June 23, 2020 — AutoGuide Mobile Robots announced the virtual opening of a test facility in Lawrence, Massachusetts, that will enable potential customers to see a range of modular, high-payload autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) operating in a live environment. Companies considering AMRs for their manufacturing, warehouse or other e-commerce-related distribution applications can virtually visit the test facility now—with the facility opening for onsite visits following Massachusetts’ phased re-opening guidelines — to see how the AMRs would work in their own facilities.
Enabling the benefits associated with the Lawrence Test Center becomes even more critical as AutoGuide continues to expand its product portfolio into new and diverse markets. For instance, as e-commerce continues to grow, the Lawrence Test Center will play an integral role in delivering zone and each picking product lines to customers.
AutoGuide’s AMRs use a modular and flexible design, which means companies don’t need to purchase completely different systems for different applications. At the test center, in addition to trying out different robots, including its Max-N15 and Max-N10 tuggers and Max-N pallet stackers , they can test various modules that let the robots be used for different applications targeted at specific challenges, such as transforming a tugger into an autonomous forklift and back again.
