Autonomous Transfer Process
Once the AMR has stopped at a predetermined location, the unit will communicate with the HC that it has arrived. The supervisor panel will then check the ‘zones’ conveyor load sensors to see which have loads that are ready to be picked up or dropped off. The supervisor then communicates that information to the HC who will initiate the transfer. The HC also locks the drive motor of the Seegrid AMR during a material transfer for safety purposes. Once the transfer has taken place the HC and supervisor control panel will confirm the transfer. Then, it communicates that to the AMR to allow it to proceed to the next station. The system has a transfer speed of approximately 30 feet per minute.
