China will grant FlexQube’s patent for its distinctive Navigator autonomous mobile robot (AMR). This new patent pertains to the know-how of a small and non-load-bearing AMR that connects with motorized FlexQube carts through a wise coupling, making a mixed ecosystem for materials transportation.
As well as, the corresponding patent may also be granted in Canada, and former patents concerning Navigator AMR have been granted within the U.S. and by the European Patent Workplace. Corresponding patent purposes are additionally pending in South Korea, Japan, Mexico, and India.
The FlexQube Navigator received an RBR50 Innovation Award in 2022 for its novel design and its capacity to mate with and transfer a powered cart with a big payload.
On this means, the corporate is defending its mental property, whereas leveraging the chance to broaden its put in base. FlexQube’s modular building equipment allows clients to simply design and rapidly assemble customized materials dealing with carts from an interchangeable element system. The Navigator supplies an autonomous navigation choice to the options that clients can design from.
“It’s gratifying that we’re additional strengthening our patent safety for our distinctive robotic system,” Per Augustsson, industrial product proprietor AMR, FlexQube. The patented know-how allows a protected and environment friendly resolution for our clients who wish to exchange handbook forklifts with automated materials dealing with for manufacturing strains. Our AMR, which is supplied with a standardized interface, can couple with all kinds of motorized load carriers tailored to the fabric the client needs to move. This provides a novel flexibility as the identical AMR can be utilized for a lot of completely different purposes on the buyer.”
The corporate continues to promote primarily to the manufacturing trade in Europe and North America. Throughout the second quarter, a profitable implementation was accomplished at a big industrial producer of heavy autos in Sweden, the place the AMR system delivers high-frequency and production-critical materials to the meeting line the place handbook forklifts have been beforehand used.
