At LogiMAT, Safelog will be showcasing the GT1, a mobile robot that has been specially developed for efficient pallet and shelf transport in fulfilment centres and intralogistics. Thanks to its compact dimensions and agility, the GT1 is suitable for use in confined working environments and dynamic logistics processes.
Fulfilment centres are increasingly faced with the challenge of picking and dispatching large quantities of goods in the shortest possible time. This calls for efficiency and precision - especially in areas where space is limited and conventional transport solutions have reached their limits. This is where the GT1 spin comes into its own: With a height of just 275 millimetres, the mobile robot can drive under a large number of shelves, and bring them safely to their destination.
A scissor system enables a lifting height of up to 70 millimetres and reliably lifts loads of up to 1200 kilograms. Another feature is the integrated turntable, with which the load can be rotated independently of the robot itself. This saves valuable time when positioning the shelves and optimises work processes. With a speed of up to 2.2 m/s with load and 3 m/s without load, the GT1 spin can quickly transport goods to their destination. Additional flexibility is provided by the differential drive, which enables it to turn on the spot - ideal for use in narrow aisles and with frequent changes of direction.
Thanks to its compact design, the GT1 can be easily Integrate into existing logistics systems, without the need for costly adjustments to the infrastructure. This advantage is particularly important for brownfield projects with unchanging trades. In combination with its high load capacity and speed, the robot contributes to this, speed up the flow of goods in fulfilment centres and make it more efficient. As goods-to-person and shelf-to-person processes are optimised in many industries through automation, both in terms of process speed and ergonomic aspects, mobile robots can play an important role here in the future.
Decentralised control ensures reliability
Like all mobile robots from Safelog, the GT1 with an agent-based control system, which does not require a central control centre. The vehicles communicate with each other independently, coordinate their routes and tasks and adapt flexibly to changes in the process. This Decentralised swarm approach the system remains efficient even in the event of a malfunction, as only the affected vehicle fails while the rest of the fleet continues to fulfil its tasks unhindered. Of course, all Safelog devices also support the VDA 5050 standard.
