OTTO Motors has unveiled its latest autonomous mobile robot (AMR), the OTTO 600. This mid-range AMR boasts unparalleled strength and agility, being capable of moving pallets, carts, and payloads weighing up to 600 kg or 1,322 lb. Not only that, but it can also operate in highly demanding factory environments.
CEO and Co-Founder of OTTO Motors, Matt Rendall said, “In 2015, OTTO 1500 defined the heavy-class AMR category. In 2017, OTTO 100 quickly became responsible for the industry’s largest AMR installations. In 2022, we launched OTTO Lifter, the world’s first truly autonomous forklift. Today, we’re proud to announce OTTO 600, a mid-range AMR offering the perfect balance of strength and agility. Powered by autonomous software, OTTO now offers an unmatched material handling portfolio.”
Furthermore, OTTO announced the release of its new software update 2.28 which offers faster speed, safer traffic movement, and a new facility configuration interface. This marks the sixth software release in the past three years from the company.
Jay Judkowitz, VP of Product at OTTO Motors stated, “The success of large-scale, deeply integrated deployments depends significantly on effective fleet management, which is why we are continuously evolving our fleet manager. In this software upgrade, we are introducing new traffic management functionality that enables users to create different rules of the road for groups of different OTTO AMRs in the facility, resulting in faster traffic movement and improved safety.”
Some of the key features of the OTTO 600 include its maneuverability in tight spaces, durable build for demanding environments, and the ability to work safely with people and objects. This versatile AMR can move carts and pallets, and connect islands of automation to enable limitless workflows including lineside delivery, work cell delivery and palletizer to stretch-wrapper transport.
To further improve productivity, customers can use the Team-Based Traffic Control to create traffic zones for specific robot types, and the new and intuitive facility configuration interface saves up to 50% of the setup time required to establish facility maps and workflows.
OTTO Motors is an industry leader for autonomous mobile robots and is known for its interoperability with the AGV standard, VDA5050. This empowers customers to manage dissimilar types of material handling solutions from a third-party master controller interface. Furthermore, the OTTO Lifter now supports BulkPak 4845 HDMP series bins, allowing customers to move more pallets of their choice.
The OTTO 600 is yet another outstanding addition to OTTO Motors’ portfolio and promises to transform the world of material handling.
