CONVERGIX AGV/AMR solutions
Our AGV division is committed to developing and integrating innovative solutions that address specific customer needs utilizing cutting edge automation and robotics technologies. Automated Guided Vehicles and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AGVs and AMRs) are at the forefront of innovation in streamlining material movement processes while improving plant safety and overall process efficiency.
AGVs and AMRS are not simply stand-alone delivery mechanisms, rather a component of a fully integrated industrial solution. To maximize their efficiency, they must work co-operatively as an integral part of a sophisticated plant automation and control solution. We will provide a safe, predicable and well-defined material movement solution that will also have a high degree of flexibility for adaption to your evolving operations.
AGV / AMR Supervisory Control Module
AGV (automated guided vehicle) and AMR (autonomous mobile robot) technologies are not stand-alone applications in the context of industrial environment material movement. AGV’s and AMRs are typically used in industrial sectors, such as manufacturing and warehousing operations and in order to be effective they need to be integrated with your current control infrastructure.
CONVERGIX’s supervisory module is designed to integrate a vehicle fleet and associated fleet manager into your already existing control systems (PLC / SCADA) and operational management systems (ERP / WMS / MES) creating synergies across technologies facility-wide.
Wind / Unwind Robotic Spool Tending
AGV and AMR technologies are emerging as powerful drivers of manufacturing and material movement efficiency, but they are most effective when applied as fully integrated solutions incorporating complementary technologies. A natural fit with these autonomous vehicles is automated robotic appliances mounted on the vehicles, working in synergy to accomplish repetitive, ergonomically difficult, and non-value-added tasks across a diverse scope of processes.
At CONVERGIX, our roll handling AGV solution is a game changer for manufacturers who handle large rolls of media including paper, textile, wire/cable, and hose. JMP’s system completely automates the transportation of raw materials from the warehouse to the production line as well as directly loading and unloading rolls, spools, or reels from the mandrels/spindles of processing equipment without human interaction.
AGV / AMR Material Movement
As industry 4.0 and IIoT technologies continue to proliferate across industries and applications, modern material handling systems are becoming less static and stationary within most facilities.
Adoption of AGV and AMR technologies has been instrumental in the evolution of traditional material handling and conveyance systems towards fully integrated material movement solutions that incorporate customized handling appliances mounted to a robotic vehicle (or fleet of vehicles) that navigate plant or warehouse environments autonomously with the guidance of an existing control infrastructure.
The integration of autonomous vehicles with material handling appliances introduces the opportunity for more dynamic and fluid material handling and movement processes in manufacturing and warehouse environments in order to increase overall efficiency, productivity and safety.
WE ARE FACTORY AUTOMATioN EXPERTS
Automating material flow is part of a comprehensive automation strategy. Technology with automated vehicles is constantly changing at a rapid pace, and CONVERGIX is frequently evaluating new advancements. We provide our customers with experienced they can trust to seamlessly integrate the technology into their operations. What we provide is a partnership, not a vendor, where we can be a trusted advisor with total solution offerings.
Not all material handling workflows require the same technology and solutions. You can’t always automate everything with the same singular brand. We only want to sell our customers on solutions that work and fit with their needs. That’s why we focus on providing comprehensive, tailored solutions that will not waste your time or money.
