Discussion about mobile robots generally centers around warehouse applications, but the use of mobile robots in production applications has begun to gain traction. "When it comes to CNC automation and AGVs or AMRs, they can be of great help in reducing manual transfers and forklift operations, reducing buffer sizes, increasing the automation level, and making production flow more predictable and reproducible," Mika Laitinen, solution sales director at Fastems, tells AutomationWorld.com.
In this article from AutomationWorld.com, Fastems shares tips for implementing mobile robots for CNC and other production applications, and explains how it's integrated its hardware with software to provide solutions to its end users.
