Company says mobile robot advances safety and efficiency in material handling
Seegrid, a prominent developer of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) for palletized material handling, has introduced its latest innovation, the Tow Tractor S7 AMR. Aimed at revolutionizing workflows in industrial environments, the Tow Tractor has already demonstrated its reliability, with nearly 15 million autonomous miles logged in over 200 production facilities. Its performance has made it the leading tow tractor AMR in the U.S., serving manufacturing, warehousing, and logistics sectors with enhanced productivity and safety.
Powered by Seegrid’s proprietary Grid Engine technology, the Tow Tractor S7 uses 3D probabilistic mapping and stereo vision for precise indoor navigation without requiring costly infrastructure modifications. The AMR's adaptability is bolstered by Seegrid’s human-in-the-loop training model, ensuring safe and flexible routing even as facility layouts change by up to 60%.
Engineered for a range of applications, including parts-to-line, putaway, and cross-docking, the Tow Tractor’s 10,000-lb towing capacity and 9-hour battery life maximize efficiency.
Seegrid’s Fleet Central software enables real-time monitoring of AMR operations and integrates seamlessly with facility management systems like WMS, PLC, and ERP platforms.
