520CMD01 The logistics on the modern production floor are complex, with increasingly personalized products, more diverse components, and many locations and distances. If you want to improve the flexibility and transparency of material transportation, you can’t do without the assistance of autonomous mobile robots. With ACTIVE Shuttle (AMR), Bosch Rexroth has set a new benchmark in the field of in-plant logistics. The new and upgraded product charges faster, lasts longer, and can transport up to 260 kg of cargo robustly, efficiently and fully automatically. Transparent control by the existing fleet management system via the ACTIVE Shuttle Management System (AMS) or the VDA 5050 provides overall freedom.

520CMD01 ACTIVE Shuttle can transport lean carts carrying 600x400mm or 400x300mm containers (KLT) in a highly flexible and safe manner. Thanks to robust and reliable laser navigation and 3D obstacle detection, ACTIVE Shuttle can move freely within the plant, automating the flow of materials and goods without having to adjust the plant’s existing infrastructure.

520CMD01 Users simply assign transport tasks to idle ACTIVE Shuttles via AMS or a third-party scheduling system, and they move to the designated destination and automatically perform pick-up and unloading tasks. This enables logistics between different sites in the value stream, reducing manual handling and enabling fully automated material transport.

520CMD01 The newly upgraded ACTIVE Shuttle is more efficient, thanks to the new battery and charging concept, the charge/run time has been greatly improved, while also meeting the highest battery performance rating, PLc.

In terms of safety, in addition to the laser scanner, the stereo camera also captures space in 3D, which means that objects protruding into the path can also be detected by ACTIVE Shuttle and safely avoid obstacles. The integrated touch screen display adds transparency and enables quick troubleshooting directly on the mobile robot.

520CMD01 The new generation of ACTIVE Shuttle brings more possibilities to internal logistics and improves the safety, efficiency and flexibility of autonomous transportation. At the heart of the system, the control software ACTIVE Shuttle Management System (AMS) is responsible for the central coordination of the entire ACTIVE Shuttle fleet. ACTIVE Shuttle’s open VDA 5050 interface allows standardized control of the entire fleet using compatible fleet management software, making it possible to mix different mobile robots.

520CMD01 ACTIVE Shuttle is CE compliant and is also suitable for ESD areas. It provides the technical basis for accurate positioning of space, awareness of the surrounding environment and accurate navigation, and is also very practical in everyday industrial applications. “Plug and play” ensures it is ready for immediate use, while easily integrating with existing processes and third-party systems and providing a quick return on investment.
