end visual AMR solutions for deployment on four continents, has unveiled its latest automation technology breakthrough: Flex 60-T, a cutting-edge AMR with advanced docking and traction systems. The latest addition to the Flex AMR family, the Flex 60-T takes cage trucks to the next level, revolutionizing the way materials are moved in warehouses and in a variety of business environments.
The Flex 60-T AMR is the result of a strategic partnership between ForwardX Robotics and its exclusive distribution partner in Oceania, Richmond Rolling Solutions. ForwardX Robotics offers an innovative AMR solution for better docking and towing with cage vehicles, which can be widely used in Australia and beyond to achieve higher efficiency and safety standards.
Cage cars are an important part of transporting large quantities of goods and equipment in warehousing and manufacturing Settings, as well as in distribution centers, retail, hospitals, supermarkets, hotel workplaces and food and beverage establishments. Under normal circumstances, the cage car needs to be pushed to the warehouse by manual, but at the same time, it will limit the production efficiency and cause certain security risks. Built for cage cars, the Flex 60-T AMR revolutionizes the handling process, thereby increasing efficiency and providing greater consideration for worker safety.
“ForwardX Robotics firmly believes that safety is of Paramount importance to every business, especially labor-intensive workplaces,” “The Flex 60-T AMR provides workers with a safer working environment while significantly reducing labor intensity, which in turn increases overall productivity,” said founder and CEO Zio.
The Flex 60-T AMR has A maximum traction of 300kg and is compatible with the Australian standard Z and A base coil cage. It has advanced multi-sensor fusion technology, visual SLAM navigation, 180° obstacle detection and obstacle avoidance functions, providing a highly safe and efficient solution. At the same time, the Flex 60-T AMR combines versatility and flexibility to help logistics and manufacturing achieve better workflows and lower operating costs.
At present, ForwardX Robotics has become a major player in the global AMR field, leading the trend in the field of artificial intelligence and mobile robot applications, providing advanced picking and handling solutions for logistics and manufacturing, achieving cost reduction and efficiency, and stable operations.
