Omron Corporation introduces the new LD-250 mobile robot, the most powerful and newest member of the company's LD series of mobile robots with a payload capacity of 250 kilograms. In combination with the Fleet Manager, which for the first time in the industry enables the control of multiple mobile robots with different payloads via a single system, the LD-250 contributes to more flexible and optimised autonomous material handling.<\/p>\n

With the LD-250 and Fleet Manager, companies and production facilities around the world can Productivity and profitability<\/strong> of a highly mixed manufacturing process increase<\/strong>, to overcome challenges such as the declining number of skilled workers in industrialised countries and rising labour costs in emerging markets.<\/p>\n

Doubled loading area and autonomous material transport<\/h2>\n

The new LD-250 mobile robot scores points with a payload of 250 kilograms and an almost doubled loading area. It is therefore ideal for transporting large automotive components such as transmission blocks or bulky packaging materials - items that are normally transported by employees in trolleys.<\/p>

To optimise autonomous material transport, customers can use the industry's first Fleet Manager<\/strong> from Omron, which can be used to control up to 100 mobile Omron robots with different payloads and functions. The Fleet Manager takes over the tasks of traffic and battery management as well as order management. The LD-250 robot can recognise people and obstacles independently and automatically calculates the optimum collision-free path.<\/p>\n

\u201eSince acquiring the US robotics company Adept Technology in 2015, Omron has been working with its Omron initiative \u201einnovative-Automation<\/em>\u201c to support customers in the realisation of flexible production. The new LD-250 is the key to expanding this initiative, as it offers customers more choices<\/strong> in the automation of their material transport.\u201c<\/p>\n
