Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) Are Revolutionizing Manufacturing and Logistics

Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR) are fundamentally changing the world of manufacturing and logistics—and our GESSbot is right at the forefront. In the VW's Transparent Factory He demonstrates how intelligent automation processes can be made more efficient and flexible.

Grip, transport, place—with Techman Robot

The GESSbot can be used with a Robotic Arm from Techman Robot equip. It performs tasks such as retrieving discs from bins, transporting them, and placing them precisely in their designated locations.

A highlight: Thanks to its built-in camera, the GESSbot recognizes which gripper it needs for each task—and switches to it completely independent.

Safety Through Intelligent Protection Fields

Safety is our top priority. The GESSbot navigates using a three-stage protection system through the production environment:

 

  • Warnfeld

 

  • Braking zone

 

  • Stop field

 

This ensures smooth and safe collaboration between people and machines at all times.

Virtual Planning with NVIDIA Omniverse

Before the robot actually goes into operation, we can test the GESSbot's behavior in NVIDIA Omniverse simulate realistically. This allows you to:

 

  • Optimize Protection Zones

 

  • Plan the flow of materials efficiently

 

  • Speed Up Commissioning

 

This virtual planning not only saves time but also reduces costs.

The result: Greater efficiency and flexibility

With GESSbot, companies benefit from:

 

  • higher Flexibility

 

  • lower Costs

 

  • one optimized production process

 

This makes it clear: Autonomous mobile robots are no longer just a vision—they have long been a reality and are actively shaping the future of manufacturing and logistics.
