Automated Guided Vehicle Systems
Intelligent AGV enhances lean manufacturing environments.
Press Release Summary:
ADAM(TM) (Autonomous Delivery and Manipulation) optimizes operational productivity by robotically transporting work-in-process and finished goods between locations. Intended for lean manufacturing operations, it adjusts to changing environment without assistance from support lifelines such as guide wires, reflectors, or transponders. Standard features include laser range finding system, on-board PC, RAP (Reactive Audio Playback) module, and li-ion battery with opportunity charging.
Original Press Release:
RMT Robotics Releases Next Generation ADAM i-AGV for Lean Manufacturers
New upgrades eliminate manual errors and enhance random routing of goods and materials
Grimsby, Ontario, Canada - RMT Robotics® (www.rmtrobotics.com), manufacturer and integrator of innovative robotic material handling systems, announces the launch of ADAM(TM) (Autonomous Delivery and Manipulation) for application in Lean manufacturing operations. The new software and hardware enhancements were developed to cater to the needs of the electronics, automotive, plastics, aerospace, solar and other industries that feature similar non-linear production logistics.
The features of the newest generation of ADAM include:
ADAM is a proven intelligent AGV (i-AGV) platform designed to eliminate manual labor and optimize operational productivity by robotically transporting work-in-process and finished goods between locations in a complex, random origin to random destination production environment. ADAM adjusts to a changing environment without assistance from traditional support lifelines such as guide wires, reflectors or transponders.
"ADAM can literally go where no AGV has gone before," said Doug Pickard, founder and president, RMT Robotics. "Nimble enough to navigate around obstacles, ADAM's adaptive nature is ideal for just-in-time delivery and shifting work flow layouts."
ADAM History
Launched in 2005 as an innovative press delivery solution for the global tire industry, the original ADAM was designed to replace the manual process of green tire transport by offering a fully automated, just-in-time connection between work-in-process tire storage and automated curing presses. ADAM rapidly earned a reputation for durability, reliability and operational efficiency in this dynamically changing and environmentally harsh operation. ADAM not only delivered on the promise of labor elimination but also amplified ROI by delivering lean manufacturing benefits such as reduced work in process inventory, electronic product tracking, error elimination and improved final product quality.
